CONSOLIDATE GAINS
“Consolidate gains is an integral part of winning armed conflict and achieving
success across the range of military operations; it is essential to retaining the
initiative over determined enemies and adversaries. To consolidate gains, Army
forces reinforce and integrate the efforts of all unified action partners.”
To consolidate gains, Army forces take specific actions. These actions include—
•
Consolidation: Forces organize and strengthen their newly occupied positions so that they
can be used for subsequent operations.
• Area security: Forces conduct security tasks to protect friendly forces, installation routes,
critical infrastructure, populations, and actions within an assigned area of operations.
• Stability tasks: Forces first conduct minimum-essential stability tasks, then maintain or
reestablish a safe and secure environment and provide essential governmental services,
emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and humanitarian relief.
• Influence over local and regional audiences (when authorized): Commanders ensure that
supporting and credible narratives are developed and communicated to the intended
population to assist them in understanding the overall goal of military actions and the
benefits of those actions for the population.
• Security from external threats: Commanders use forward presence in an area of operations
to allow a transition in operations to occur without disruption from nascent threats.
