Army’s Four Strategic Roles

The Army

supports

the joint force in four strategic

roles:

Shaping

operational

environmentsPreventing conflictPrevailing in large-scale ground combatConsolidating gainsADP 1 para 2-18Introductory figure. ADP 3-0 unified logic chart

Shaping Operational Environments

ADP 1 para 2-19 /

ADP

3-0 para 1-32

Army operations to shape:

Promote regional stability

Set conditions for favorable outcomes

Dissuade adversary activity

Shaping activities

include:

Security

cooperation

Forward

presence to promote U.S.

interests

D

eveloping

allied and friendly military capabilities for self-defense and multinational operationsContinuously setting the theater for operations and training

Preventing Conflict

ADP 1 para 2-20 / ADP 3-0 para 1-33

Army operations to prevent include all activities to deter undesirable actions by an adversary

.

Army prevent activities

include:

Mobilization

Force tailoringPredeployment activitiesDeployment into a theater of operationsEcheloning of command postsEmployment of intelligence collection assetsFurther development of: CommunicationsSustainmentProtection infrastructure

Prevailing in Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO)

ADP 1 para 2-21 / ADP 3-0 para 1-34

During large-scale ground combat operations, Army forces focus on the defeat and destruction

of enemy

ground forces as part of the joint team

.

Divisions and corps formations conduct LSCO by:

AttackingDefendingPerforming stability tasksConsolidating gains to accomplish national objectives

Consolidating Gains

Consolidating gains allows forces to:

Capitalize on operational success

R

einforce

and integrate the efforts of all unified action partners

How well ground forces consolidate gains determines

how enduring the results will be. ADP 1 para 2-22 / ADP 3-0 para 1-35 C

onsolidating

gains

are activities to make enduring any temporary

operational success

and to set the conditions for a sustainable security environment, allowing for a transition

of control

to other legitimate authorities.

Unified action

p

artners are those military forces, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and elements of the private sector with whom Army forces plan, coordinate, synchronize, and integrate during the conduct of operations. (ADP 3-0)

Army’s Five Core Competencies

Prompt

Combined

arms operations:

Combined arms maneuver (CAM) and wide area security (WAS) Armored and mechanized operationsAirborne and air assault operationsSpecial operationsTheater sustainment for the joint forceIntegration of national, multinational (MN), and joint power on landADP 1 para 2-24

Land Combat

Prompt and sustained land combat is the assigned function of the

Army.

Land combat requires:

Expeditionary capability

Ability to task organize

Ability to sustain efforts

Ability to adapt to changing operational environmentsADP 1 para 2-25
