Sustainment Operations

FM 4-0 is the Army's manual for planning and executing sustainment operations at echelon. It carries the detail behind ADP 4-0: how sustainment units are organized, how support is planned, and how the force is sustained through large-scale combat. The March 2026 edition is one of the newest publications in the Army's doctrine library.

What to take from it

  • Details how sustainment is planned and executed across the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.
  • Covers sustainment support to large-scale combat operations, including support area operations.
  • Explains the roles of theater sustainment commands, expeditionary sustainment commands, and sustainment brigades.
  • Published March 2026; expect subordinate ATPs to be updated behind it.
