Q

What is the definition of imperatives in relation to the fundamentals of operations?

Study These Flashcards
A

Actions that Army forces must take to defeat peer enemy forces and succeed in military defensive operations

24
Q

What is the definition of tenants in relation to the fundamentals of operations?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Desirable attributes that should be built into all plans and operations.
  • The degree to which an operation exhibits tenets provides insight into the probability of success.
25
What are the four tenets of operations?
ACED 1. Agility 2. Convergence 3. Endurance 4. Depth
26
Define the following tenant of operation: Agility
The ability to move forces and adjust their disposition more rapidly than the enemy. Precondition for Army forces’ ability to seize, retain and exploit the initiative
27
Define the following tenant of operation: Convergence
Concerted employment of capabilities from multiple domains against combinations of decisive points
28
Define the following tenant of operation: Endurance
The ability to persevere over time and throughout the depth of the OE
29
Define the following tenant of operation: Depth
Degree to which the force can extend operations in time, space, or purpose to achieve definitive results. Must account for all domains.
30
What is the definition of operational approach?
Broad description of the mission, operational concepts, tasks, and actions required to accomplish the mission. Commanders conceptualize, and operational approach to attain the end state
31
What is the definition of operational framework?
Tool used to assist commanders/staff in visualizing the application of combat power in time, space, purpose, and resources
32
What are the three components of the operational framework?
1. An assigned area (area of operations, zone, or sector) 2. Deep, close, and rear operations 3. Main effort, supporting effort, and reserve
33
Define deep, close, and rear operations
- Deep: shape the future fight (long range fires, recon) - Close: combat - Rear: logistics, C2, support elements
34
Describe the deep-close-rear-support framework for a division in relation to a Corps
The divisions deep, close, and rear areas are nested in the corps close area. The is the same for each subordinate unit/higher relationship
35
Define Large Scale Combat operations (LSCO)
Joint combat operations that are large scale in terms of scope and size of forces committed, conducted as a campaign aimed at achieving operational and strategic objectives.
36
What 5 domains compose an operational environment?

39
What is the definition of a domain?
A physically defined portion of an operational environment requiring a unique set of warfighting skills
40
What are the two ways that army leaders can employ capabilities from each domain?
Complementary and reinforcing
41
How do army forces use each dimension?
Army forces: - operate through the physical dimension - influence through the information dimension, and - produce victory in the human dimension.
42
Define the human dimension
Interactions between individuals and groups, and how they make decisions within an operational environment
43
Define the information dimension
Data that individual/groups exchange, and the technical processes used to exchange information in an operational environment
44

1. Synchronize 2. Conduct intelligence operations 3. Perform PED (processing, exploitation, and development) 4. Analyze 5. Assess
49
How do the elements of the operations process align with each intel process and continuing activity? Intel Process: - Plan and direct - Collect and process - Produce - disseminate and integrate Continuing Activities: - synchronize - conduct intelligence operations - Perform PED - Analyze - Assess
Intel Process: - Plan and direct (plan) - Collect and process (execute) - Produce (execute) - disseminate and integrate (execute) Continuing Activities: - synchronize (plan) - conduct intelligence operations (execute) - Perform PED (execute) - Analyze (execute) - Assess (assess)
