  pinning down an Infantry unit during tactical movement (movement). The infantry unit then closes with
  (maneuver) and destroys the enemy. In this example, the fires warfighting function complements the
  movement and maneuver warfightingfunction.
  Notes.In the context of Army tactics,movementis the positioning of combat power to establish
  the conditions for maneuver (ADP 3-90). To direct movement, BCT forces use movement
  techniques, use movement formations, and conduct battle drills to mitigate the risk of making
  contact with the enemy before maneuvering. Commanders and subordinate leaders must avoid
  confusing tactical movement with maneuver. Tactical movement is movement in preparation for
  contact;maneuver is movement while in contact. Actions on contact are the process by which a
  unit transitions from tactical movement to maneuver. (See chapter 6.)
  In both the offense and defense,contact occurs when a unit encounters any situation that requires
  an active or passive response to a threat or potential threat. The eight forms of contact are visual;
  direct; indirect; nonhostile; obstacles; aircraft; chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear
  (CBRN), and electromagnetic warfare (EW). The conduct of tactical offensive and defensive
  operationsmost often involves conduct using the visual,direct,and indirect forms.
  2-90. Reinforcing capabilities combine similar systems or capabilities within the same warfighting function
  to increase the function’s overall capabilities. In urban operations, for example, Infantry, aviation, Armor,
  and special forces(movement and maneuver) often operate close to each other. This combination reinforces
  the protection,maneuver,and direct fire capabilities of each. The Infantry protects tanks from enemy Infantry
  and antitank systems; tanks provide protection and firepower for the Infantry. Army aviation attack and
  reconnaissance units maneuver above buildings to observe and fire from positions of advantage,while other
  aircraft may help sustain the ground elements. Special forces units enable indigenous forces, which can
  provide combat information, intelligence, target locations, and provide a layer to the COP of the BCT that
  cannot be realized without an indigenous view. Army space-enabled capabilities and services such as
  communications and global positioning satellites enable communications,navigation,situational awareness,
  protection,and sustainment of land forces.
  2-91. Other capabilities—such as close air support (see ATP 3-09.32) and Army special operations forces
  (see FM3-05)—can complement or reinforce the BCT’s capabilities. For example,close air support planning
  and execution in support of the BCT is tightly integrated,and focused on providing timely and accurate fires
  in close proximity to the enemy. Army special operations forces such as PSYOP units are attached to the
  BCT and provide unique capabilities to influence populations, facilitate graduated response, and protect
  noncombatants among other force multiplying effects.
  2-92. Combined arms multiplyArmy forces’effectiveness in all operations. Units operating without support
  of other capabilities generate less combat power and may not accomplish their mission. Employing combined
  arms requires highly trained Soldiers, skilled leadership, effective staff work, and integrated information
  systems. As stewards of the Army Profession, the BCT commander and staff fully leverage their military
  expertise and work effectively, efficiently, and ethically to optimize the use of available resources.
  Commanders synchronize combined arms operations utilizing command and control systems to apply the
  effects of combat power to the best advantage. They conduct simultaneous combinations of offensive,
  defensive, and stability operations to defeat an opponent on land and establish conditions that achieve the
  commander’s end state.
  HASTY VERSUS DELIBERATE OPERATIONS
  2-93. Army forces are task organized specifically for an operation to provide a fully synchronized combined
  arms team. That combined arms team conducts extensive rehearsals while also conducting shaping operations
  to set the conditions for the conduct of the force’s decisive operation. Most operations lie somewhere along
  a continuum between two extremes—hasty operations and deliberate operations. A hasty operation is an
  operation in which a commander directs immediately available forces,using fragmentary orders,to perform
  tasks with minimal preparation,trading planning and preparation time for speed of execution (ADP3-90). A
  deliberate operationis an operation in which the tactical situation allows the development and coordination
