Stability
ADP 3-07 is the Army's doctrine for stability operations. It explains the stability operations tasks, how they relate to offense and defense, and how military efforts fit alongside civilian agencies and host-nation institutions. It matters most during consolidation of gains, when the fighting slows and the governing does not.

Operations
ADP 3-0 is the Army's capstone description of how it conducts operations. The March 2025 edition carries multidomain operations as the Army's operational concept and supersedes the July 2019 edition. It sets the vocabulary -- warfighting functions, combat power, the operational framework -- that nearly every other doctrinal publication uses.
