Maneuver Function (I)

Physical Maneuver

Seeks terrain dominance, both terrestrial as well as aerial and electromagnetic.

The physical maneuver of the 35th Brigade is materialized mainly through the activities in the three components of movement and fire, terrain dominance, and mobility and countermobility.

• The movement of all the elements of command and units with the maximum rapidity, to reach the operative advantage in front of an increasingly sophisticated adversary, and the fire to achieve superiority in confrontation. The means of producing indirect fire (mortars) and direct fire (missiles) of the manoeuvre units will be connected to the Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) to facilitate the location of targets.
• Terrain dominance must be achieved in the three components of the physical dimension of the ground maneuver (surface, air-ground and underground), always relying on the two non-physical components (cognitive and cybernetic). Strategic and tactical anticipation contributes to achieving terrain dominance. Failing this, it will be achieved by means of effective or potential fire and as a last resort by means of shock, so that the ground forces must have the capacity to dominate the terrain with a progressive use of movement and fire.
• Mobility and counter-mobility; it will be necessary to have means of crossing obstacles (deep crevices, rivers...), clearing routes, against mines and explosive devices, as well as rehabilitation of communication routes.

Brigade Materialisation:

• Three Combat Groups based on the Infantry battalion, whose main material is the 8x8 Dragon with 30 mm cannon.
• Cavalry Group with three squadrons, which will be integrated in each of the three Combat Groups, equipped with 8x8 Dragon combat vehicles and Centaur vehicles, with 105 mm cannon.
• Sappers Battalion, whose main materials are the Sappers Combat Vehicles on 8x8 Dragon platform, Vehicles Launched Bridges and earth moving means.
