Chapter 5 Conclusion
a. TP 525-8-5 explains why engagement is a necessary addition to the ACF and how Army forces will apply engagement across the range of military operations. In addition, the concept discusses why knowledge, along with an understanding of the behavior of a security forces, governments, and people greatly increase opportunities for the Army to achieve its objectives of prevent, shape, and win. It highlights the importance of achieving interdependence among conventional forces, special operations forces, and unified action partners.
b. Addressing the tasks and systems associated with the engagement warfighting function requires trained and educated future Army leaders, Soldiers, and Army Civilians who can advise and assist, influence, build, and fight alongside indigenous populations in permissive, uncertain, or politically sensitive situations.
c. To operate successfully in the future, combatant commanders will require versatile, and sustainable land forces that display agility and flexibility, are regionally focused, and ready to face a broad range of contingencies. With thoughtful consideration and application, with unified action partners and other warfighting functions, engagement will provide commanders with an important means of attaining U.S. security objectives.

Appendix B
B-1. Introduction
This appendix reflects two levels of required capabilities (RCs). Level 1 RCs are generated from the components of the solution in this concept. The Level 2 RCs are dependencies on the other warfighting functions that reflect the capabilities those other capabilities based assessments (CBAs) must address. The level 2 RCs provided by centers of excellence and other key organizational documents (such as those from Army special operations forces, space, and others) reflect the capabilities a CBA must address for the ideas in those other concepts to succeed.
B-2. ACC required capabilities (RCs)
a. The future Army requires the capability to provide leaders, Soldiers, and organizations grounded in military tactical and technical competencies, skilled in applying the principles of mission command, and capable of employing the mission command system within the operational environment in support of unified land operations.
b. Future Army forces require the capability to synchronize themes, messages, and actions in operations to inform U.S. and global audiences, influence foreign audiences, and affect adversary and enemy decisionmaking within the operational environment to succeed in unified land operations.
c. The future Army requires the capability to achieve special operations and conventional force interdependence through a range of personnel, educational, training, command, and support relationships across all activities and operations within the operational environment to support unified land operations.
d. Future Army forces require the capability to conduct intelligence analysis of requirements and collected information at all echelons down to company level and below using all available data, information, and products in home station and complex environments to assist commanders in understanding the operational environment and decisionmaking in support of unified land operations.
e. Future Army forces require the capability to execute technical and human collection across the doctrinal intelligence disciplines, interagency and nongovernmental organizations as result of the conduct of combined arms, air and ground reconnaissance, surveillance, security, and intelligence operations within the operational environment to support commanders’ situational understanding and decisionmaking in support of unified land operations.
f. Future Army forces require the capability to conduct security force assistance and civil military operations in a multinational environment with partners and among diverse populations to support allies and partners, protect and reassure populations, and isolate and defeat enemies within the operational environment in support of unified action.
g. The future Army requires the capability to provide decentralized sustainment in anti-access and area denial environments to all echelons of conventional and unconventional forces that enables decisive action by leaders at lower echelons to provide commanders with operational adaptability in support of unified land operations.
h. The future Army requires the capability to manage the tasks and systems that provide lethal and nonlethal capabilities, to assess, shape, deter, and influence people, governments, militaries and the operational environment in support of unified action.
i. The future Army requires closer interdependence of special operations and conventional forces focused on engagement, capacity building, and other shaping activities to support unified land operations.
j. Future Army forces require the capability to work through and with host nations, regional partners, and indigenous populations in a culturally attuned manner within the operational environment in support of unified action.
k. Future Army forces require the capability and capacities to engage with partners on a sustained basis to address shared interests and enhance partners’ security, governance, economic development, essential services, rule of law, and other critical functions as part of unified action.
l. Future Army forces require the capability to train and educate leaders, Soldiers, and Army Civilians using a continuous adaptive learning model that develops the initial, functional and professional skills, knowledge and attributes to provide the fundamental technical and tactical competence necessary to conduct decisive action in support of unified land operations.
m. The future Army requires the capability to provide leaders at all echelons who are critical and creative thinkers with highly refined problem solving skills that can process data and information into usable knowledge to develop strategic thinkers in decisive action in support of unified land operations.
n. The future Army requires the capability to train units in a tough realistic environment, adapting training as the mission, threat, or operational environment changes, to provide trained and ready forces capable of conducting missions across the range of military operations in support of unified land operations.
o. The Army requires versatile organizations and units that exhibit operational adaptability, support a wide variety of missions, and adjust focus rapidly to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win the Nation’s wars.
p. The future Army requires increased military and social competence by its leaders and Soldiers, raising physical and cognitive excellence to gain advantage and maximize investments in them within the context of greater efficiency in support of unified land operations.
