A geographic place, specific key event, critical factor, or function
that, when acted upon, allows commanders to gain a marked
advantage over an adversary or contribute materially to achiev-
ing success.
6. Offensive Tasks 1. Movement to Contact (develop the situation and to
establish or regain contact)
2. Attack (destroys or defeats enemy forces, seizes and secures
terrain, or both)
3. Exploitation (usually follows a successful attack and is
designed to disorganize the enemy in depth)
4. Pursuit (catch or cut off a hostile force attempting
to escape, with the aim of destroying it)
7. Defensive Tasks 1. Area defense (denying enemy forces
access to designated terrain for a specific time rather than
destroying the enemy outright)
2. Mobile defense (destruction or defeat
of the enemy through a decisive attack by a striking force)
3. Retrograde (organized movement away from the
enemy. Delay, withdrawal, withdrawal under pressure, retire-
ment)
8. Characteristics of the Offense Surprise
Concentration
Audacity
Tempo
9. Characteristics of the Defense Disruption
Flexibility
