Chapter 6 6-40 FM 3-09 30 April 2020 Figure 6-7. Division Consolidation Area RECONSTITUTION OPERATIONS 6-178. The scale, complexity, and increased destructive power of large-scale ground combat operations assumes an all-encompassing fight, potentially resulting in the greater loss of personnel, weapon platforms, supplies, and equipment of our warfighting formations. Under exceptional conditions, with severely degraded units, constrained time, and limited or no personnel replacements, commanders may make the decision to execute reconstitution. Reconstitution must be planned and resourced from the beginning of any operation.
