What does KOCOA emphasize concerning the movement of troops?

Obstacles
Avenues of Approach
Band-Aids
Bullets

The correct answer is: Avenues of Approach

KOCOA is a framework used in military operations that stands for Key Terrain, Observations and Fields of Fire, Cover and Concealment, Obstacles, and Avenues of Approach. In this context, Avenues of Approach refers specifically to the routes by which troops can maneuver to engage the enemy or reach an objective. Emphasizing Avenues of Approach highlights the importance of planning troop movements considering the geographical and tactical layout of the battlefield. This understanding aids in identifying the best paths for movement while also accounting for potential enemy engagement points along those routes. By focusing on Avenues of Approach within the KOCOA framework, military planners can effectively evaluate the terrain, anticipate enemy movements, and optimize troop deployment to ensure operational success while minimizing risks.
