Foreword
The Army’s contribution to Joint Operations is Unified Land Operations executed
through Decisive Action and guided by Mission Command. ADP 3-0, Operations,
is the Army’s capstone doctrine that captures the most critical lessons from a decade
of continuous small scale land combat. In this edition, we retain lessons of the past
but also look to a future where large-scale ground combat against peer threats is a
distinct possibility. This publication builds on the idea that success requires fully
integrating Army operations with the efforts of Unified Action partners, across all
domains, to achieve enduring outcomes.
ADP 3-0 provides a common operational doctrine for Army forces operating across
the full range of military operations in multiple domains. Army forces comprising
over 180,000 Soldiers are currently conducting operations in more than 140
countries to shape operational environments, prevent aggression, defeat enemies in
combat, and consolidate battlefield gains. Army forces not engaged in ongoing
operations are focused on their readiness for future operations which requires
effective training and professional education built on doctrine. ADP 3-0 informs the
preparation for, and execution of, operations. All leaders need to understand and be
familiar with it.
The central idea of Unified Land Operations is that, as part of a joint force, Army
forces seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain a position of relative advantage
in order to shape the operational environment, prevent conflict, consolidate gains,
and win our Nation’s wars. ADP 3-0 discusses the principles of Unified Land
Operations—Mission Command, Develop the Situation Through Action,
Combined Arms, Adherence to the Law of War, Establish and Maintain
Security,and Create Multiple Dilemmas for the Enemy. ADP 3-0 incorporates the
tenets of Unified Land Operations—Simultaneity, Depth, Synchronization, and
Flexibility. It emphasizes operational art as the connection between strategic
objectives and tactical actions, and it supports a common construct for organizing
both Joint and Army operations. The construct consists of the Army operations
process, an operational framework for visualizing and describing operations, and
combat power.
ADP 3-0 serves as the common operational doctrine for the Army. Its central idea,
adapted to the unique conditions of each operational environment, represents the
Army’s unique contribution to Unified Action. It will permeate our doctrine, our
training, and our leader professional development programs.
