Description

FM 7-0, Training for Full Spectrum Operations, establishes the Army’s keystone doctrine for training.
Since FM 7-0 was last published, enough has changed in the nature of operational environments worldwide
to merit a full review of its content and form. FM 7-0 is the guide for Army training and training management.
It addresses the fundamental principles and tenets of training.
FM 7-0 addresses the fundamentals of training modular, expeditionary Army forces to conduct full spectrum
operations—simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability or civil support operations—in an era of

leaders during both force generation and operational deployments.
FM 7-0 incorporates new tenets for training modular organizations to conduct full spectrum operations.
However, the manual has further developed the concepts in the 2002 version as well. The Army must not

that commanders should leverage the combat experience of seasoned individuals and their leaders in developing training plans
