Which reference covers Mission Command?

• A. FM 7-22
• B. ADRP 1
• C. ADP/ADRP 6-0
• D. TC 3-25.26

Answer: (C)

Mission Command is the Army’s approach to leadership and decision-making that empowers subordinates within the confines of the commander's intent. The best reference for this topic is ADP/ADRP 6-0, which together define the concept and its application. ADP 6-0 introduces the principles of Mission Command and how leaders balance guidance with initiative, while ADRP 6-0 provides detailed explanations, examples, and guidance on implementing it in practice. The other references cover unrelated areas—one is about physical readiness, another about the Army as a profession, and another about map reading—so they don’t address Mission Command.
