| Publisher Description: This manual establishes the doctrinal framework for the Army prepositioned stocks (APS) program. It describesthe missions, duties, and responsibilities of all parties involved in moving APS to an operational area andhanding it off to designated Army units. This manual supersedes Field Manual (FM) 100-17-1 and FM 100-17-2.The changing world environment has led to significant changes in how the Army structures its forces. No singlesolution will succeed when confronting an adaptive adversary. The Army must retain a wide range ofcapabilities while significantly improving its agility and versatility. Building a joint and expeditionary Armywill require versatile forces that can execute smaller, shorter duration operations without degrading itstraditional role in a major combat operation.At the core of this philosophy is having the ability to rapidly project predominately continental United States(CONUS)-based forces to an area of operations (AO), requiring the involvement of numerous military Services, agencies, departments, and organizations. Its credibility depends on the capability to deploy, in a timelymanner, an appropriate military force capable of accomplishing the mission |
