The Field Manual 3-07 on Stability Operations emphasizes the importance of a whole-of-government approach for success in times of conflict. It is the first doctrine to address the needs of forces already in action and has undergone a comprehensive review involving various agencies. This manual fills a critical gap in knowledge as we face a changing world shaped by globalization, regional powers, and environmental challenges. Future conflicts will be among populations, where success will depend on winning trust and support. The manual draws on America's history of success in stability operations to provide guidance for dealing with uncertainty and friction in modern conflicts.
