1. SCOPE: Analyze Unified Land Operations (ULO) is a 4-hour lesson that explores the Army’s operational concept. This lesson examines the current doctrine of ULO which “describes how the Army seizes, retains, and exploits the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and stability operations in order to prevent or deter conflict, prevail in war, and create the conditions for favorable conflict resolution.”
Students will reach the following lesson outcomes by actively participating in class and completing the practical exercise:
· Establish a prerequisite understanding of ULO that provides context and raise the student’s entry-level knowledge for the Human Resources (HR) Staff Exercise (STAFFEX)
· Enabled to logically defend or challenge the doctrinal concepts found in ADP 3-0, Unified Land Operations.
