A '''meeting engagement''' is one of several types of military [[tactics]] in which the strength and disposition of the enemy is uncertain. In the strictest sense, a meeting engagement takes place when one force, not in full combat formation, comes into sudden contact with an enemy force. This differs from a [[movement to contact]], where contact is expected but the disposition of the enemy is not known, and a [[reconnaissance in force]], where it is not certain if the enemy is present but the friendly force is in a flexible combat formation. | A '''meeting engagement''' is one of several types of military [[tactics]] in which the strength and disposition of the enemy is uncertain.
