A unit is encircled when all ground routes of evacuation and reinforcement have been cut by enemy action. A force may become encircled when it is ordered to remain in a strong position on key terrain to deny the enemy passage through a vital choke point following an enemy breakthrough or left to hold the shoulder of a penetration. Additionally, a commander can leave a unit in position behind the enemy by design or give a unit a mission with a high risk of encirclement. A-80. A breakout is an operation conducted by an encircled force to regain freedom of movement or contact with friendly units (ADP 3-90). A breakout is both an offensive and a defensive operation. An encircled force normally attempts to conduct breakout operations when one of the following four conditions exist:  The senior commander directs the breakout or the breakout falls within the intent of a higher echelon commander.  The encircled force does not have sufficient relative combat power to defend itself against enemy forces attempting the encirclement.  The encircled force does not have adequate terrain available to conduct its defense.  The encircled force cannot sustain itself long enough for relief by forces outside the encirclement.
