About

FM 6-40-5 2-1. Threat to Maneuver Forces a. The enemy will field a large, well- trained, hard-hitting combined arms team equipped with the most modern weapons. His tanks and motorized units will attack our maneuver forces with direct fire and assault fire. His artillery and air defense units will provide extensive support in offensive and defensive operations. His tactical aircraft may strike targets throughout the battlefield. He will use electronic warfare equipment to locate, jam, and deceive our communications and radar systems. He may use chemical weapons, since his forces are well trained in chemical warfare. He may use saboteurs or special action forces in our rear areas. b. To counter the threat to our maneuver forces, field artillery must be able to neutra- lize these enemy capabilities at the critical time and place on the battlefield. 2-2.
