Which of the following is NOT a tenet of ULO?

• A. Flexibility
• B. Simultaneity
• C. Depth
• D. Coordination

Answer: (D)

Unified Land Operations uses three core tenets to shape how forces are employed: flexibility, simultaneity, and depth. Flexibility is about adapting to changing conditions and enemy actions while still pursuing the same objective. Simultaneity focuses on conducting multiple operations across different domains at the same time to overwhelm the enemy and seize opportunities. Depth ensures that actions create lasting effects and sustain the operation through layered, persistent capabilities across echelons.

Coordination plays a crucial role in making all of these work together, but it isn’t itself listed as a tenet. It’s the process that synchronizes actions, integrates efforts, and aligns resources so that the other principles can be applied effectively.
