Defines battle rhythm

Battle rhythm is a deliberate daily cycle of command, staff, and unit activities intended to synchronize current and future operations [usarmy2014fm6].

As an organizational device, battle rhythm is how a headquarters manages its most constrained resource: time. It turns continuous reality into discrete moments where information is assessed, decisions are made, and guidance is distributed.
