FM 7-30 I N T R O D U C T I O N The world geopolitical environment will continue to directly affect US military strategy. In support of our US military strategy, the Army projects forces (the military instrument of power projection) to deter aggression worldwide. Should deterrence fail, Army forces are prepared to defeat the enemy across the full range of operations. In the future, force projection operations will be the norm as forward deployed divisions are returned to the continental US. The Army classifies its activities as war and operations other than war (those activities that occur during peace and or conflict). US Army operations are varied and range from aid and assistance to foreign government to full combat operations against a well-armed hostile force.
