  3-14. Convergence requires the synchronization of specific targets and broad objectives by the senior tactical
  echelon below the land component command. The degree to which a formation achieves convergence in an
  operation depends on how well leaders are able to—
  (cid:122) Develop an understanding of the enemy system, its capabilities, requirements, decision processes,
  and vulnerabilities through effective surveillance that provides mixed, redundant, and overlapping
  coverage.
  (cid:122) Determine the desired overall effect or opportunity and the individual effects and objectives that
  precipitate the opportunity.
  (cid:122) Integrate Army and joint capabilities at the echelons where they are most effective.
  (cid:122) Consider all domains and redundant methods of attack to increase the probability of success.
  (cid:122) Synchronize the employment of each capability and echelon to generate simultaneous, sequential,
  and enduring effects against the enemy system.
  (cid:122) Assess the individual effects and the probability that the desired overall effect has been achieved.
  Commanders prepare to re-attack or adapt a course of action if the desired effect is not achieved,
  or if other opportunities emerge.
  (cid:122) Assume risk and rapidly exploit the opportunities convergence provides.
  (See figure 3-1 for a simplified illustration of convergence. See JP 3-60 for more information about targeting.)

  Integration
  3-15. Convergence requires the integration of the capabilities at the echelons where their employment is
  most effective. Integration is the arrangement of military forces and their actions to create a force that
  operates by engaging as a whole (JP 1, Volume 1). Commanders generally integrate Army capabilities
