Enabling Tactics, Techniques, Procedures, and Considerations 07 December 2020 ATP 5-0.2-1 213 FM 3-90-2 Figure C-7. Example graphic control measures for a moving linkup force with a stationary force C-103. Linkup between two moving units is one of the most difficult operations. It is usually conducted to complete the encirclement of an enemy force. Primary and alternate linkup points for two moving forces are established on boundaries where the two forces are expected to converge. As the linking units move closer, positive control is coordinated to avoid fratricide and ensure the enemy does not escape between the two forces. Lead elements of each unit should monitor a common radio net. Figure C-8 on page 214 shows example graphic control measures of a linkup with both units moving.
