Preface - Training the Force

The U. S. Army exists for one reason—to serve the Nation. From the
earliest days of its creation, the Army has embodied and defended the
American way of life and its constitutional system of government. It
will continue to answer the call to fight and win our Nation’s wars,
whenever and wherever they may occur. That is the Army’s non-negotiable
contract with the American people.

The Army will do whatever the Nation asks it to do, from decisively
winning wars to promoting and keeping the peace. To this end, the Army
must be strategically responsive and ready to be dominant at every point
across the full spectrum of military operations. Today, the Army must
meet the challenge of a wider range of threats and a more complex set of
operating environments while incorporating new and diverse technology.
The Army meets these challenges through its core competencies: Shape the
Security Environment, Prompt Response, Mobilize the Army, Forcible Entry
Operations, Sustained Land Dominance and Support Civil Authorities. We
must maintain combat readiness as our primary focus while transitioning
to a more agile, versatile, lethal, and survivable Army.

Doctrine represents a professional army’s collective thinking about how
it intends to fight, train, equip, and modernize. When the first edition
of FM 25-100, Training the Force, was published in 1988, it represented
a revolution in the way the Army trains. The doctrine articulated by FMs
25-100, Training the Force, and 25-101, Battle Focused Training, has
served the Army well. These enduring principles of training remain
sound; much of the content of these manuals remains valid for both today
and well into the future. FM 7-0 updates FM 25-100 to our current
operational environment and will soon be followed by FM 7-1, which will
update FM 25-101. FM 7-0 is the Army’s capstone training doctrine and is
applicable to all units, at all levels, and in all components. While the
examples in this manual are principally focused at division and below,
FM 7-0 provides the essential fundamentals for all individual, leader,
and unit training. Training for warfighting is our number one priority
in peace and in war. Warfighting readiness is derived from tactical and
technical competence and confidence. Competence relates to the ability
to fight our doctrine through tactical and technical execution.
Confidence is the individual and collective belief that we can do all
things better than the adversary and the unit possesses the trust and
will to accomplish the mission.

FM 7-0 provides the training and leader development methodology that
forms the foundation for developing competent and confident soldiers and
units that will win decisively in any environment. Training is the means
to achieve tactical and technical competence for specific tasks,
conditions, and standards. Leader Development is the deliberate,
continuous, sequential, and progressive process, based on Army values,
that develops soldiers and civilians into competent and confident
leaders capable of decisive action.

Closing the gap between training, leader development, and battlefield
performance has always been the critical challenge for any army.
Overcoming this challenge requires achieving the correct balance between
training management and training execution. Training management focuses
leaders on the science of training in terms of resource efficiencies
(such as people, time, and ammunition) measured against tasks and
standards. Training execution focuses leaders on the art of leadership
to develop trust, will, and teamwork under varying
conditions—intangibles that must be developed to win decisively in
combat. Leaders integrate this science and art to identify the right
tasks, conditions, and standards in training, foster unit will and
spirit, and then adapt to the battlefield to win decisively.

FM 7-0 provides the Training Management Cycle and the necessary
guidelines on how to plan, execute, and assess training and leader
development. Understanding “How the Army Trains the Army” to fight is
key to successful joint, interagency, multinational (JIM), and combined
arms operations. Effective training leads to units that execute the
Army’s core competencies and capabilities. All leaders are trainers!
This manual is designed for leaders at every level and in every type of
organization in the Army.
