The Approach
DEFEAT
– DESTRUCTION
The application of lethal combat power to destroy
enemy capabilities
– DISLOCATION
Employment of forces to obtain significant
positional advantage, rendering the enemy’s
dispositions less valuable, perhaps even
irrelevant
– ISOLATION
Denial of an adversary access to capabilities that
enable his exercise of coercion, influence,
potential advantage, and freedom of action
– DISINTEGRATION
Exploitation and the integration of dislocating and
destructive effects to shatter the coherence of
enemy forces
STABILIZE
– COMPEL
Actual or threatened force to establish control and
dominance; effect behavioral change; and
enforce compliance with mandates, agreements,
or civil authority
– INFLUENCE
Imposition of will on the situation through
information operations, presence, and conduct to
effect behavioral change through nonlethal
means
– CONTROL
Imposition of civil order in accordance with the
objectives of the operation
– SUPPORT
Ability of the force to establish, reinforce, or set
the conditions necessary for the other instruments
of national power to function effectively
