text: Operations During Armed Conflict
  6-128. Enemy operations depend on sustainment systems in the same way friendly operations do.
  Destroying or disrupting supply depots, logistics convoys, fuel facilities, and sustainment units can render
  the enemy formations they sustain incapable of achieving their intended objectives. Even limited attacks on
  enemy sustainment capabilities can delay their operations, degrade their combat power, and make them
  vulnerable to early culmination.
  Tactical-Level Disintegration
  6-129. Senior tactical echelons disintegrate enemy forces by attacking vulnerabilities that make them less
  able to employ a combined-arms approach to operations. Disrupting enemy communications with
  electromagnetic attacks or physical attacks against C2 nodes are means of doing this. Commanders use
  deception to create uncertainty and slow enemy decisions. They conduct reconnaissance and security
  operations and maintain operations security to prevent enemy forces from developing an accurate picture of
  friendly dispositions and courses of action.
  6-130. Army forces employ forms of maneuver that avoid the enemy force’s main effort and enable friendly
  forces to decisively engage enemy forces without becoming fixed targets for long-range fires. Seeking or
  creating assailable flanks creates opportunities for exploitation in depth, forcing enemy forces to fight from
  unfavorable terrain or in directions they did not anticipate. Penetrations, envelopments, and turning
  movements are forms of maneuver well suited for doing this. Because enemy forces can anticipate the most
  favorable friendly forms of maneuver, their preparations focus on denying them. Therefore, friendly courses
  of action require sufficient combat power employed with a combination of stealth, speed, deception, and risk
  acceptance to be successful.
  6-131. Disrupt, degrade, neutralize, reduce, isolate, delay, suppress, deny, fix, bypass, and deceive are
  examples of common tasks and effects that leaders combine to disintegrate enemy tactical echelons. Leaders
  use these tasks to limit enemy freedom of maneuver, impose friction on enemy operations, and disrupt enemy
  synchronization.
  6-132. A combined-arms approach helps retain sufficient combat power and the mobility necessary to
  exploit the opportunities disintegration provides. The 1973 Arab-Israeli War illustrates the importance of a
  combined-arms approach to achieving disintegration.
