24
Q

What is freedom of action?

Study These Flashcards
A

Enables commanders to achieve operational initiative and maintain operational tempo by
conducting sustainment preparation of the OE, synchronizing the sustainment plan with the scheme of maneuver
and maintaining flexibility and disciplined initiative while supporting maneuver commanders.

25
What is operational reach?
The distance and duration across which a force can successfully employ military capabilities.
26
What is prolonged endurance?
The ability to employ combat power anywhere for protracted periods. Sustainment provides the support necessary to ensure operations continue until mission accomplishment.

Does LSCO require greater sustainment than other types of operations?
Yes
28
What are support area operations?
The tactical actions securing lines of communications, bases, and base clusters that enable an echelon’s sustainment and command and control.
29
What does sustainments survivability depend on?
Active and passive measures and maneuver forces for protection.
30
What 4 areas make up the strategic framework?
* Strategic support area. * Joint security area. * Extended deep area. * Assigned operational area.
31
What 3 things make up the operational framework?
* Assigned areas. * Deep, close, and rear operations. * Main effort, supporting effort, and reserve.
32
What are the 9 Lines of Effort for Contested Logistics?
