THE OPERATIONS PROCESS
- Share to:
The six chapters and its associated ten appendixes of this edition of field manual (FM) 5-0, The Operations
Process, constitute the Army’s view on planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations. Together with
FM 6-0, Mission Command: Command and Control of Army Forces, this manual provides the Army with a
common philosophy and language for the exercise of command and control throughout the conduct of operations.
This version of FM 5-0 increases the scope of the manual over previous versions from strictly a manual on
planning and orders production to a manual that addresses all activities of the operations process. It describes
how commanders, with support from their staffs, drive the operations process through battle command—the art
and science of understanding, visualizing, describing, directing, leading, and assessing operations to accomplish
missions. This change intends to better describe the dynamic relationship among the commander, staff,
subordinate commanders and their staffs, and other military and civilian partners throughout the operations
process—not just planning. In addition, FM 5-0 incorporates design within the operations process. Design is an
approach to critical and creative thinking that assists commanders in understanding, visualizing, and describing
complex problems and developing approaches to manage or solve them.
