TRADOC is a relevant and essential organization in today's Army. No other organization performs the functions that TRADOC accomplishes. Unfortunately, TRADOC is not operating as effective as it could be. Its process lines, or lines of command and control, are not firmly established. Additionally, TRADOC has a staff structure that is unlike any other structure in the Department of Defense. These seemingly unassuming criticisms hinder effective horizontal and vertical integration within TRADOC and throughout the rest of the Army and Department of Defense. As well as providing recommended solutions, this monograph carries it one-step further by explaining how to implement the recommendations as well. Having a solution without a viable plan to implement them may prove the recommendations as unfeasible. This is accomplished by exploring the history of TRADOC and the challenges in its development, then applying those lessons learned to the recommended solutions. The Parker Panel, Reorganization of 1972, and Operations Steadfast are summarized. Exploring the history of TRADOC also provides an explanation of why TRADOC has the mission and functions that it is charged with today. In establishing depth of analysis, TRADOC's current mission and functions will be derived from essential federal documents and regulations. The theoretical underpinnings are explained by using Frederick Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management and TRADOC's current major subordinate command and staff structures are dissected in order to describe process lines. Analyzing these aspects provides an explanation of the complexity of TRADOC's mission and functions along with the major subordinate command and staff structures to accomplish those functions and the ineffectiveness that has resulted. To overcome the current ineffectiveness, it is recommended that TRADOC establishes clear lines of command and control and changes the current staff structure to the structure of a G-staff. Establishing clear lines of command and control fulfills the requirements set forth by Taylor's theory and adheres to the Army's doctrine of unity of command. Establishing a G-staff standardizes TRADOC to the rest of the Army and Department of Defense by making the staff functions recognizable to those outside of the organization. By tying in the lessons learned from the creation of TRADOC and the recommendations put forth, TRADOC is poised to become more effective.
One of the U.S. Army's greatest traditions is seen in the framework of the lineage and honors which link soldiers and their units. Organizations such as U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) usually do not acquire much in the way of history or heritage. But in an era of seemingly endless reorganization, TRADOC has proven to be an anomaly. It has maintained its original mission, almost completely intact, and kept the same name for 30 years. I am pleased to introduce this survey of TRADOC's first three decades. Credit for the solid character of the command and its continued relevance to The Army goes first and foremost to TRADOC's founder, General William DePuy. His vision of an organization dedicated to providing training excellence, guidance on how to fight the country's wars, and insights on the organization and materiel necessary to support the soldier and execute doctrine proved exactly right. From the outset, General DePuy put the soldier at the center of the command's work, avoiding the temptation to allow technology to dictate the present or the future of warfare. No single decision could have been more important for the success of America's Army on battlefields since TRADOC's founding in 1973. TRADOC still “lives” General DePuy's vision in its mission to train the Army's soldiers and develop its leaders, support training in units, develop doctrine, establish standards, recruit the force, and build the future Army. TRADOC is still built around training the individual soldier—training is our primary mission, our baseplate. We should remain mindful of this as we look back over the past 30 years and as we accomplish our current work of establishing the standards and requirements for training and developments for The Army, and of developing competent and adaptive leaders while ensuring currency in our doctrine. TRADOC remains an adaptable organization, open-minded to new ideas, innovation, and collaboration. We embrace jointness in our component command-like relationship with Joint Forces Command, helping define the contribution of land forces to the joint and coalition battle and serving as The Army's component for joint developments in training, doctrine, concept development, and experimentation. Looking from the vantage point of the past, we build The Army of the future. We recruit young Americans as soldiers who serve as the centerpiece of The Army's formation and readiness. We take these new recruits, try to ensure a smooth transition into our ranks, imbue Army values, the warrior ethos, and discipline into them, and provide them the necessary skills needed to immediately contribute to their first unit of assignment. Then we train them through-out their careers, as quality forces must have quality training as well as quality equipment. Just as TRADOC has “touched” every member of today's Transforming Army, TRADOC itself must transform. Transforming the Army, and achieving irreversible momentum toward that end, is imperative. By TRADOC's Transformation, we strive to place the best capabilities and equipment into the hands of the quality force we have recruited. There, the circle of TRADOC's mission becomes complete. Through Transformation, TRADOC remains committed to soldiers, civilians, and families. May future soldiers and civilians of TRADOC learn from the successes captured in these pages.
