About

CONOPS (continuous operations) is combat continuing at the same-high intensity level for extended periods. Soldiers may have opportunities for sleep, but this sleep may be brief or fragmented. CONOPS is distinguished from SUSOPS (sustained operations). In SUSOPS, the same soldiers and small units engage in continuous operations with no opportunity for the unit to stand down and very little opportunity for soldiers to get more than a few minutes of sleep. Within any CONOPS, there are likely to be periods of SUSOPS. Continuous land combat is an advanced warfare concept. It is made possible by the almost complete mechanization of land combat forces and by the technology that permits effective movement at night, in poor weather, and in other low-visibility conditions. Continuous combat operations may be fast-paced, around-the-clock, and intense.
