The Force Management Orientation Course (FMOC) is designed for individuals who have little or no experience in DoD force management. It is designed to provide basic concepts, techniques, and procedures using hands on training with the tools and techniques necessary to apply principles of Force Management. The curriculum introduces students to the skills required to analyze, validate, and standardize Army Force structure. In addition, the student learns how to assess the relevance of Army organizations to the Operating Force through the Total Army Analysis process. Course discussions underscore the dynamics of current force structure initiatives, both in the Operating and Generating Forces and their impact to Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and Direct Reporting Units. This course teaches current FM policies, procedures, processes and systems, and prepares students to assist in the management of organizations. Upon completion of the course, they will be able to assist mid-level management positions within any functional area of force management. The instructional focus is upon how Force Management is integrated within the S- staff or within the G-staff at command levels.
