  EXPLOITATION AND PURSUIT
  6-95. Exploitation is a type of offensive operation following a successful attack to disorganize the enemy in
  depth (FM 3-90). Exploitation is the primary means of translating tactical success into operational advantage.
  It exacerbates enemy force disorganization, confusion, and disruption of the C2 system caused by tactical
  defeat. Exploitation takes advantage of tactical opportunities to degrade enemy forces to the point where they
  have no alternative but surrender, be destroyed, or take flight. Typically, the supported commander does not
  assign a subordinate unit the mission of exploitation before starting a movement to contact or attack but
  reorganizes internally to reflect the existing mission variables of METT-TC (I) when the opportunity to
  exploit success occurs. Exploitation demands a force with sufficient mobility to maintain pressure on the
  fleeing enemy force. Joint fires, to include CAS, are the most flexible assets in an exploitation and pursuit.
