Tactical Encirclement Operations and Negotiation Strategy
Introduction-Tactical Problem
The tactical problem lies in carrying out higher headquarters guidance and restoring the central government control of the provincial capital and citadel while simultaneously retaining the loyalty of all supporters of the central government and in neutralizing the threat posed by the militias.
Analysis
FM 3-90 specifically deals with the problem of deals with offensive operations against an encircled enemy. This would not preclude the use of negotiations to get the enemy commander to surrender peacefully. However, if offensive operations are initiated, this is the defining FM for planning the basic operation. As the FM defines encirclement operations, they are "operations where one force loses its
freedom of maneuver because an opposing force is able to isolate
it by controlling all ground lines of communication and reinforcement ("FM 3-90 Tactics" D-0)." The operation is not a "separate form of offensive operations but an extension of an ongoing operation. (ibid. D-1)" Therefore, the operation would doctrinally allow U.S. forces to encircle New Olaf while still negotiating. If the enemy engages in offensive (or defensive) operations, friendly forces would then not have far to go in a movement to contact. However, this is only if Ethelred makes the first move. This is why a friendly U.S. commander would only conduct the encirclement and not the second phase of offensive operations (ibid. D-2).
Since Ethelred attended U.S. Army service schools such as the Command and General Staff College, he should respect the fact that it is not the U.S. intention to hurt him or his troops unless absolutely necessary.
