This FM is for security force assistance (SFA). It focuses on the brigade combat team (BCT) conducting SFA and advising foreign security forces. The two primary audiences for this manual are leaders in BCTs conducting SFA and Soldiers assigned as advisors. The BCT and higher echelons provide the framework for advisors to function and accomplish the mission, developing foreign security forces and, when appropriate, working by, with, and through foreign security forces to achieve the desired end state of the host nation’s internal defense and development. Thus, Soldiers assigned as advisors are the key element of SFA. It addresses SFA at operational and tactical levels. It expands on fundamental principles for SFA expressed in FM 3-07.
NOTES: FM 3-07.1 Security Force Assistance was superseded by FM 3-22 Army Support to Security Cooperation
