  Figure 4-7. Area Defense (Example 2)
  4-113. The area defense does not surrender the initiative to the attacking
  forces, but takes action to create windows of opportunity that permit forces to
  conduct small-scale offensive actions to attack key components of the enemy
  combat system and cause unacceptable casualties. Area defense can set the
  conditions for destroying a key enemy force in a strike. Extended windows of
  opportunity permit the action of maneuver forces and facilitate transition to a
  larger offensive action. IW is particularly important to the execution of the
  area defense in adaptive and transition operations. Deception is critical to the
  creation of complex battle positions, and effective perception management is
  vital to the creation of the windows of opportunity needed to execute ma-
  neuver and fires.
