Which planning cell drives the appropriate route, movement technique, and terrain flight modes to the maneuver cell?

• A. Maneuver
• B. Intelligence
• C. Operations
• D. Airlift

Answer: (A)

The plan is driven by how forces will be moved and applied to achieve the intended action on the battlefield. The maneuver planning cell determines the route, the way units move (formation, pace, concealment, and dispersion), and the terrain flight modes that best support executing the maneuver. These elements are chosen to maximize speed and surprise, minimize exposure, and keep forces aligned with the tactical objective. Inputs from intelligence or airlift inform the plan, and operations coordinates overall sequencing, but the specific decisions about route, movement technique, and terrain flight modes are anchored in guiding and enabling the maneuver itself.
