Attack Subtasks (DARC-SF) include which of the following?

• A. Demonstration
• B. Raid
• C. Reconnaissance
• D. Feint

Answer: (B)

Attack subtasks are direct offensive actions designed to engage the enemy and affect their capability. A raid fits this precisely: it’s a sudden, planned assault against a specific objective with the goal of destroying, seizing, or denying the enemy, followed by a rapid withdrawal before they can mount an effective defense. Demonstration is simply a show of force intended to influence the adversary without actual combat. Reconnaissance focuses on gathering information about the enemy or terrain rather than attacking. A feint is a deceptive maneuver meant to mislead about the real objective; it can support an attack but is not itself the actual attack. So the action that truly constitutes an Attack Subtask is the raid.
