Proactive Campaigning Forward: Strategically applying combat power on key terrain during exercises and rehearsals for potential operations is essential for deterring adversaries and empowering the joint force.

Setting the Stage for Joint Operations: The Army and its strategic land power network play a crucial role in setting the stage for joint operations, facilitating the movement of personnel and equipment, establishing vital supply chains, and maintaining essential infrastructure.
