  Figure 2-14. Frontal attack
  2-28. A frontal attack is necessary when assailable flanks do not exist. Frontal attack maintain continuous
  pressure along the entire front until a breach occurs or the attacking forces succeed in pushing the enemy
  forces back. Consequently, units rarely conduct frontal attack when they lack overwhelming combat power
  unless fixing the enemy is vital to a larger operation’s success.
  Organization of Forces
  2-29. There is no unique organization of forces associated with a frontal attack. Units executing a frontal
  attack organize into a security force, a main body, and a reserve. The mission variables dictate the specific
  task organization of a unit.
  Control Measures
  2-30. Units conducting a frontal attack may not require any additional control measures beyond those
  established to control the overall mission. This includes at a minimum an assigned area and an objective.
  Units can also use any other control measure necessary to control the frontal attack, including—
  * Attack positions.
  * Lines of departure.
  * Phase lines.
  * Assault positions.
