Como sabemos, el APTC (avance para tomar contacto) es un movimiento táctico que ejecutan las tropas para establecer el contacto con el enemigo, o para restablecerlo cuando se haya perdido. Su finalidad es establecer contacto con el enemigo sobre el cual el comandante conducirá el ataque principal, por lo tanto, hasta que ello no se materialice la exploración será quien lleve el esfuerzo principal. 1, record 1, Spanish, - avance%20para%20tomar%20contacto
