Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 7-0, Training Units and Developing Leaders, establishes the Army’s doctrine for training units and developing leaders for unified land operations. ADP 7-0 presents overarching doctrinal guidance for training modular, expeditionary Army forces and developing leaders to conduct unified land operations. Conducting effective training in units and leader development must be top priorities of senior leaders during ARFORGEN and during deployments. The principal audience for ADP 7-0 is all leaders at all organizational levels. All leaders are trainers. Leaders include officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and those Army civilians in leadership positions. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some 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 Field Manual [FM] 27-10.) ADP 7-0 uses joint terms where applicable. Terms for which ADP 7-0 is the proponent (the authority) are indicated with an asterisk in the glossary. Definitions for which ADP 7-0 is the proponent are printed in boldface in the text. For other doctrinal terms defined in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition. ADP 7-0 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated. The proponent of ADP 7-0 is the United States Combined Arms Center. The preparing agencies are the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate (CADD) and the Training Management Directorate (TMD) within the Combined Arms Center for Training (CAC-T). Both CADD and CAC-T are subordinate to the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center.
