Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and pur pose. This FMI provides doctrine for the exercise of command and control throughout the conduct (planning, preparing, execution, and assessment) of full spectrum operations. PURPOSE This FMI reinforces fundamental principles in FMs 3-0, 5-0, and 6-0. It clarifies, emphasizes, or expands upon those fundamentals based on changes in Army structure and lessons learned from ongoing operations. It pro vides commanders with doctrinal considerations for organizing their individual command and control (C2) sys tems and putting them into action to accomplish missions. It also replaces the battlefield operating systems de scribed in FM 3-0 with the six warfighting functions.
