Training America's Army for the Next Millennium.

Abstract

The current U.S. Army training doctrine, contained in FM 25-100, Training the Force, and FM 25-101, Training the Force - Battle Focused Training, was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Army and its environment have changed since this doctrine was published. The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which the environment has changed since the doctrine was written, and to determine those aspects of doctrine that are still valid, while exploring those elements in which change may be required and desirable. Additionally, non-doctrinal practices that are widely used in the field are considered for inclusion in doctrine. The study concludes that, although a large portion of the current Army training doctrine is valid for today and for the next decade, the recommended clarifications, changes and additions must be made to ensure a trained and ready Army for the next millennium.
