FM 4-0 Sustainment Operations – 2024 – Mini size

FM 4-0, Sustainment Operations augments ADP 4-0, the Army’s principal doctrine on providing sustainment in support of operations. It describes how Army sustainment forces, as part of the joint team, provide support to Army and other forces with an emphasis on support to operations. This manual serves as a companion manual to FM 3-0. FM 4-0 describes how the Army as part of a joint team is sustained during operations.

FM 4-0 describes sustainment operations in support of the Army’s operational concept and how the Army supports the joint force in the execution of campaigns. It is the Army’s doctrine for sustainment operations across the competition continuum at the theater strategic, operational, and tactical levels of warfare. This publication emphasizes sustainment fundamentals and tactics to provide all commanders, staffs, and Soldiers an understanding of sustainment operations. The contents of FM 4-0 are consistent with the principal sustainment doctrine contained in ADP 4-0 and serve as the doctrinal foundation for all Army sustainment operations.

FM 4-0 describes how the Army and its organizations conduct sustainment operations and is the keystone Army doctrine.
