Ghost Recon Eliminate with Extreme Prejudice
MISSION The mission of the infantry is to close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to defeat or capture him, or to repel his assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack. a. Despite any technological advantages that our armed forces might have over an enemy, only close combat between ground forces gains the decision in battle. Infantry rifle forces (infantry, airborne, air assault, light, and ranger) have a key role in close combat situations. They-- Attack over approaches that are not feasible for heavy forces. ● Make initial penetrations in difficult terrain for exploitations by armor and mechanized infantry. ● Retain existing obstacles and difficult terrain as pivots for operational and tactical maneuver. ● Seize or secure forested and built-up areas. ● Control restrictive routes for use by other forces. ● Operate primarily at night or during other periods of natural or induced limited visibility. ● Follow and support exploiting heavy forces when augmented with transportation. ● Conduct rear area operations, capitalizing on air mobility. b. Success in battle hinges on the actions of platoons and squads in close combat; on their ability to react to contact, employ suppressive fires, maneuver to a vulnerable flank, and fight through to defeat, destroy, or capture the enemy. The successful actions of small units relies on the ability of leaders and soldiers to use terrain to good advantage; to operate their weapons with accuracy and deadly effect; to out think, out move, and out fight the enemy.
