text: Preface
  FM 3-22 provides doctrine for how the Army supports security cooperation (SC) to include security assistance
  and security force assistance and military engagement. Army forces support SC in many ways, but primarily
  through security force assistance. This manual will address security force assistance in detail while also covering
  the other ways that the Army supports SC.
  FM 3-22 establishes context for Army missions by explaining how security cooperation activities are an integral
  component of multidomain operations, joint operations, and unified action. The principal audience for FM 3-22
  is Army SC professionals within U.S. embassies, theater army planners, and echelons above brigade leaders and
  staffs. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.
  Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S.,
  international, and, in many cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers
  operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement (See FM 6-27).
  FM 3-22 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the
  glossary and the text. Terms for which FM 3-22 is the proponent publication (the authority) are marked with an
  asterisk (*) in the glossary, and the definitions are boldfaced in the text. For other definitions shown in the text,
  the term is italicized, and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition.
  FM 3-22 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and
  the U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
  The proponent of FM 3-22 is the U.S. Army Security Force Assistance Proponent. The preparing agency is the
