CONDITIONS: The company is conducting operations as part of a larger force and has

received an operation order (OPORD) or fragmentary order (FRAGO) to assault an

objective. The company is located in an assembly area. The company will provide its own

security. All necessary personnel and equipment are available. The company has

communications with higher, adjacent, and subordinate elements. The company has been

provided guidance on the rules of engagement (ROE) and or rules of interaction (ROI).

tactical standing operating procedures (TSOP), the order, and or higher commander's

guidance. The company moves tactically from the assembly area to the line of departure

(LD) and then to assault, support, or breach positions using the appropriate formation and

technique. The company provides supporting fires. The company suppresses enemy

forces on or near the objective and assaults the objective to destroy, capture, or forces the

enemy to withdraw. The company complies with the rules of engagement (ROE) and or

rules of interaction (ROI).
