Redundant C2 headquarters are pushed forward. The A and B forward CPs have identical capabilities for communications and intelligence. Key signal nodes are positioned forward to kick in when the unit begins to maneuver, but the division is silent. Strict control on emissions is observed. UAVs and satellites extend communications and networks.
Units receive updates on the move via satellite broadcasts.
Concurrently, the unit begins to shape the battlespace. When thinking about shaping the battlespace, one must understand the enemy's organizational whole. Shaping activities are already isolating the current battle zone and closing off the enemy's capacity for reconnaissance. Decisive combat is possible without defeating the enemy force in detail. This is accomplished by focusing combat power at precise locations that destroy the organizational integrity of the force.
