DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT

The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a
Complex World, describes how the Army will employ forces in a more complicated operational
environment and, as necessary, against increasingly
capable opponents. It also describes the Army's
contributions to globally integrated operations
and addresses the need for Army forces to provide foundational capabilities for the joint force in
projecting land power. Additionally, it serves as
a guide for force development through the identification of first order capabilities that the future
force must possess to accomplish missions in support of policy goals and objectives.

The Army Leader Development Strategy (ALDS)
provides a strategic road map for the development of the next generation of Army leaders in
the face of an operational environment that is
expected to be complicated and extremely threatening to national interests. Leadership undergirds
every aspect of the Army. In an era of shrinking resources, the Army must depend on educating and
training its leaders to promote courageous and
resourceful analytical thinkers as well as ethical
managers, who can prepare for, and operate in, an
era of austerity.
