text: Movement and Forms of Maneuver
  Organization of Forces
  2-72. The task organization for a turning movement are the following:
  * Security force.
  * Diversion force.
  * Turning force.
  * Reserve.
  2-73. The security force performs security and reconnaissance tasks as part of its enabling operations. A
  diversion force is task-organized to ensure the success of the turning force. The diversion force conducts
  operations, such as attacks designed to divert the enemy force’s attention away from the turning force. The
  force conducting the turning movement is the turning force. The turning force conducts the echelon’s main
  effort and is resourced appropriately. The reserve is positioned to support the turning force. However, the
  reserve can support the security or diversion force if required.
  Control Measures
  2-74. Units designate control measures as necessary to synchronize subordinate force’s operations. These
  control measures include—
  * Phase lines.
  * Contact points.
  * Objectives.
  * Limits of advance.
  * Appropriate fire control measures.
  Planning a Turning Movement
  2-75. Selecting the right terrain-oriented objective of a turning movement is of major importance to the
  success of the operation. This causes the enemy forces to relocate from their current position to meet the
  friendly force in a position away from their previous occupied position or risk catastrophic defeat. The unit’s
  scheme of maneuver in a turning movement may vary depending on the specific situation and mission
  variables. In addition to common offensive planning considerations, units conducting a turning movement
  pay special attention to planning branches and sequels to the turning movement, including—
  * Transitioning to an exploitation or pursuit.
  * Transitioning to a defense.
  * Linking up the turning force and diversion force.
  * Retrograding the turning force.
  2-76. After developing the tactical plan, units plan how the turning force maneuvers to its objective. They
  develop the turning force’s movement, loading, and staging plans if they require outside transportation assets.
  Units plan to occupy key terrain that threatens the enemy force’s survival or remain mobile and seek ways to
  exploit the turning force’s success.
  2-77. If there is an early linkup with the main body during a turning movement, the turning force normally
  plans to defend the terrain required to protect itself. Once reinforcement or linkup with the main body occurs,
  units plan how to use the turning force to continue the attack or relieve the main body so it can prepare for
  subsequent missions.
  2-78. The distances between forces and the existence of intermittent LOCs magnify the problems inherent
  in providing sustainment to a maneuver force during a turning movement. Therefore, when planning a turning
  movement, units describe the sustainment conditions required or acceptable for the operation.
  2-79. Units consider the provision of all supplies and equipment required for mission accomplishment as an
  integral part of tactical planning. They plan and organize unit sustainment operations to support a rapid tempo
  of highly mobile and widely dispersed operations. Turning movements tend to have greater supporting
  distances and responsibilities. Sustainment planners recognize this and adjust their plans using available
