You are correct. Friendly activities appear to be contingent operations generally that depend on what the enemy does, how they respond, and what moves they make.

However, there clearly are certain "target dates" that the enemy likes to broadcast in a coded way. And they hate it when we call them out because they don't know how we are figuring it out. It makes them think they have traitors and moles in their midst giving away operational details (which might actually be true).
