text: Preface
  FM 3-01 is the Army-specific air and missile defense (AMD) publication outlining doctrinal AMD principles
  and guidelines. It describes how air defense artillery (ADA), the Army’s dedicated component for AMD, and
  its organizations prepare for and conduct operations. It presents the AMD roles in support of joint unified
  action operations and Army unified land operations, addressing offensive and defensive, stability, and
  defense support of civil authorities tasks. The strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war are discussed,
  and AMD operations are defined in terms of their contributions to Army operations, as expressed in FM 3-
  0, the Army operational concept of unified land operations, and the joint counterair mission as presented in
  JP 3-01. FM 3-01 provides doctrinal guidance for commanders, staffs, leaders, and trainers at all levels in the
  operational and institutional forces, and is the basis for curricula development in the U.S. Army Air Defense
  Artillery School.
  The primary target audience for this manual is the ADA community and Army/joint leaders and staff
  personnel. Other services and joint organizations may use this manual to gain insight into Army AMD
  operations.
  Commanders, staffs, and subordinates must ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S.,
  international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels must ensure
  their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement (see FM 6-27).
  FM 3-01 uses joint terms where applicable. Joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary
  and the text. Terms for which FM 3-01 is the proponent publication are marked with an asterisk (*) in the
  glossary. Definitions for which FM 3-01 is the proponent publication are boldfaced in the text. For other
  definitions shown in the text, the term is italicized and referenced to the proponent publication number. All
  ADA-unique acronyms, with the exceptions of ADA and AMD, are spelled out the first time they are used
  in each of the chapters to enhance readability. Common Army acronyms are spelled out only once, the first
  time they are used.
  FM 3-01 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard, and United States Army Reserve forces unless
  otherwise stated.
  The proponent for FM 3-01 is the Commandant, U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery School. The preparing
