Which doctrine publication governs AMD operations?

• A. FM 3-01
• B. FM 3-02
• C. FM 3-03
• D. FM 3-04

Answer: (A)

In AMD planning and execution, the authoritative doctrine is FM 3-01, Air Defense Operations. This publication lays out how air and missile defense is organized, commanded, and integrated across units—defining roles, control relationships, and the flow of information between sensors and shooters. It also covers how AMD teams coordinate with airspace management and other fires to create cohesive defense plans and engagements. Because FM 3-01 specifically addresses Air Defense Operations, it is the governing reference for AMD. The other manuals focus on different areas of operations and do not provide the AMD-specific doctrine.
