A meeting engagement , a term used in war fare, is a combat action that occurs when a moving force, incompletely deployed for battle , engages an enemy at an unexpected time and place. Description Such encounters normally occur by chance in small Military unit unit operations, typically when two moving forces collide. Engagements involving larger units may occur when Military intelligence intelligence , surveillance , or reconnaissance operations have been ineffective. Meeting engagements can also occur when opposing forces are aware of the general presence but not the exact location of each other and both decide to attack immediately. On contact, commanders quickly act to gain the advantage. Speed of action and movement, coupled with both direct and indirect fires, are essential. To maintain momentum, lead elements quickly bypass or fight through light resistance. Freedom to maneuver is always advantageous however, commanders may choose to establish a hasty Defense military defense if the enemy force is larger or the terrain offers a significant benefit. In general, the force that gains and retains the initiative in a meeting engagement wins. One of the classic meeting engagements in military history is the Battle of Mars La Tour during the Franco Prussian War , the outcome of which illustrates the meeting engagement s unique character. Another significant meeting engagement in military history is the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War .

Unreferenced date December 2009 A Head on engagement is one where a surface to air missile system or jet aircraft engages another aircraft while the target aircraft is flying towards the attacker. This makes engagement with infra red homing missiles more difficult because the hot engine exhaust nozzle s of the target are pointing away from the attacker. Typically only all aspect infra red homing missile s are able perform head on engagements. Radar guided missiles are typically able, however head on many aircraft have a much smaller radar cross section so the radar may not be able to track lock onto the target at maximum range in this type of engagement. Missiles typically have a lower chance of hitting a target in a head on engagement because of the very fast closure rate. If the missile is travelling at Mach number Mach 2.5 and the aircraft at Mach 1, the combined rate of Mach 3.5 doesn t give the missile very much time to respond to violent evasive maneuvers the aircraft might perform or to recover from being fooled by countermeasures, etc. In addition, the aircraft can turn away from the missile and then toward it again just before impact, forcing the missile to turn in a much tighter circle than the aircraft needs to in order to follow it through this maneuver. Although missiles can turn faster than aircraft, this advantage is often enough to cause the missile to fly past the aircraft without coming within lethal range. It has the advantage, however, of greatly increasing the effective range at which missiles or cannon s can be used. Many missiles have an effective range in a head on engagement on the order of three or four times of that in a tail chase engagement . The target aircraft effectively flies right into the weapon s fired at it. DEFAULTSORT Head On Engagement Category Aerial warfare tactics ... more details

De facto theorists advocated loyalty to any government capable of taking power and maintaining internal peace and order.
