It is because Brutus thinks that his army and completely ready for battle at that point, and that they should seize the opportunity, rather than letting the enemy come to them.
Brutus was the most important of the conspirators who murdered Caesar. (Without Brutus' support the other conspirators would probably have been too scared to act).When Caesar's ghost appears to Brutus at his tent he comes with the message:thou shalt see me at Philippi.Since Brutus will be killed in the battle with Octavian's army at Philippi, this is correct.
In Act 4 scene 3 of Julius Caesar Brutus and Cassius get into a argument. Brutus instigated the argument when he saw Cassius attempt to steal, feeling the motives for murdering Caesar was misconstrued.

At the final battle- as the forces of Brutus and Cassius go against the triumvirate of Octavius, Antony and Lepidus- Brutus sees and opening in the flank of Octavius' army and attacks. Though Brutus strikes a great blow against their opposition, the attack was so early and leaves Cassius' forces enclosed by Antony's army. As his camp is set ablaze in the distance, and army approaches. Cassius sends Titinius to check to see if the army is Brutus' or not. Messala watches as Titinius rides off on the distance, and reports to Brutus what appears to be Titinius being ran down on horseback. A cheer is heard in the distance, which is taken by Cassius as a celebratory sound from Antony's army that they have killed Titinius. Out of grief of sending one of his closest friends to his death, and by the apparent doom of the situation, Cassius has Messala run him through with the same blade he used to kill Caesar, setting his bondman free with his death. *** p.s. It turns out Titinius didn't die, and that he was greeted with cheers by Brutus' army, but good ole' hasty Cassius had to go and kill himself honorably before he was captured... fool :) *** titinius did die, he killed himself because he saw the dead body of Cassius
Brutus makes the tactical error of underestimating the loyalty and resolve of his enemy, particularly by allowing his forces to engage in a battle at Philippi rather than waiting for a more advantageous position. He also fails to secure proper communication and coordination with his fellow generals, leading to disarray among his troops. This miscalculation ultimately contributes to the defeat of his army and the downfall of the conspirators against Julius Caesar.

In the initial battle that occurred at Philippi (in October of 42 BC/BCE) between opposed Roman armies, Marcus Brutus commanded approximately half (about eight legions) of the entire force available to the so-called 'Liberator' army, the other half of which was led by Cassius. Achieving success against the enemy on his front while Cassius' force was routed (with Cassius himself committing suicide in response), he then commanded the entirety of the force that remained -- only to be routed by Octavian and Antony in the second Battle of Philippi a few weeks later.
Brutus decided to march from Sardis to Philippi because he received intelligence that Octavian and Antony were advancing towards him. By moving to Philippi, Brutus aimed to confront his enemies head-on and prevent them from gaining more ground. Additionally, Philippi offered a strategic location for battle due to its geography and resources.
Messala and Brutus have letters saying that Octavius and Antony have raised up an army and are marching toward Philippi. They have also used proscription and bills of outlawry to put one hundred senators to death.
On the Plains of Philippi, Mark Antony's and Octavius' forces face Brutus' and Cassius' forces. The two sides insult each other, Mark Antony and Octavius then leaving with their army.Later in battle with Mark Antony and Octavius, Brutus sends orders via messenger Messala to Cassius' forces on the other side of the battlefield.Cassius' forces are losing ground to Mark Antony's forces. Brutus has defeated Octavius' forces but instead of reinforcing Cassius' forces, have instead sought out spoils or bounty from the field.
Mainly for observation of enemy forces, navigation for soldiers on the field and communications.

Cassius wants to wait where they are so that they are nicely rested and fully energized while Antony's troops would come tired. The battle would then be won by them. On the other hand, Brutus feels that they should march to Antony. This is because the people living in that area were only on their side as they were forced to be. Thus, if Antony marched towards them, they would not be able to recruit many people on the way making their army very big and unbeatable. Also, they would be well refreshed. In the end, it was Brutus' plan that was chosen.
No. Infiltration is used to penetrate enemy defenses and security.
