Which ADP covers Mission Command?

• A. ADP 5-0
• B. ADP 6-0
• C. ADP 2-0
• D. ADP 6-22

Answer: (B)

Mission Command is the Army approach to command and control that relies on trust, shared understanding, and clear intent so subordinates can make decisions and act with initiative. ADP 6-0 is the doctrine that lays out Mission Command—how authority is decentralized, how the commander’s intent guides actions, and how mission orders enable rapid, adaptive action in uncertain environments. It emphasizes the core ideas of a clear commander’s intent, mutual trust, shared understanding, and disciplined initiative within that intent. The other publications address related topics: ADP 5-0 covers the Operations Process (planning, executing, assessing); ADP 2-0 covers intelligence; ADP 6-22 covers Army leadership and the profession.
