The answer is mass. It is one of the principles of war which means to concentrate combat power at the decisive place and time. What it meant from the military perspective is that you bring together whatever forces are necessary to accomplish a desired result. An example would be moving forces from diverse locations to all take part in one set-up, such as the seaborne attack of Normandy in three locations with hundreds of ships coupled with airborne troops jumping behindhand enemy lines. The combination of the two achieved results far superior to either one, and if these pieces hadn't come together at the same time (bad weather during the channel crossing) or at the correct place (mistakes in the drop zone coordinates away from targets), the overall effect is weakened and could even lead to a non-victory: not necessarily a downfall but certainly a failure to accomplish the mission.

The mass principle of joint operations has a purpose to concentrate the effects of combat power at the most advantageous place and time to produce decisive results. This principle brings together whatever forces are necessary to accomplish the desired result.

EXPLANATION:

The mass principle is one of nine principles of joint operations used by the US Armed Forces in a war situation. To achieve war, all the elements of combat power will be synchronized so that they can create an effect on an enemy force in the shortest time possible. This principle also allows the army to limit exposure to enemy fire as the mass principle can enable numerically inferior forces rather than concentrating forces.

Besides mass principle, there are still eight other principles of joint operations that are usually used by the US Armed Forces:

  • Objective – Directing every military operation toward a clearly defined and attainable objective.
  • Offensive – Seizing and holding the initiative to achieve desired results.
  • Maneuver – Placing the enemy in a position of disadvantage through the flexible application of combat power.
  • Economy of Force – Allocating minimum essential combat power to secondary efforts.
  • Unity of Command – All of the forces must be under one responsible commander.
  • Surprise – Striking the enemy at a place or time for which they are unprepared.
  • Security – Reducing vulnerability to hostile acts or any disadvantage surprises.
  • Simplicity – Obtaining a clear plan and concise orders to ensure a thorough understanding.
