An ADP contains fundamental doctrinal principles and and explain how those principles support national objectives.

An ADRP elaborate on those fundamental policies described in the ADP.

It’s important to understand the relationship between the ADP, ADRP and UTM on ATN.

Both the ADP and ADRP represent the doctrinal foundations of ‘what’ Army training and leader development is. These two documents replace some of the old FMs.

UTM on ATN represents the ‘how-to’ details of those processes.

UTM is written by the same authors of the ADP and ADRP.

In the past few years, the Army has developed several key, web-based tools that are now integral to the training management processes – like the Digital Training Management Processes (DTMS), the Combined Arms Training Strategies (CATS) and the HQ DA Standardized METLs. To ensure that these web-based tools are current and accurately representative of the doctrine – they are updated and improved continuously. That’s why UTM is not doctrine – to remain flexible and adaptable with the tools, but fully representative of the doctrine.
