  resources. Subordinate units carry only those supplies required to meet their immediate needs into the
  operation.
  Executing a Turning Movement
  2-80. Successful turning movements threaten the enemy force into a dilemma. First, enemy forces must move
  from their original positions to meet the threat presented by the turning force. Often enemy forces must
  commit available reserves against this new threat, which exposes their reserves to friendly fires. After the
  turning movement, enemy forces must engage the friendly force on ground that they have not chosen or
  prepared. The other option for enemy forces is to continue to hold the terrain they occupy at the risk of
  becoming enveloped and potentially encircled by friendly forces. Whenever possible, units conducting a
  turning movement try to reach the terrain-oriented objective that compels enemy forces to reposition prior to
  encountering them. Friendly forces finding their way into the enemy force’s rear area to rapidly exploit the
  situation seek to achieve their objectives before the enemy can react. Rapid movement is essential to prevent
  enemy forces from occupying previously prepared positions in the enemy force’s rear.
  2-81. The maneuver of the turning force is what causes enemy forces to leave their positions. A turning force
  normally conducts most of its operations outside the supporting range of the diversion force and possibly
  outside its supporting distance. The turning force must contain sufficient maneuver, functional, and
  multifunctional capabilities to operate independently for a specified period. Units organize the reserve to
  exploit success by using either the turning force or the diversion force.
  INFILTRATION
  2-82. An infiltration is a form of maneuver in which an attacking force conducts undetected movement
  through or into an area occupied by enemy forces. Infiltration is also a march technique used well before
  encountering enemy forces to avoid enemy information collection assets. Infiltration occurs by land, water,
  air, or a combination of means. Moving and assembling forces covertly through enemy positions takes a lot
  of time. A successful infiltration requires the infiltrating force to avoid detection and engagement by enemy
  forces. Since this requirement limits the size and strength of the infiltrating force, and infiltrated forces alone
  can rarely defeat an enemy force, units use infiltration in conjunction with and in support of other forms of
  offensive maneuver. Figure 2-19 depicts an infiltration.
