30 March 2022 ATP 3-09.24 v Introduction ATP 3-09.24 expands on the foundations and tenets found in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3-19, and Field Manuals 3-0 and 3-09. The publication of ADP 3-0 expands the Army’s operational concept of unified land operations by retaining lessons learned from past combat operations, while also looking to a future where large-scale combat operations against peer threats is a distinct possibility.
