MilestonesThe outputs from the FM 3-24 Revision Conference will heavily determine the initial draft of the revised manual. In July this initial draft will be further revised by the writing team in concert with a FORSCOM Red Cell. After this revision the initial draft will go out for service-wide staffing in July. Comments from this initial staffing will be adjudicated in August; culminating in a final draft for staffing in October. Final draft comments will be adjudicated in December. A final approved draft is expected to be available for signature in March 2013. PurposeRevision of FM 3-24 will be collaborative with input from the counterinsurgency community of interest. It will incorporate lessons learned since the publication of FM 3-24 in 2006. It will include enduring tactics and procedures that must be codified in doctrine and will apply to insurgences globally. FM 3-24 Revision Conference is the final opportunity for the Counterinsurgency Center to engage the community of interest in real time dialogue and debate of doctrinal inputs and lessons from OIF/OEF, and to resolve issues prior to staffing the initial draft. Conference Structurea. The FM 3-24 Revision Conference will bring individuals from the counterinsurgency community of interest together to provide input into a revised FM 3-24. This conference will not only focus on the chapters of the draft FM, but will also explore major issues that have arisen out of the current FM in light of lessons learned from OIF/OEF. The symposium is scheduled for Marshall Hall, Lewis & Clark Center, and McHugh Training Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Tuesday through Friday, 8-11 May 2012.
