Preface
Army techniques publication (ATP) 5-0.1, Army Design Methodology (ADM) is part of a continuing effort
focused on improving the critical and creative thinking abilities of leaders and teams to understand and solve
problems. This publication describes ADM in the context of the operations process and offers techniques for
forming and leading teams for group problem solving. It describes the major activities of ADM and provides
techniques for framing operational environments, framing problems, developing an operational approach, and
reframing.
To comprehend the doctrine contained in this publication, readers must first understand the fundamentals of the
operations process described in Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 5-0, The Operations Process. In
addition, readers must understand the fundamentals of mission command described in ADRP 6-0, Mission
Command and the fundamentals of leadership found in ADRP 6-22, Leadership. Readers must also have a solid
foundation in various processes and procedures of mission command addressed in Field Manual (FM) 6-0,
Commander and Staff Organization and Operations.
ADM takes an interdisciplinary approach to planning and problem solving incorporating ideas associated to
critical and creative thinking, leadership, decisionmaking, and organizational learning. The professional field of
books and articles on these disciplines is vast and rich. Readers are encouraged to continue their study on these
topics beyond the material offered in this ATP.
The principal audience for this publication is Army commanders and staffs. Commanders and staffs of Army
headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should refer to applicable joint or
multinational doctrine concerning joint or multinational planning. Trainers and educators throughout the Army
will also use this publication as a guide for instructing ADM.
Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S.,
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 FM 27-10.)
ATP 5-0.1 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the
glossary and the text, the term is italicized, and the number of the proponent publication follows the definition.
ATP 5-0.1 is not the proponent publication (the authority) for any terms.
ATP 5-0.1 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and
the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.
The proponent of ATP 5-0.1 is Headquarters, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. The preparing agency
