Initiative - answer Operational initiative is setting or dictating the terms of action throughout an operation. Individual initiative is the willingness to act in the absence of orders, when existing orders no longer fit the situation, or when unforeseen opportunities or threats arise.
Decisive action - answer. Decisive action—the continuous, simultaneous combinations of offensive, defensive, and stability or defense support of civil authorities tasks.
Decisive action tasks - answer. An offensive task is a task conducted to defeat and destroy enemy forces and seize terrain, resources, and population centers. ii. A defensive task is a task conducted to defeat an enemy attack, gain time, economize
forces, and develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability tasks. iii. Stability is an overarching term encompassing various military missions, tasks, and activities conducted outside the United States in coordination with other instruments of national power to maintain or reestablish a safe and secure environment, provide essential governmental services, emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and humanitarian relief. iv. Defense support of civil authorities is support provided by U.S. Federal military forces, Department of Defense civilians, Department of Defense contract personnel, Department of Defense component assets, and National Guard forces.
Army core competencies - answer. Combined arms maneuver is the application of the elements of combat power in unified action to defeat enemy ground forces; to seize, occupy, and defend land areas; and to achieve physical, temporal, and psychological advantages over the enemy to seize and exploit the initiative. b. Wide area security is the application of the elements of combat power in unified action to protect populations, forces, infrastructure, and activities; to deny the enemy positions of advantage; and to consolidate gains in order to retain the initiative

IPB - answer Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) is the systematic process of analyzing the mission variables of enemy, terrain, weather, and civil considerations in
an area of interest to determine their effect on operations.
Steps of IPB - answered- Define the operational environment
a. Defining the operational environment results in the identification of significant characteristics of the operational environment that can affect friendly and enemy operations. This step also results in the identification of gaps in current intelligence holdings. D- Describe environmental effects on operations
a. Describes how characteristics related to enemy, terrain, weather, and civil considerations affect friendly ops
E- Evaluate the threat
a. Understand how a threat/adversary can affect friendly operations. D- Determine threat
a. Identifies and develops possible threat/adversary COAs that can affect accomplishing
the friendly mission.
The mission statement - answer The mission is the task, together with the purpose, that clearly indicates the action to be taken and the reason therefore.
Decisive point - answer 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 achieving success.
Offensive tasks - answer- Movement to contact
A- Attack
E- Exploitation
P- Pursuit
Movement to contact - answer An offensive task designed to develop the situation and to establish or regain contact. The goal is to make initial contact with a small element while retaining enough combat power to develop the situation and mitigate the associated risk. The commander conducts a movement to contact when the enemy situation is vague or
not specific enough to conduct an attack.
Attack - answer An offensive task that destroys or defeats enemy forces, seizes and secures terrain, or both.
An attack differs from a movement to contact because, in an attack, the commander knows part of the enemy's disposition. This knowledge enables the commander to better synchronize and employ combat power more effectively in an attack than in a movement to contact.
Exploitation - answer An offensive task that usually follows the conduct of a successful attack and is designed to disorganize the enemy in depth. Exploitations seek to disintegrate enemy forces to the point where they have no alternative but to surrender or take flight. Pursuit - answer An offensive task designed to catch or cut off a hostile force attempting
to escape, with the aim of destroying it. A pursuit normally follows a successful exploitation. However, any offensive task can transition into a pursuit, if enemy resistance has broken down and the enemy is fleeing the battlefield.
Defensive tasks - answer- Area defense
M- Mobile defense
R- Retrograde
Area defense - answer The area defense is a defensive task that concentrates on denying enemy forces access to designated terrain for a specific time rather than destroying the enemy outright.
The focus of the area defense is on retaining terrain where the bulk of the defending force positions itself in mutually supporting, prepared positions. Units maintain their positions and control the terrain between these positions.
Mobile defense - answer The mobile defense is a defensive task that concentrates on the destruction or defeat of the enemy through a decisive attack by a striking force.
The mobile defense focuses on defeating or destroying the enemy by allowing enemy forces to advance to a point where they are exposed to a decisive counterattack by the striking force. The striking force is a dedicated counterattack force in a mobile defense constituted with the bulk of available combat power.
A fixing force supplements the striking force. The commander uses the fixing force to hold attacking enemy forces in position, to help channel attacking enemy forces into ambush areas, and to retain areas from which to launch the striking force.
Retrograde - answer The retrograde is a defensive task that involves organized movement away from the enemy. The retrograde is a transitional operation; it is not conducted in isolation. It is part of a larger scheme of maneuver designed to regain the initiative and defeat the enemy.
Three forms of the retrograde - answered- Delay
W- Withdrawal
R- Retirement
Delay - answerA delaying operation is an operation in which a force under pressure trades space for time by slowing down the enemy's momentum and inflicting maximum damage on the enemy without, in principle, becoming decisively engaged.
