Field Manual (FM) 3-0 -- A Blueprint for Full-Spectrum Conflict and Army Modernization

FM 3-0 Operations, dated February 2008, gives the U.S. Army's view of how to conduct prompt and sustained land operations. The manual draws on learned lessons from the last 6 years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. "FM 3-0 is the blueprint for an uncertain future," says GEN William S. Wallace, Commanding General (CG), U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. "The Army must prepare for a full-spectrum conflict -- not just major combat operations. Preparation for full-spectrum conflict and organizational change begins with doctrine. FM 3-0 presents doctrine that will become a driver for change in the Army."
