Part of our value-added professional format series, the Army Air and Missile Defense Operations Field Manual (FM 44-100) covers the air defense artillery function. This FM has been converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction.

In the preface, it states: "FM 44-100 is the Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) capstone doctrinal manual for the air defense combat function. It explains the Army ADA contributions to joint and multinational counterair and theater missile defense operations. It also addresses the range of offensive and defensive actions to counter the air threat. This manual provides the doctrinal basis for integrating the air defense combat function into the planning and conduct of strategic, operational, and tactical levels of operations. FM 44-100 provides doctrinal guidance for ADA commanders, trainers, and leaders at all levels and is the basis for Army ADA service school development. This manual also provides the doctrinal basis for the implementation of air and missile defense measures in all Army units."

Some highlights of the contents:

"AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE IN THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL BATTLE - This field manual provides the doctrinal foundation for Army air and missile defense operations in joint and multinational operations. Air defense is one of the seven combat functions, which include intelligence, maneuver, fire support, mobility and survivability, combat service support, and command and control. Air and missile defense forces provide protection from enemy air and missile attack. They prevent the enemy from separating friendly forces while freeing the commander to fully synchronize maneuver and firepower. The air defense combat function contributes to joint theater counterair operations and to joint theater missile defense. Theater counterair operations protect the force and critical assets from attack by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Theater missile defense protects the force and critical assets from attack by theater missiles, which include ballistic missiles, cruise missiles (CMs), and air-to-surface missiles (ASM). Air and missile defense includes both offensive and defensive actions. The airspace of a theater is as important a dimension of joint operations as the terrain. Friendly forces use airspace for critical purposes including maneuver, delivery of fires, reconnaissance and surveillance, transportation, and battle command. Effective control and use of airspace directly influence the outcome of campaigns and battles. Commanders consider airspace and the apportionment of air power in planning and supporting their operations. They expect the enemy to contest their use of the airspace and must protect their forces from enemy observation and attack."

This manual is produced by the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery School at Fort Bliss.

As a bonus, this reproduction includes FM-1, The Army Field Manual, a capstone manual containing the vision for the Army - sold separately for $5.99. FM 1 establishes the fundamental principles for employing Landpower. The most important of these are the Army's operational concept and the fundamentals that support it. They form the foundation for all Army doctrine. All Soldiers should understand and internalize them. FM 1 describes the American profession of arms, the Army's place in it, and what it means to be a professional Soldier.
