Retrograde Operations
Retrograde Operations : "Retrograde operations refers to any movement of a command to the rear or away from the enemy. in the context of a WMD-CST response, a retrograde operation is a movement away from the source of contamination, the spread of contamination, or another hazard. A commander primarily executes retrograde operations to preserve the force and avoid hazards. There are many factors that may cause a WMD-CST to relocate after initial occupation of the WMD-CST footprint. Situations that may result in retrograde operations include substantial wind direction shifts or the expansion of the hazard area around an incident". (Dept, of the Army, WMD-CST Operations, December 2007, p. 5-8)
