Logistics Operations (FM 4-95) Department of the Army

FM 4-95, "Logistics Operations," is the Army's doctrine for Army logistics operations at the strategic, operational and tactical levels of war. This publication emphasizes logistics tactics and procedures in order to provide all commanders, staffs, and Soldiers an understanding of Army logistics operations. The contents of FM 4-95 are consistent with ADP and ADRP 4-0, "Sustainment," and serve as the doctrinal foundation for all Army logistics operations. FM 4-95 is consistent to the extent possible with joint logistics operations. FM 4-95 details logistics operations, mission command for logistics, and logistics support to theater operations. Field manual (FM) 4-95 provides detailed information on Army logistics operations. It discusses how the logistics element of the sustainment warfighting function facilitates operational success by providing Army forces operational reach, freedom of action, and endurance. FM 4-95 serves as the doctrinal bridge between the overarching principles prescribed in Army doctrine publication (ADP) 4-0 and Army doctrine reference publication (ADRP) 4-0 and the lower level sustainment Army techniques publications (ATP), and Army tactics, techniques, and procedures publications (ATTP).