This Soldier training publication (STP) contains standardized training objectives (in the form of task summaries) to train and evaluate Soldiers on critical tasks that support unit missions during wartime. Trainers and leaders should actively plan for Soldiers holding this military occupational specialty (MOS) to have access to this publication.

The proponent for this publication is U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
TRADOC Pamphlet (Pam) 525-8-3, The U.S. Army Training Concept, 2012-2020, is the Army's visualization of how it will provide training for units to execute full-spectrum operations in a joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational operational environment. This concept identifies desired current and future capabilities to overcome anticipated challenges in the training environment. This environment is characterized by persistent conflict, uncertainty and surprise in which there are multiple complex challenges across the globe. TRADOC Pam 525-8-3 is the foundation for the development of unit training for future Army forces and serves as the baseline for follow-on CBA as a part of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System effort. As the basis for performing this assessment, TRADOC Pam 525-8-3 suggests a set of capabilities that guide how a future commander may utilize training across the domains of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) to augment mission capabilities. It acknowledges the requirement to consider all the variables of the future operational environment: political, military, economic, social, informational, infrastructure, physical environment, and time.
U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command TRADOC Pamphlet 525-8-5 The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Engagement, expands on the ideas presented in TP 525-3-0, The U.S. Army Capstone Concept (ACC), and TP 525-3-1, The U.S. Army Operating Concept (AOC), and introduces a new warfighting function. The complexity and uncertainty in the global environment means the Army must become more agile, flexible, and well-prepared to tackle a broad range of operations through the development of innovative, low-cost, and small-footprint approaches to achieve U.S. security objectives. The Army also must possess a broad range of capabilities to shape future operational environments, maintain its lethality on the battlefield, and be able to leverage unified action partners to reduce demands, prevent, and end conflict. The engagement warfighting function will institutionalize into Army doctrine, training, education, and leader development, the capabilities and skills necessary to work with host nations, regional partners, and indigenous populations in a culturally attuned manner that allows bridging language barriers, opening lines of communication and connections with key political and military leaders in a way that is both immediate and lasting. It enhances interdependence between special operations forces, conventional forces, and unified action partners while incorporating the tenets of the emerging idea of the human domain. As a result, this warfighting function will contribute to mission accomplishment by providing better, more synchronized lethal and nonlethal capabilities to assess, shape, deter, and influence the decisions and behavior of a nation's security forces, government, and people. TP 525-8-5 effectively complements the six other warfighting functions and is fully nested in the broad vision outlined in both the ACC and AOC. This concept will lead force development and modernization efforts by establishing a common framework to capitalize on the integrative opportunities all of the warfighting functions provide to future land operations.
FM 5-0 (C1), The Operations Process, constitutes the Army's view on planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations. It describes how commanders-supported by their staffs, subordinate commanders, and other military and civilian partners-exercise mission command during the conduct of full spectrum operations. It describes how design assists commanders with understanding complex problems and developing an operational approach to solve or manage those problems throughout the conduct of operations. This manual applies to all Army forces. The principal audience for this manual is Army commanders and unit staffs (officers, noncommissioned officers, and Soldiers). Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as a joint task force or a multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine for the exercise of command and control. Trainers and educators throughout the Army also use this manual.

This training circular (TC) is one of a series that describes an opposing force (OPFOR) for training U.S. Army commanders, staffs, and units. See the References section for a list of other TCs in this series. (Other publications in the former Field Manual [FM] 7-100 series will be converted to TCs as well.) Together, these TCs outline an OPFOR than can cover the entire spectrum of military and paramilitary capabilities against which the Army must train to ensure success in any future conflict. Applications for this series of TCs include field training, training simulations, and classroom instruction throughout the Army. All Army training venues should use an OPFOR based on these TCs, except when mission rehearsal or contingency training requires maximum fidelity to a specific country-based threat or enemy. Even in the latter case, trainers should use appropriate parts of the OPFOR TCs to fill information gaps in a manner consistent with what they do know about a specific threat or enemy. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG) /Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. Headquarters, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is the proponent for this publication. The preparing agency is the Contemporary Operational Environment and Threat Integration Directorate (CTID), TRADOC G-2 Intelligence Support Activity (TRISA)-Threats.

Soldier physical readiness is acquired through the challenge of a precise, progressive, and integrated physical training program. A well-conceived plan of military physical readiness training must be an integral part of every unit training program. This field manual prescribes doctrine for the execution of the Army Physical Readiness Training System. Illustrated throughout.
