text: Foreword
  Winning matters! There is no second place or honorable mention in combat. We win by developing cohesive
  teams that are highly trained, disciplined, and fit. We win by doing the right things the right way. We win through
  our people. FM 7-0, Training, describes how the Army trains our people to compete, fight, and win, because the
  best fighting forces in the world ensure their small units and individuals are masters of their craft.
  The operational environment has evolved, we must reenergize our training efforts to be able to compete with, and
  if called upon, defeat near-peer adversaries through large-scale combat operations as part of the Joint Force. Our
  training must be highly focused and designed to deliver units that are well trained and confident in their abilities
  to fight and win anywhere, against any enemy.
  Our training will develop trust and confidence in our doctrine, our equipment, our leaders, our teammates, and
  ourselves. Our training programs must generate demonstrated tactical and technical competence, confidence, and
  initiative in our Soldiers and their leaders.
  Commanders are the primary trainers. Commanders set the standard and provide guidance, direction, and purpose.
  They link unit training to winning in competition, crisis, and conflict. Noncommissioned officers enforce these
  standards and provide their commanders with timely, accurate, and candid feedback. They do this through direct
  leadership by linking Soldier and crew training performance to unit collective training. Working together,
  commanders and NCOs ensure that Soldiers, crews, small teams, and units achieve mastery of their craft.
  I expect leaders in all organizations, at every echelon, to know, understand, and apply the concepts in this manual.
  People First, Winning Matters, Army Strong!
