Field Manual (FM) 3-37 provides doctrinal guidance for commanders
and staffs who are responsible for planning and executing
protection in support of full spectrum operations. It describes
protection as both an element of combat power and as a warfighting
function. FM 3-37 corresponds with Army operations doctrine
introduced in the FM 3-0 capstone manual. As the Army keystone
manual for protection, FM 3-37 will help commanders understand and
visualize protection concepts and ideas and enable them to describe
protection tasks and systems for integration into the operations
process. FM 3-37 expands on the protection and combined arms
terminology outlined in FM 3-0. It explains how protection can be
achieved and applied through the combination and integration of
reinforcement and complementary capabilities to preserve combat
power or to protect personnel, physical assets, or information.
This manual recognizes that protection has no direct antecedent
from the former battlefield operating systems, so protection is
realized in many ways. Therefore, the text introduces the five
forms and five principles of protection to provide a context for
battle command and a framework for task assignment: Forms of
protection: Deterrence; Prevention; Active security; Passive
defense; Mitigation. Principles of protection: Full-dimension;
Integrated; Layered; Redundant; Enduring.
