Advances in civilian and military technology have changed the character of warfare and the conduct of Army and joint force operations. The dilemmas posed by the integration of new technologies into the future battlefield have changed the way the Army and the joint force sustain multidomain operations. In the future, sustainment will be more complex, demanding, visible to the enemy, vulnerable, and therefore, must be more synchronized, dispersed, and responsive than ever before. FM 4-0 provides a doctrinal approach for armies, corps, divisions, and brigades to address sustainment challenges across the range of military operations, the competition continuum and the strategic contexts in which Army forces conduct operations. As the keystone sustainment doctrine, it describes how sustainment is embedded into all military operations, tasks, and activities.
