The general tactic is to leave some large portion of your force (half) in
a overwatch position where they can react to anything fired at the moving
half while you are moving on the offensive.

Using combined arms and aircraft:
Helicopters, Infantry etc: you just keep some back where they can see and react

Aircraft: don't really work well with this kind of requirement.
