Different from attack, which is operation being carried out to destroy or defeat the enemy, or to occupy and secure key land, exploitation of success is a type of operation that comes after a successful attack and it is used to make the unit use its success to completely destroy the enemy. Besides that, the work describes the sequence of the offensive operation, from the preparatory phase in the assembly area to the implementation of attack and consolidation and reorganization itself.
