  location of the reduction area that supports the seizure of a point of penetration. The reduction area is
  indicated by the area located between the arms of the control graphic for breach. As shown in figure 18-1,
  the length and width of the arms extend to include the entire depth of the area that must be reduced.
  18-15. Far side objective is a defined location oriented on the terrain or on an enemy force that an assaulting
  force seizes to eliminate enemy direct fires to prevent the enemy from interfering with the reduction of the
  obstacles and allows follow-on forces to move securely through created lanes (ATP 3-90.4/ MCTP 3-34A).
  A far side objective can be oriented on the terrain or on an enemy force. The higher headquarters assigns the
  objective; however, the attacking unit normally subdivides the objective into smaller objectives to assign
  responsibilities and to control and focus the assault of subordinate forces. When breaching as part of a larger
  force, seizing the far side objective provides the necessary maneuver space for the higher unit follow-on
  forces to move securely through the lanes, assemble or deploy, and continue the attack without enemy
  interference.
  18-16. Point of penetration is the location, identified on the ground, where the commanders concentrate
  their efforts at the weakest point of the enemy to seize a foothold on the far side objective (ATP 3-90.4/
  MCTP 3-34A). This is achieved along a narrow front through maneuver and direct and indirect fires that are
  accurately placed against enemy forces. A commander conducting a breach establishes a point of penetration
  that supports planning locations for the reduction area and the seizure of the far side objective.

  18-17. Breaching activities must be adapted to best exploit the situation. The level and type of planning
  distinguish which of the three general types of breaching:
  * Deliberate.
  * Hasty.
  * Covert.
