ENGAGEMENS AREA DEVELOPMENT (IAW FM 3-21.10)
◦ The EA is where the company commander intends to contain and destroy an enemy force using the massed
fires of all available weapons. The success of any engagement depends on how effectively the commander can
integrate the obstacle plan, indirect fire plan, direct fire plan, and the terrain within the EA to achieve the company's
tactical purpose. Beginning with evaluation of METT-TC factors, the development process covers these steps.
◦ Identify all likely enemy avenues of approach.
◦ 'Determine likely enemy schemes of maneuver.
◦ Determine where to kill the enemy.
◦ Emplace weapons systems.
◦ Plan and integrate obstacles.
◦ Plan and integrate indirect fires.
◦ Rehearse the execution of operations in the EA.
