  RISKS TO SIGNAL SUPPORT
  4-34. Peer threats will use EW capabilities to identify and locate friendly command and control nodes.
  Defending units should limit their electromagnetic emissions to protect networked systems and the integrity
  of data on those systems. Defenders can use terrain to mask emitters and reduce the probability of enemy
  signals intelligence and EW detection. Operating emitters remotely from command posts can increase
  command post survivability in case of detection and targeting. Refer to ATP 3-12.3 for techniques to reduce
  command post electromagnetic signature.
  SECTION III – LARGE-SCALE OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS
  4-35. Against a capable, adaptive enemy, the offense is the most direct and sure means of seizing, retaining,
  and exploiting the initiative to gain physical, temporal, and cognitive advantages and achieve definitive
  results (FM 3-0). Characteristics of the offense include audacity, concentration, surprise, and tempo.
  OVERVIEW OF LARGE SCALE OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS
  4-36. Army forces conduct offensive operations to defeat and destroy enemy forces and seize terrain,
  resources, and population centers. Effective performance of offensive operations capitalizes on accurate and
  timely communication of intelligence and other relevant information regarding enemy forces, weather, and
  terrain. There are four primary types of offensive operations:
  * Movement to contact.
  * Attack.
  * Exploitation.
  * Pursuit.
  4-37. The overall concept for signal support is similar among all offensive operations. The specific tasks
  influence planning for signal support to each of these tasks in large-scale offensive operations.
  SIGNAL SUPPORT
  4-38. Corps and division commanders must be able to communicate with adjacent units, subordinates,
  supporting joint forces, and host-nation and multinational forces. Signal support allows command post
  personnel to access the full range of DODIN-A services and capabilities. Signal support is critical to transmit
  plans, develop common situational understanding, and to direct action to break the will of or destroy the
  enemy.
