Read the full document: FT-03 - Employment of Land Forces in Joint Operations
FT-03 is the fundamental document of French Army doctrine, at the crossroads between recent documents (2013 White Paper, the Concept for Military Operations, the Doctrine on the Employment of Armed Forces) and the entire doctrinal corpus of land forces necessary for developing combined arms maneuver. It outlines the action of land forces in a most often multinational and interagency joint operational environment.
