Tactical Disposition and Energy

Tactical Disposition focused on talking about modern operations, both offensive and defensive. A key factor in the chapter was gaining key terrain during the operations and to be ready for combat. This is strongly important since these both can help to gain the advantage over the enemy. Next was “Energy,” which focused more on the abilities of the soldiers. It talked about how they need to be trained to be ready for anything. A great example of this importance is when we practice STX lanes during lab. We are able to complete the battle drill, but we also need to learn how to work with variables such as Media or Civilian on the Battlefield. Learning to deal with variables during a mission is crucial because we need to be calm and “on our toes” in order to keep our defense or offense up.
