Chapter 8
ART 8.0: Conduct Tactical Mission
Tasks and Operations
Tactical proficiency is not defined by mastery of written doctrine, but by
the ability to employ available means to win battles and engagements. A
tactical solution may not match any previous example; however, the
language used to communicate that concept must be technically precise
and doctrinally consistent, using commonly understood and accepted
terms and concepts. The chapter sustains this doctrinal consistency by
delineating the tactical missions and operations conducted by Army
tactical forces. A tactical mission task is a specific activity
performed by a unit while executing a form of tactical operation
or form of maneuver. It may be expressed in terms of either
actions by a friendly force or effects on an enemy force. The
tactical mission tasks provide commanders, their staffs, combat
developers, training developers and doctrine analysts a resource to assist
in identifying missions units are to accomplish. Training developers use
this chapter to base collective training plans on one or more of these
missions.
MEASURES OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
8-1. Measures of any mission accomplishment are both objective and
subjective in their evaluation by commanders. The most critical measure for
8-1
FM 7-15__________________________________________________________________________
all Army tactical missions and tasks is if the mission is accomplished. There
is no other measure above this one. To measure mission accomplishment
commanders must also consider if mission accomplishment was within:
z Higher commander’s intent statement of what the force must do and
the conditions,
z Specified timeline,
z Commander’s risk assessment for fratricide avoidance and collateral
damage,
z Minimum expenditure of resources,
z Unit’s capability of continuing or being assigned future missions and
operations.
SECTION I - ART 8.1: CONDUCT OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS
8-2. Offensive operations aim at destroying or defeating an enemy. Their
purpose is to impose the commander’s will on the enemy and achieve decisive
victory. Offensive operations seek to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative.
Army force commanders attack enemies simultaneously throughout the AO
to throw them off balance, overwhelm their capabilities, disrupt their
defenses, and ensure their defeat or destruction. The offense ends when the
force achieves the purpose of the operation, reaches a limit of advance, or
approaches culmination. Army forces conclude a phase of an offensive by
consolidating gains, resuming the attack, or preparing for future operations.
Additional tasks that offensive operations accomplish include disrupting
enemy coherence, securing or seizing terrain, denying the enemy resources,
fixing the enemy, and gaining information. Types of offensive operations
include movement to contact, attack, exploitation, and pursuit. The forms of
8-2
________________________________________
ART 8.0: Conduct Tactical Mission Tasks and Operations
maneuver are envelopment, turning movement, frontal attack, penetration,
and infiltration. (FM 3-0) (USACAC)
ART 8.1.1 CONDUCT A MOVEMENT TO CONTACT
8-3. The movement to contact is an offensive action designed to develop the
situation and establish or regain contact. Forces conducting a movement to
contact seek to make contact with the smallest forces feasible. A movement to
contact may result in a meeting engagement. (FM 3-90) (USACAC)
ART 8.1.1.1 CONDUCT A MEETING ENGAGEMENT
8-4. A meeting engagement is a combat action that occurs when a moving
force engages an enemy at an unexpected time and place. Such encounters
normally occur by chance in small unit operations, typically when two
moving forces collide. They may result in brigade or larger unit operations
when intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations have been
ineffective. Meeting engagements can also occur when opposing forces are
aware of the general presence, but not the exact location, of each other, and
both decide to attack immediately. (FM 3-90) (USACAC)
ART 8.1.1.2 CONDUCT A SEARCH AND ATTACK
8-5. Search and attack is a technique for conducting a movement to contact
that shares many of the characteristics of an area security mission. (FM 3-90)
(USACAC)
