More DescriptionThis is the third revised edition of The Battle Staff SMARTbook, incorporating the 2010 edition of FM 5-0, The Operations Process. In addition to the introduction of design, the 2010 revision of FM 5-0 builds on and expands the body of doctrine associated with full spectrum operations described in the 2008 edition of FM 3-0, Operations. Moving beyond planning and orders production, FM 5-0 holistically
addresses planning, preparation, execution, and assessment in the continuous learning cycle of the operations process.
The operations process consists of the major command and control activities performed during operations: planning, preparing, executing, and continuously assessing the operation. While simple in concept, the operations process is dynamic in execution. At the center of the operations process is battle command ¿ the art and science of understanding, visualizing, describing, directing, leading, and assessing forces to accomplish missions.
