6-7. During offensive operations, enemy forces typically attempt to mask the location of their main effort with multiple fixing attacks on the ground while using fires to disrupt critical friendly nodes (for example command posts [CPs], radars, and fire direction centers) and isolate friendly forward units. Generally, enemy forces seek to reinforce success, massing capabilities at a vulnerable point to achieve large force ratio advantages to enable a rapid penetration of friendly defenses. The enemy uses mobile forces to exploit the penetration rapidly to the maximum possible depth in order to make the overall friendly defensive posture untenable. Threat forces can have advantages in both volume and range of fires, so they can simultaneously mass fires on the point of penetration to enable rapid closure and breakthrough, fix other friendly elements along the forward line of own troops (FLOT), and target key friendly mission command and logistics nodes along the depth of the defense. Threat forces prefer to use fires to move around fixed positions when possible and through destroyed units when necessary. Threat forces seek to maneuver tactically to a depth that achieves operational objectives in support of his overall strategic purpose. Threat forces will employ intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; EW; information warfare; SOF, and all other capabilities at their disposal. These are likely to include chemical weapons. Figure 6-2 shows a typical enemy disruption force in the attack. Figure 6-3 on page 6-6 shows typical enemy fixing and breaching a brigade combat team (BCT) defense. Figure 6-4 on page 6-7 illustrates an enemy exploitation force. Figure 6-5 on page 6-8 illustrates the organization of an army-level integrated fires command.
