  PURSUIT
  6-232. A 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). Pursuits entail rapid movement and decentralized control.
  Any offensive operation can transition into a pursuit if enemy resistance breaks down and enemy forces flee.
  Generally, a pursuit normally follows a successful exploitation. There are two types of pursuits:
  (cid:122) Frontal.
  (cid:122) Combination.
  OFFENSIVE OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK CONSIDERATIONS
  6-233. Within the context of the higher echelon commander’s operational framework and the general
  phasing scheme, commanders must design attacks that defeat enemy forces across all echelons, while
  enabling subordinate disciplined initiative. When designing attacks, commanders divide the task of defeating
  an enemy force and maintain an integrated approach through deep, close, and rear operations. Commanders
  account for air, space, cyberspace, and when relevant, maritime capabilities across the operational
  framework. Figure 6-7 illustrates friendly offensive operations across a notional operational framework.

  EXTENDED DEEP AREA DURING OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS
  6-234. The extended deep area is an important part of any formation’s area of interest because it contains
  enemy capabilities that can inflict damage on friendly forces and affect friendly forces’ operational reach and
  endurance. Enemy strategic C2 nodes and long-range fires capabilities, including ground-based missiles and
  aviation assets, are generally located in the extended deep area out of the corps or division’s AO. The situation
