  leaders plan their schemes of maneuver based on the maneuver force scheme of maneuver and designated
  priorities. Unit SOPs and battle drills, combined with rapid, aggressive execution, aid in mission
  accomplishment.
  The deliberate attack requires more time for detailed IPB and detailed preplanned positions throughout
  the entire zone. For a deliberate attack, SHORAD coverage must be extensive and well-coordinated. This
  requires a thorough IPB analysis that includes–
  * Ground and air avenues of approach.
  * Aerial attack profiles.
  * Probable enemy aviation attack locations.
  * Aerial surveillance positions and routes.
  From the IPB, the SHORAD platoon leaders develop and use system-specific graphic control measures
  and those directed by the supported unit to control M-SHORAD, Avenger, and any Stinger team movements.
  All movements are conducted to support the supported unit's scheme of maneuver. During an attack, M-
  SHORAD systems are normally positioned to support the main effort. Avengers are positioned to protect
  maneuver support, C2, and fire support assets. The M-SHORAD or Avenger platoon leader must, however,
  retain the flexibility to shift and redirect platoon fires in support of the entire zone of action.
  An attack may require a forward passage of lines through a stationary force. In a passage of lines, the
  stationary force's SHORAD units protect the passage lanes. The attacking force's SHORAD units accompany
  the passing units. Airspace coordinating measures and weapons control measures must be planned and
  disseminated by either the division AMD cell or brigade ADAM cell. Similar procedures apply for rearward
  passage of lines.
  EXPLOITATION
  Exploitation is a type of offensive operation that usually follows a successful attack and is designed to
  disorganize the enemy in depth (ADP 3-90). Exploitations seek to disintegrate enemy forces to the point
  where they have no alternative but to surrender or retreat.
  Exploitation follows any successful attack and is conducted to take advantage of the success. A M-
  SHORAD platoon may move with the main body (exploitation force), or it may be task organized to provide
  support for both the exploitation force and the logistics elements. Avenger and Stinger elements are used to
  keep maneuver force lines of communications open and protect key logistics facilities and C2 posts. C2 is
  critical to support constantly moving units.
  PURSUIT
  Pursuit is a type of offensive operation designed to catch or cut off a hostile force attempting to escape,
  with the aim of destroying it (ADP 3-90). There are two variations of the pursuit: frontal and combination.
  A pursuit normally follows a successful exploitation. However, if enemy resistance breaks down and enemy
  forces begin fleeing the battlefield, any type of offensive operation can transition into a pursuit. Pursuits
  entail rapid movement and decentralized control.
  The pursuit is oriented on the enemy rather than on terrain objectives. Since penetration occurs deep
  in the enemy rear, the same caution as in a movement to contact must be practiced. M-SHORAD maneuvers
  with the pursuing forces, normally traveling at their flanks. Avengers are generally positioned at the rear of
  a maneuvering force to defend the maneuver support, C2, fire support, and maneuver reserve forces.
  DEFENSIVE OPERATIONS
  A defensive operation is an operation to defeat an enemy attack, gain time, economize forces, and
  develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability operations (ADP 3-0). The purpose of the defense is
  to create conditions for the offense that allow Army forces to regain the initiative. The inherent strengths of
  the defense are the defender's ability to occupy positions before an attack and use the available time to
  improve those defenses. A defending force stops improving its defensive preparations only when it
