8-65. As large-scale combat operations conclude in a corps AO, the corps headquarters reorganizes the AO into areas appropriate for the operational and mission variables to facilitate the most rapid consolidation of gains. Operations primarily focus on providing area security in high threat areas, followed by the performance of stability tasks in lower threat areas. As shown in figure 8-4, a corps can simultaneously attack and consolidate gains during this transitional period. Subordinate divisions may still have BCTs conducting large-scale combat operations while committing one or more BCTs to conduct consolidation of gains in the consolidation area. Ideally, the corps headquarters task-organizes follow and support divisions to execute stability related tasks.
