Task-organizing is the act of designing a force, support staff, or sustainment package of specific size and composition to meet a unique task or mission (ADP 3-0). Characteristics commanders and staffs examine when task-organizing a military force include, but are not limited to, training, experience, equipage, sustainability, operational environment, enemy threat, and mobility. For Army forces, it includes allocating available assets to subordinate commanders and establishing their command and support relationships. Task-organizing occurs within a previously tailored force package as commanders organize groups of units for specific stability operations. Task organization must be considered when assigning a unit a follow and support mission, which includes execution of stability operations. Task-organizing continues as commanders reorganize units for subsequent missions. The ability of Army forces to task-organize gives them extraordinary agility. It lets operational and tactical commanders configure their units to best use available resources. It also allows Army forces to rapidly match unit capabilities to priorities.
