Assault Element. Most combat patrols are platoon-sized, reinforced with crew-served weapons. d. The platoon leader must determine how large an element his ambush can engage successfully. The assault element seizes and secures the objective and protects special teams as they complete their assigned actions on the objective. c. Security Man. All purposes can be referenced with study material in IN ALC labeled "Patrolling" PowerPoint in the shared drive. This formation can be used in close terrain that restricts the enemy's ability to maneuver against the platoon, or in open terrain provided a means of keeping the enemy in the kill zone can be effected. The en route recorder records all information collected during the mission.  b. d. All squad leaders move to the left flank of their squad sector. (function(src){var a=document.createElement("script");a.type="text/javascript";a.async=true;a.src=src;var b=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];b.parentNode.insertBefore(a,b)})("//experience.tinypass.com/xbuilder/experience/load?aid=bYdYZQml5V"); To accomplish the patrolling mission, a platoon or squad must perform specific tasks; for example, secure itself, danger area crossings, or rally points; reconnoiter the patrol objective; breach, support, or assault. He must also plan a backup method for initiating the ambush should the primary means fail. Reconnaissance Patrols Patrols that depart the main body with the intention of avoiding direct combat with the enemy while seeing out information or confirming the accuracy of previously-gathered information are called reconnaissance patrols. Emplace aiming stakes. The mark is by prearranged signal. The MAW can be used to initiate the ambush, but its signature and slow rate of fire make it less desirable. The leader should designate a release point halfway between the ORP and the objective. c. The platoon leader also coordinates patrol activities with the leaders of other units that will be patrolling in adjacent areas at the same time. (2) En route rally point. He tells the commander everything of tactical value concerning the friendly unit's area of responsibility. They do this by "boxing" the area around the last clear sign (Figure 3-19). rally points. } He signals the surveillance team to rejoin the assault element. Establishing a security-listening halt beyond the friendly unit's final protective fires. a. One buddy team provides security for the squad leader, the pace man, and RATELO. EPW teams are responsible for controlling enemy prisoners IAW the five S's and the leader's guidance. e. En Route Recorder. The key planning considerations include--. He gives the count to the guide, tells him how long to wait at the passage point (or when to return), and confirms the running password. Moving Elements. Coordination. Enforcement of camouflage, noise, and light discipline. b. (2) Search from one side to the other and mark bodies that have been searched to ensure the area is thoroughly covered. (Figure 3-2.) The leader should also designate an alternate pace man. This may be used to get soldiers quickly through a compromised passage of friendly lines. (2) Employing common countertracking techniques. CEO Compensation and America's Growing Economic Divide. He normally positions them both with the support element of the principal site. A standing patrol, also known as observation post/listening post, is a static group whose intent is to provide early warning or to safeguard some geographical structures. b. b. However, attention to detail, common sense, staying alert, logic, and knowledge of the environment and enemy habits allow soldiers to obtain better information from signs they find in the battle area. e. The platoon leader and support element or weapons squad leader start at 6 o'clock and move in a clockwise manner adjusting the perimeter (meeting each squad leader at his squad's left flank). The platoon leader will take different elements with him. 2d Squad marks where they cut the trail (Point A) and begins tracking. Squad leaders supervise the placement of aiming stakes and ensure Claymores are put out. The leader considers the following when planning an antiarmor ambush. Aid and Litter Team. It looks for signs of the enemy scattering, backtracking, doglegging, or using any other countertracking method. The leader sends his R&S teams from the ORP along routes that form a boxed-in area. Once all information is collected, it is disseminated to every soldier. (1) Linear. e. Challenge and Password Forward of Friendly Lines. The departure from friendly lines must be thoroughly planned and coordinated. A screening patrol is generally composed of observation posts, but may also combine with other patrols, and their aim is to screen a large area. NOTE 2: If the platoon leader feels that the platoon may have been tracked, he may elect to                maintain 100 percent security and wait awhile in total silence before sending out the R&S                teams. (1) Fan method. d. Surveillance Team. (3) The leader must consider the requirement to secure the platoon at points along the route, at danger areas, at the ORP, along enemy avenues of approach into the objective, and elsewhere during the mission. The leader must carefully position all antiarmor weapons to ensure the best shot (rear, flank, or top). b. Reconnaissance and Security Team. NOTE 1: The distance the R&S team moves away from the squad's sector will vary depending on                the terrain and vegetation (anywhere from 200 to 400 meters). Platoons conduct area ambushes where enemy movement is largely restricted to trails or streams (Figure 3-15). The leader designates a time for all teams to link-up. Alert Plan. The leader may include a surveillance team in his reconnaissance of the objective from the ORP. c. The platoon moves into the patrol base as depicted in Figure 3-22. If the sign is found at the site of enemy activity, the exact occurrence can often be reconstructed. They carry canteens in an empty rucksack. c. Withdrawal Plan. Plans to establish a patrol base must include selecting an alternate patrol base site. It is normally selected by the commander of the friendly unit. Second, he rolls the body over (if on the stomach) by laying on top and when given the go ahead by the guard (who is positioned at the enemy's head), the searcher rolls the body over on him. As the platoon goes on, this process does also, and the tracker's knowledge of the enemy grows. Antiarmor ambushes are established when the mission is to destroy enemy armored or mechanized forces. This should also be a casualty-producing device such as a machine gun. Transportation support, including transportation to and from the rehearsal site. The platoon leader must make every attempt to maintain squad and fire team integrity as he assigns