- [7] As of Allied Joint Doctrine AJP-01, doctrine is defined as “fundamental principles by which military forces guide their actions in support of objectives. It is authoritative, but requires judgment in application”. The principal purpose of doctrine is to provide the framework of guidance for the conduct of operations, and is about how those operations should be directed. If the doctrine describes how a force operates, the policy comes to explain why they do what they do. A doctrine is meant to be dynamic and constantly reviewed for relevance.
