  Measure--This is to estimate by comparing two distances.
  Attack by fire--This is to use direct fires, supported by indirect fires, to engage an enemy without
  closing with him to destroy, suppress, fix, or deceive him.
  Suppress--This results in the temporary degradation of the performance of a force or weapons system
  below the level needed to accomplish the mission.
  Disrupt--This is to integrate direct and indirect fires, terrain, and obstacles to upset an enemy’s
  formation or tempo, interrupt his timetable, or cause his forces to commit prematurely or attack in
  piecemeal fashion.

  Purpose
  4-22. The purpose generally supports the BFSB’s purpose and is the same as other Army operations.
  LRSU study strengths, dispositions, composition, and capabilities of the friendly and enemy forces that
  could affect the team's mission.
  • Plan use of time and prepare a written schedule for required actions. Include--
  — Time.
  — Event.
  — Place.
  — Uniform.
  — Personnel who will attend.
  • Use the reverse-planning technique.
  • Select and request equipment (routine and special).
  Enemy
  4-23. The MPF provides information about the enemy’s composition, disposition, strength, recent
  activities, ability to reinforce, and possible COAs. The team also determines what they do not know
  about the enemy and requests that information. It is likely the enemy situation will remain uncertain and
  the experience and training of the LRS team becomes essential in determining a realistic enemy situation.
