1-83. There is no standard battle rhythm for every situation. Different echelons, types of units, and types of operations require commanders and staffs to develop a battle rhythm based on the situation. During large- scale ground combat, where lethality and time constraints require rapid planning and decision cycles, the unit’s battle rhythm focuses on defeating the enemy. Daily battle rhythm events may consist of a morning and evening current operations update brief, a targeting meeting, and a combined plans and future operations update brief. In operations dominated by stability tasks, where headquarters are often static, the battle rhythm may be more deliberate with daily, weekly, and monthly working groups and boards. While the battle rhythm establishes a routine for a headquarters, the unit’s battle rhythm is not fixed. Commanders modify the battle rhythm as the situation evolves. (See ATP 6-0.5 for a detailed discussion of battle rhythm to include examples of common meetings, working groups, and boards.)
