Why It Matters

• See more with greater visual depth
• Choose when to engage or disengage
• Control movement, terrain, and initiative

Advantage Pyramid

• Survive by minimizing your exposure
• Observe to know first, act early
• Shape movement, then dominate the terms

Ground Comparison

• Low ground leaves you exposed and reactive
• High ground offers concealment and extended view
• Elevation opens multiple movement options

Acquire and Hold

• Recon terrain folds and available cover
• Approach using concealment to close distance
• Occupy height while reducing exposure

Observe and Control

• Establish patterns, threats, and routes above
• Use elevation to shape enemy decisions
• Control timing of the engagement

Disengage Clean

• Leave before exposure builds against you
• Move out covered and quiet
• Favor information over visibility
