Army Doctrine Publication ADP 6-22 Army Leadership August 2012

Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 6-22, Army Leadership, establishes the Army leadership principles that apply to officers, noncommissioned officers and enlisted Soldiers as well as Army Civilians. The principal audience for ADP 6-22 is all leaders, military and civilian. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable United States, international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. (See Field Manual [FM] 27-10.) ADP 6-22 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and text. Terms for which ADP 6-22 is the proponent publication have an asterisk in the glossary. Definitions for which ADP 6-22 is the proponent publication are in boldfaced text. For other definitions in the text, the term is italicized and the proponent manual number follows the definition. The use of the term influence throughout this publication reflects the definition of common English usage “the act or power of producing an effect without apparent exertion of force or direct exercise of command,” as distinct from the usage outlined in FM 3-13. It is contrary to law for DOD to undertake operations intended to influence a domestic audience; nothing in this publication recommends activities in contravention of this law. ADP 6-22 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, United States Army Reserve, and Army Civilian workforce unless otherwise stated. Readers should refer to Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 6-22, Army Leadership, for detailed explanations of the Army leadership principles.
