I would start by reading FM 7-22.7, followed by ADP 6-22 and then ADRP  6-22. Then start with ADP 1-0, and work though them in order. ADPs are designed to be ~10 pages of actual information; easily digestible. Pay attention as you read to the table of contents of each ADP, usually I try and glean the concept of each manual (basic principles etc) before, during, and after each ADP. Becoming a Conceptual thinker now will make understanding and interpreting doctrine much easier as you move up.

SGT Sencey,

I would suggest two hours a day. Hit the stuff you know you don't know first.

Think of the ADPs and ADRPs of being similar to "Cliff Notes" like in high school or college.

They're a lot easier to read and understand compared to some FMs. I recently went to the promotion board and prior to going I downloaded the ADPs/ADRPs on my MOI and some that were not and I read them. You want to make sure you not only read the material but also pay attention to the charts (i.e. Institutional/Operational/Self Development Training in ADP 6-22)

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Also, like any other board subject, you should also be understanding and applying these concepts and principles to your Army career and leadership tools.  As the Army is putting more relevance on AAOP, this will be something to know and take to heart rather than something to memorize for the baord and then braindump it after the board.
