A

distinguishable

25
Q

Each COA must show how the decisive operation accomplishes the mission, how shaping operations create and preserve conditions for success, how sustaining operations enable shaping and decisive operations, how to account for decisive action tasks, and tasks to be performed and conditions to be achieved.
