TBS PHASE 3 CORRECT FINALS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Mass - ✔✔Concentrate combat power at the decisive place and time
✔✔Objective - ✔✔Direct every operation towards a clearly defined, decisive, and
attainable objective
✔✔Offensive - ✔✔Seize, retain, and exploit the initiative
✔✔Suprise - ✔✔Strike the enemy at a time, at a place, or in a manner for which he is
unprepared
✔✔Economy of force - ✔✔Allocate minimum essential combat power to secondary
efforts
✔✔Maneuver - ✔✔Place the enemy in a position of disadvantage through the flexible
application of combat power
✔✔Unity of Command - ✔✔For every objective, ensure unity of effort under one
responsible Commander
✔✔security - ✔✔Never permit the enemy to acquire an unexpected advantage
✔✔Simplicity - ✔✔Prepare clear, uncomplicated plans and clear, concise orders to
ensure thorough understanding
✔✔Mobility - ✔✔is a quality or capacity of military forces which permits them to move
from place to place while retaining their primary mission. Mobility support assists forces
to move rapidly, mass, disperse, and be resupplied
✔✔Battlefield Engineering Functions - ✔✔• Mobility
• Counter-Mobility
, • Survivability
• General engineering
✔✔Counter-mobility - ✔✔is to delay, channel, or stop movement by the enemy in order
to destroy its forces directly or indirectly by enhancing the effectiveness of friendly
weapon systems.
✔✔Survivability - ✔✔A key component of the defense, survivability includes all aspects
of protecting personnel, weapons, and supplies. The objective is to reduce exposure to
threat acquisition, targeting and engagement, and the effects of weather and thereby
contribute to a successful defense.
✔✔General Engineering - ✔✔encompasses those tasks that establish and maintain the
infrastructure required to conduct and sustain military operations.
✔✔principals of obstacle employment - ✔✔-Covered by Fire
-Observed
-Concealed and employed for surprise
-Employed in depth
-Protected by early warning and anti-handling devices
-Integrated with existing or other obstacles
-Non-Geometric
✔✔Offensive Categories of Fires - ✔✔Preparatory Fires
Fires in support of conduct
Fires in support of consolidation
✔✔SOSRA is the acronym for breaching fundamentals, which are to: - ✔✔Suppress:
keep enemy heads down
Obscure: make the obstacle reduction difficult to see
Secure: secure the breaching sight to prevent enemy interference
Reduce: create lanes to cross obstacles
Assault: assault the objective
✔✔The primary role of engineers in defensive operations is to: - ✔✔Impede the mobility
of the enemy.
Field fortification.
Provide general engineering tasks to amplify sustainability of supported unit.
✔✔Existing obstacles - ✔✔natural and cultural obstacles.
✔✔Reinforcing Obstacles - ✔✔obstacles are those obstacles placed on the battlefield
through military effort, which are designed to extend or improve the effectiveness of
existing obstacles.
