Army Doctrine Reference Publication ADRP 3-07 Stability Change 1 February 2013

Throughout U.S. history, the U.S. Army has learned that military force alone cannot secure sustainable peace. U.S. forces can only achieve sustainable peace through a comprehensive approach in which military objectives nest in a larger cooperative effort of the departments and agencies of the U.S. Government, intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, multinational partners, the private sector, and the host nation. Stability tasks outlined in this manual are necessary toward achieving sustained peace. The U.S. Army has devoted most of its effort, over its 237-year history, conducting those tasks. Army Doctrine Reference Publication ADRP 3-07 Stability Change 1 February 2013 contains four chapters: Chapter 1 expands the discussion of the strategic context and emphasizes military operations. It discusses fragile states framework. ADRP 3-07 remains generally consistent with FM 3-07 on the use of the fragile states framework and the stability framework. The chapter also modifies the elements of the strategic approach for stability and renames the discussion as the stability principles. Finally, the chapter renames the Strategy for Stability Operations as End State Conditions for Stability in Operations. Chapter 2 introduces the Army's new operational concept of unified land operations as it applies to stability. It links military and civilian efforts as part of unified action to stabilize the host nation. It updates the discussion of the primary stability tasks to align with ADRP 3-0. Chapter 3 discusses considerations of stability tasks unique to activities and operations. Chapter 4 discusses planning for stability in operations and aligns the discussion with ADRP 3-0 and ADRP 5-0. It elaborates on planning considerations, the commander's role in planning, and operational art in stability in operations. Finally, the chapter expands the discussion on assessments and the District Stability Framework.
