, -Developing and executing the survivability plan, deceive enemy by concealing
strengths and weaknesses
Preparation - ✔✔Maximize the inherent strengths of the defense (arrival to the AO first,
defensible terrain, integration of natural and reinforcing obstacles, rehearsal of actions,
etc).
-Emplace tactical obstacles to produce specific effects on the enemy
-Construct survivability positions to allow maneuver units to sustain fight and protect
MC nodes
Disruption - ✔✔Commanders use _____________ to prevent the enemy from massing
combat power and unhinge enemy preparations and attacks.
-Ensures that combat engineering (M/CM/S) functions are integrated into disruption
activities; leverage the capabilities of geospatial engineering to optimize their effects.
-Tactical obstacles are designed and emplaced to disrupt enemy formations and cause
the enemy to move into desired EAs
Flexibility - ✔✔Commanders focus planning on preparations in depth, use of reserves,
and the ability to shift the main effort.
-Using situational obstacles
-Task-organizing for rapid transition to the offense
