What's inside:

At some point in the future, the US Army maybe called upon to go to war. The Army must be prepared to win that war. The cornerstone of preparedness is training.

Mobilization is bringing the total Army force to a state of readiness for war or for other national emergencies. Mobilization considerations are an inseparable part of peacetime (premobilization) training. Training is the key to combat readiness. Mobilization planning is based on the concept that Active Component (AC) units maintain overseas commitments, respond to contingencies at short notice, and provide initial surge units until the Reserve Component (RC) units can be mobilized and deployed. Peacetime planning involves training to improve proficiency in mission-essential individual and collective tasks to maintain high combat readiness.

This manual is intended for use by commanders and staffs within the training bases, major Army commands (MACOMs), and units. It provides guidance regarding training doctrine for all elements of the Army upon mobilization and war. This manual outlines the mobilization process, the training requirements for the total Army force facing mobilization, the institutional and unit training, and the training support that will be available.

This manual is one in a series of training manuals that includes FM 25-1, FM 25-2, FM 25-3, and FM 25-4. FM 25-1 provides the overall training concept for the US Army. It is written for leaders in the unit, in the training base, and in the agencies that develop training support materials. FM 25-2 provides commanders with a management process to plan training, to acquire needed resources, and to evaluate soldier and unit proficiency, training, and training management. FM 25-3 provides unit leaders, especially noncommissioned officers (NCOs) and company-level officers, with an effective method for planning and conducting training. FM 25-4 describes how to plan, conduct, and control training exercises.
