A movement to contact decreases the odds of a meeting engagement.

Movement to contact is a deliberate maneuver to close with the enemy, gain information, and fix their position while seeking a confrontation on favorable terms. Its purpose is to bring about contact and, if possible, a decisive engagement on your terms. Because the tactic is designed to force or invite a fight, it increases the likelihood of a meeting engagement rather than decreasing it. Of course, the actual outcome can depend on how the enemy responds and terrain, but the intended effect is to prompt engagement, not to avoid it.
