At the same time, they have to ensure that the supply lines will continue to deliver these products when they are needed the most. The reason why the BCT and SPO are worried about these issues; is any kind of disruptions could have an impact on the ability to continue with offensive operations. If this were to happen, it is increasing the chances that there could be some kind of counterattack (while leaving forces in a vulnerable position).
As the Executive Officer (XO) of a Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) currently transitioning from offensive to (area) defensive operations, what guidance would you provide to your staff reference sustainment priorities?

This is because the process of transitioning from offensive to defensive operations will involve removing certain assets from key areas (such as: equipment and personnel). In the future, this increases the chances that personnel will be the subject of some kind of guerilla attack. This can make the shift from offensive to defensive operations much more drawn out.
However, if everyone is told to be watchful of the situation on the ground and continues to maintain aggressive activities. This will mitigate any kind of chances, of elements from the old regime or allied groups attempting to conduct insurgent operations. Instead, this will increase the overall amounts of stability inside the area. This is the point that there can be a more rapid transition between offensive and defensive operations for units in the area. Over the course of time, this will help to make the transitions occur smoothly (resulting in increased amounts of stability).
These areas are showing how military commanders must establish some kind of program that will gradually wind down. While being able to, maintain a high amount of security in a host of areas. The...
