Complex battle positions (CBPs) protect units or assets within them and provide sanctuary from which to launch local attacks.
CBPs are located off but adjacent to the likely enemy approach.
Their structures are similar to Simple Battle Positions but for different purposes.
Approaches will have developed Kill Zones, while Security protects and prevents detection.
The sub-tasks are: Protect defending element from discovery and destruction and degrade the enemy’s capabilities.
CBPs primarily protect units or key assets from detection. If compromised, defenders will enable withdrawal of these to a safe area.
They may also provide covert support to Simple Battle Positions.
CBP act as a sanctuary from which to launch and support attacks against enemy key systems in the Disruption Zone.
Remember that robust OPFOR disruption zone actions that undermine a potentially superior force rely on the covert support of Complex Battle Positions.
