  3-111. The primary objective of a strike is the enemy’s will and ability to
  fight. The OPFOR recognizes that modern militaries cannot rapidly reconsti-
  tute entire combat formations and that significant destruction is both capa-
  ble of removing all momentum possessed by a combat formation and elimi-
  nating support at home for continued combat operations.
  3-112. Strikes are characterized by
  • Being focused on the complete destruction of a particular enemy for-
  mation.
  • Typically following a period of reconnaissance fire (see Chapter 7).
  • Requiring effective and integrated C2 and RISTA means.
  • The use of complex terrain to force the enemy to fight at a dis-
  advantage.
  • Significant reliance on deception and other IW measures.