This circular provides leaders with information about and training guidance for using training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS) in support of the Infantry rifle and weapons company. It also describes how leaders may use TADSS to support specific training events. It follows the doctrine in FM 7-0 and FM 7-1 and complements the IBCT combined arms training strategy (CATS). Finally, it provides TADSS training programs for use by the Infantry company leader (DA Pamphlet 350-9 provides additional TADSS information): Chapter 1 explains how TADSS work within the Army's training infrastructure by showing how Infantry company leaders can use the IBCT CATS to support their unit training strategy. Chapter 2 contains examples of how TADSS are used. Chapter 3 describes the TADSS, and their capabilities, limitations, recommended training strategies, and supporting references. Each appendix provides a matrix that links tasks to TADSS and that support the Infantry CATS, from mortar section to company. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The proponent of this publication is the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The preparing agency is the US Army Infantry School. Today's broad range of missions and the unpredictable nature of the contemporary operational environment (COE) cause personnel turbulence, high operating tempo (OPTEMPO), and new equipment and systems. Time is an inflexible resource-there is never enough, and it cannot be increased. Leaders improvise with the resources at hand, exploit opportunities, and accomplish the mission within the commander's intent. They achieve combat readiness by effectively using TADSS for realistic and challenging training. Identifying and integrating TADSS supports the crawl-walk-run training approach.
This training circular (TC) outlines a methodology for designing and executing training exercises. It describes planning procedures and methodologies, responsibilities, and analysis for those who plan and control Army exercises intended as culminating collective training events that critically assess unit-training status. Collective training is part of unit training. It is performance oriented and a command responsibility executed by leaders at all echelons. As a continuous process executed in accordance with a formal training program, collective training trains units and teams on tasks and missions they are expected to perform. It is executed in a crawl-walkrun approach and reaches across all training domains and integrated live, virtual, constructive, and gaming training environments.

Army Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (ATTP) 3-06.11 establishes doctrine for combined arms operations in urban terrain for the brigade combat team (BCT) and battalion/squadron commanders and staffs, company/troop commanders, small-unit leaders, and individual Soldiers. The continued trend worldwide of urban growth and the shift of populations from rural to urban areas continues to affect Army operations. The urban environment, consisting of complex terrain, dense populations, and integrated infrastructures, is the predominant operational environment in which Army forces currently operate. Each urban environment is unique and differs because of the combinations presented by the enemy, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and always changing societal and geopolitical considerations. Enemy forces will take advantage of this complex environment by intermingling with the populace. ATTP 3-06.11 describes the fundamental principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) of urban operations (UO) across full spectrum operations, using the UO operational construct (understand, shape, engage, consolidate, and transition) to outline the discussions. ATTP 3-06.11 is based on current BCT structure and lessons learned from ongoing UO. ATTP 3-06.11 primarily addresses offensive and defensive operations in an urban environment. Stability operations are briefly discussed in the context of transition considerations. Stability operations are inherently among the people and generally in urban environments. Field manual (FM) 3-07 is the source manual for stability doctrine and addresses BCT considerations for conducting stability UO. FM 3-07.1 is the primary source for BCT and below considerations for interaction and support to host nation (HN) security forces. This material is not repeated in ATTP 3-06.11. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The proponent for this publication is the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The preparing agency is the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE). Urban operations are among the most difficult and challenging missions a BCT can undertake. Most UO are planned and controlled at division or corps level but executed by BCTs. The unified action environment of UO enables and enhances the capabilities of the BCT to plan, prepare, and execute offensive, defensive, and stability operations. Urban operations are Infantry-centric combined arms operations that capitalize on the adaptive and innovative leaders at the squad, platoon, and company level. Combined arms is the synchronized and simultaneous application of the elements of combat power to achieve an effect greater than if each element of combat power was used separately or sequentially. The eight elements of combat power are leadership, information, movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, mission command, and protection. Leadership and information are applied through, and multiply the effects of, the other six elements of combat power. These six-movement and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, mission command, and protection-are collectively described as the warfighting functions. (See FM 3-0 for details.) The BCT is the Army's largest fixed combined arms organization and the primary close combat force. A key component in UO is the inherent ability of the BCT to tailor its force to meet the requirements of the urban environment. This introduction provides an overview of UO considerations that shape the subsequent discussions of operations at BCT and below.
