TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-6, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver AFC-MM Feb 2017 The U.S. Army is the Nation's principal land force organized, trained, and equipped for prompt and sustained combat on land. Today's adversaries have studied how the U.S. Joint Force prefers to operate and adapted to develop capabilities that contest our operations on land, at sea, in the air, in space and cyberspace, as well as the electromagnetic spectrum, information environment, and human perception. Defeating future enemies that possess advanced capabilities calls for land forces operating as integrated joint teams that conduct simultaneous and sequential operations across multiple domains. Future Army forces will be prepared to fight and win across all contested spaces to create temporary windows of superiority across multiple domains that enable Joint Force freedom of action to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to defeat enemies. This requires flexible and resilient ground formations that project combat power from land into other domains to enable Joint Force freedom of action, while seizing positions of relative advantage and controlling key terrain to consolidate gains. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-6, The U.S. Army Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver (AFC-MM), expands on the ideas presented in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World (AOC). It describes how Army maneuver forces generate overmatch across all domains, the electromagnetic spectrum, information environment, and human perception. The concept also describes how Army forces project power across strategic distances and then transition rapidly to cross-domain maneuver, and how maneuver formations at echelons above brigade contribute to shaping operations and the close fight.
