Which statement best represents the Army's approach to Win?

• A. Conduct humanitarian relief operations only
• B. Attack and Defend successfully against Enemy ground forces
• C. Engage in space-based warfare
• D. Produce civilian policy

Answer: (B)

Winning on the battlefield comes from defeating enemy ground forces through effective offense and defense. The Army’s purpose in combat is to seize, hold, and deny terrain by applying coordinated offensive actions to disrupt and defeat the enemy, while stout defensive actions protect your forces, preserve momentum, and prevent the enemy from achieving their aims. Humanitarian relief missions, while important, do not define how victory is achieved in a combat scenario. Space-based warfare is a domain-focused capability and—not by itself—the way the Army primarily secures victory on the ground. Civilian policy work is outside military operations. So the statement that best represents how the Army approaches winning is successfully attacking and defending against enemy ground forces.
