During which operation would you typically "withdraw" a unit?

Withdrawing a unit typically occurs when the unit is outmaneuvered, as strategic decision-making requires that commanders maintain operational integrity and avoid unnecessary losses. In this context, if a unit finds itself unable to maintain its position due to enemy superior maneuverability or overwhelming force, a withdrawal may be necessary to regroup, reposition, or re-engage under more favorable conditions.

In scenarios like seizing new territory, providing fire support, or capturing an enemy objective, the focus is on advancing or holding ground rather than retreating. These operations typically involve offensive actions that aim to secure objectives rather than disengaging from a combat situation, making withdrawal less relevant in those contexts.
