About

Mobility on the Battlefield THE AIRLAND BATTLE CHALLENGE AIRLAND BATTLE DOCTRINE AirLand battle doctrine, described in FM 1005, is the Army's "how to fight" doctrine. It applies to deployment and operation of US forces at and between two battlefield extremes—combat areas without existing support bases and lines of communication (LOC) to combat areas where these features exist. The US forces must be prepared to fight under the most severe of these environments as well as under conditions created by terrorism, unconventional warfare, or minor conventional conflicts. To win the next war, US forces must be able to move decisively in all directions without loss of momentum. They must also analyze and acquire targets quickly and precisely to maintain this momentum. To do this, proper mobility planning is essential.
