"The tactical commander's guide to command and control in operations" (FT-05 ENG)

Backed up by historical examples, it is first and foremost intended to provide food for thought for our officers, in particular the youngest of them, but also for each and every commander who may one day be called upon to exercise command and control in operations.

This doctrinal manual is part of the ongoing series of ‘Capstone Doctrine' documents of the Army's doctrinal corpus. It is also intended to specify the French approach to operational command in the light of the field manuals and handbooks that our key allies have recently published on the same topic.

"General Tactics" (FT-02 ENG)

The global action of land forces is now carried out within a strategic environment that has dramatically changed for 15 years.

While the risk of a conventional war has faded away, especially with the overwhelming superiority of western technology, warfighting among populations constitutes, now and for te years to come, the general framework of combat. This predominance of the human environment, together with threats that no longer have any physical borders, unavoidably changes the strategic and tactical expectations of military action.

"Winning the Battle, Building Peace"
Land forces in present and future conflicts (FT-01 ENG)

As an armed confrontation of wills, war always causes destruction and suffering, but its face and place in the world have changed.

At the very heart of these operations, they reach their full potential in the resolution of crises that have strayed from inter state conflict to invest the field of confrontation in the very midst of society.
In this new environment, the French Army asserts and implements a double requirement: that of power and the control of force.
