English term or phrase: area array configuration
Biological platoons may operate in an area array configuration to protect key troop concentrations (reception, staging, onward movement, integration, staging, tactical assembly areas).


Another example:
- Perform area array
- Provides staging areas
- Provides tactical assembly areas
- Perform critical node array

I think area array in the second example may refer to area-array operations. However, I still cannot understand the term

Asker: Thanks! It is clear as crystal that this could be a type of geographical disposition! But the question lies in the fact that what kind of arrangement it refers to! This is the most obvious part everyone can understand with a glance!
