Q

tenents of expeditionary maneuver warfare

A
  • focuses decisionmaking and effects on an operational objective
  • maximizes maneuver battlespace (air, land, sea) through enhanced mobility
  • generates overwhelming tempo and momentum through enhanced strategic agility, operational reach, and tactical flexibility
  • pits strengths against enemy weakness
  • emphasizes intelligence, deception, flexibility, and sustainment
  • promotes integration of organic/joint/interagency/combined efforts
  • provides a joint/combined enabler and force multiplier
  • capable across the entire spectrum of conflict

Q

what does sea basing facilitate

A

sea-basing facilitates maneuver warfare by eliminating the requirement for an operational pause as the loanding force builds combat powr ashore and by freeing the MAFTF from the constrains of a traidtional beachhead or coalition partners

criteria for an encircled force to break out

A
  • doeesn’t have sufficient relative combat power to defend itself against the enemy

the enemy may surprise

85
Q

purpose of reconaissance operations

Q

battlespace area

A

area of interest

104
Q

area of itnerest

A

battlespace area that has friendly/enemy forces, capabilities, infrastrcuture, terrain that concerns the CDR
- can also include areas outseide and normaly exceeds the CDR’s operational reach

105
Q

area of influence

A

CDR can affect via actions with his troops like fires/mneuver
= limited by physical limits of the organic systems like fire support, aviation, mobility, reconaissance

106
Q

factors that change the area of operation

A

= incorporating geoplitical constraints
- accomplishing objectives
- assuming new mission/task
- shifting to a new phase of operation
