A break-out occurs when an encircled force creates an opening in enemy lines and extricates itself to join with friendly forces. In this operation, it is essential to maintain momentum while retaining the integrity of the force. Normally a break-out is ordered by the superior commander. If no communications exist between the superior commander and the commander of the encircled force, the latter makes his decision to break out based on his superior's intent.
