Field Manual (FM) 3-27, Army Global Missile Defense Operations provides an overview of global missile defense (MD) operations affecting one or more combatant command’s (CCMD) area of responsibility (AOR). MD assets require synchronization to successfully defeat an attack. This publication provides doctrinal tenants and procedures for planning, preparing, executing, and assessing global MD operations.

Introduction

FM 3-27 reaffirms global MD operations as paramount to the security of the U.S. and its allies. The term global MD, as used throughout this document, implies defense against ballistic missile only.  FM 3-27 is the principle publication for describing the Army’s role and mission in global MD of the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, friends, and allies from ballistic missile attack.
