Which FM serves as a reference for counseling?

FM 6-22, specifically in appendix B, is the reference for counseling within the Army. This field manual provides comprehensive guidance on effective counseling techniques and the importance of counseling in the development of soldiers. It outlines the counseling process, types of counseling, and best practices to ensure that leaders can provide clear, constructive feedback to their subordinates.

Counseling is a critical tool for professional development in the Army, helping to enhance performance and guide soldiers toward achieving their personal and professional goals. FM 6-22 emphasizes the role of counseling in leadership and sets standards for how it should be conducted.

The other options do not focus on counseling specifically. While FM 4-25.11 deals with health and fitness, FM 3-25.26 focuses on map reading and land navigation, and FM 7-22 centers on physical readiness training. Therefore, they lack the specific context and guidance regarding counseling that FM 6-22 appendix B provides.
