When initiating Movement to Contact, initial contact should be made with:

Movement to Contact is about quickly locating and fixing the enemy so your force can seize the initiative, while minimizing unnecessary risk. The asset best suited to initiate that contact is the air component, because air units can rapidly scout, observe, and identify enemy dispositions from standoff. They can establish where the enemy is, how strong they are, and what they’re likely doing, without exposing ground forces to danger. This early air-led contact shapes the fight, allowing ground elements to maneuver with better information and timing. Once the enemy’s location and posture are known, ground forces can close the distance and bring the decisive fires to bear.
