The key to all successful military campaigns throughout history is the ability to sustain itself. Sustainment units must be able to operate effectively and survive in expeditionary environments across all contested domains. The ability to sustain ourselves ensures that the Army, with its joint and multi-national partners, has the operational reach, freedom of action, and the endurance to execute campaigns.

FM 4-0, Sustainment Operations, provides a doctrinal approach for our armies, corps, divisions, and brigades to address the challenges of sustaining operations.  It is the cornerstone of all sustainment doctrine, detailing how the Army will provide logistics, financial management, personnel services and health service support to the force during unified land operations. FM 4-0 is applicable across the range of military operations during competition and conflict. FM 4-0 also includes critical planning considerations and examples that illustrate the volume and scope of materiel required to maintain an expeditionary army.

FM 4-0 outlines training considerations to help build leaders and units able to prevail during large-scale combat operations on a multi-domain battlefield.

FM 4-0 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
