Book excerpt: Field Manual (FM) 7-0, Training Units and Developing Leaders for Full Spectrum Operations, establishes the Army's keystone doctrine for training units and developing leaders for full spectrum operations, on a rotational cycle using Army force generation (ARFORGEN). FM 7-0 addresses the fundamentals of training modular, expeditionary Army forces and developing leaders to conduct full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict. To emphasize that the unit mission-essential task list (METL) must reflect full spectrum operations, this manual uses the phrase "full spectrum operations METL." Conducting effective training for full spectrum operations must be a top priority of senior leaders during ARFORGEN and during operational deployments. FM 7-0 does not answer every training challenge of today's complex operational environments. It should, however, generate introspection on how Soldiers and units train for full spectrum operations as part of an expeditionary Army. FM 7-0 provides just enough guidance to facilitate flexibility and innovative approaches to unit training and leader development. Chapter 1 discusses operational environments in which training, operations, and leader development occur. It stresses the need for the Army to prepare for full spectrum operations through unit training and leader development. Chapter 2 focuses on the Army's principles of training units and developing leaders that apply at all organizational levels and across all components. Chapter 3 describes Army training management. It focuses on using the Army training management model to plan, prepare, execute, and assess training for units in ARFORGEN force pools. FM 7-0 applies to all leaders at all organizational levels. All leaders are trainers. Leaders include officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and Army civilians in leadership positions. FM 7-0 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.