tasks to subordinate units. They establish an area ambush as described above. The squad leader attempts to maintain fire team and, if possible, buddy team integrity. Most combat patrols are platoon-sized, reinforced with crew-served weapons. Types of Rally Points. (b) Pass by at a distance and designate using arm-and-hand signals. The site's suitability must be confirmed; it must be secured before occupation. Combat Patrols in Destiny 2 are a new type of quest elements that give players unique rewards in exchange for completing a more difficult variant of the Patrol Missions. They take note of the radio frequency, SOI, and maps. The leader must consider additional weapons available to supplement its fires. The platoon should use a different return route. All soldiers accomplish the following daily: shave; brush teeth; wash face, hands, armpits, groin, and feet; and darken (polish) boots. G.A.M.E.R. It maintains security for the ORP while the rest of the platoon prepares to leave. He notes the terrain and identifies where he can place mines or Claymores to cover dead space. The leader of 1st Squad then requests further orders from the ORP. To reorganize after infiltrating an enemy area. a. Reconnaissance Team. The demolition team prepares dual-primed explosives (C4 with two M60 fuse lighters and time fuse) and awaits the signal to initiate. h. The security elements rejoin the platoon after the assault element has cleared through the kill zone. Squads do not execute raids. Police officers are sworn to protect and serve. j. Characteristics 1. The remaining squads and attachments provide security. Noise and light discipline are maintained at all times. The basic task of a patrol is to follow a known route at which sent to investigate some feature of interest, or to fighting patrols (US combat patrol), sent to find and engage the enemy. Just about anything you can think of. Patrol formations are often used during movement in hostile terrain. The principle audiences for ATP 3-21.8 are commanders, staffs, and leaders who are responsible for planning, preparing, executing, and assessing operations of the Infantry platoon and squad. WARNING____________________________________________________________ Reentry of friendly lines at night is dangerous and should only be attempted when it is essential to the success of the patrol. Besides the common elements, combat patrols also have the following elements and teams. It can be a stake driven into the ground, several stacked rocks, or a twist of grass tied up and bent at an angle. c. After observing the objective for a specified time, all elements return to the ORP and report their observations to the leader or the recorder. Where possible, in assigning tasks, the leader should maintain squad and fire team integrity. If a flank security team makes contact, it fights as long as possible without becoming decisively engaged. Using visual signals, any soldier alerts the platoon that an enemy force is in sight. It can be by chance or the team can deliberately choose a route that cuts across one or more probable enemy routes. Besides the common elements, tracking patrols have a security team and a tracking team. The best security companies emphasise the importance of proper patrol technique for one main reason. (2) L-shaped. h. The platoon leader must have a good plan to signal the advance of the assault element into the kill zone to begin its search and collection activities. The sequence of platoon actions for a raid is similar to those for an ambush. Times that the targeted unit will reach or pass specified points along the route. (2) The plan must address the handling of prisoners who are captured as a result of chance contact and are not part of the planned mission. b. Tracking Team. The flank security teams may also place out antiarmor mines after the ambush has been initiated if the enemy is known to have armor capability. When a fire team conducts a reconnaissance patrol it operates as a single R&S team. i. Once the enemy realizes he is being followed, he will try to evade or attack the tracking team (Figure 3-20). (4) Identify and collect equipment to be carried back. When required, reconnaissance and security teams move close to the road to reconnoiter key areas. The platoon leader may direct a portion of the support element to assist the security team in breaking contact. If the kill zone is within range of light antiarmor weapons, each soldier fires one during the ambush. He identifies those tasks the platoon must perform and decides which elements will perform them. b. As with other missions, the leader tasks elements of his platoon in accordance with his estimate of the situation. Patrols are classified according to the nature of the mission assigned. Establish a location for EPWs and enemy wounded who will not be taken back that provides them cover, yet allows them to be found easily by their units. There are various types of patrols, including combat, clearing, reconnaissance, standing and screening patrol. The platoon returns to the ORP in effect, collects and disseminates all information, reorganizes as necessary and continues the mission. g. Because of the speed with which other armored forces can reinforce the enemy in the ambush site, the leader should plan to keep the engagement short, and the withdrawal quick. b. He sets up the plan to ensure positions are checked periodically, OPs are relieved periodically, and ensure that at least one leader is up at all times. He may use a command detonated Claymore. Within each sector, the platoon uses the converging routes method to reconnoiter to an intermediate link-up point where it collects and disseminates the information gathered to that point before reconnoitering the next sector. All other soldiers remain in place to provide security. All lateral movement should be outside of small-arms weapons range. raid. However, the units being tracked show signs of one soldier wearing boots with an unfamiliar tread. Patrols vary in size, depending on the type, mission, and distance from the parent unit. (Figure 3-16). Prepare it for transport. zone reconnaissance. The platoon leader should consider the following sequence of actions when planning a deliberate area ambush. Enemy bodies should be marked (for example, fold arms over chest) to avoid duplication. The friendly unit must acknowledge the message and confirm that guides are waiting before the platoon moves from the RRP. h. Contingency Plans. l. Actions back at the ORP include accountability of personnel and equipment and recovery of rucksacks and other equipment left at the ORP during the ambush. The leader must plan carefully to ensure that he has identified and assigned all required tasks in the most efficient way. b. They avoid combat except for They then engage to prevent enemy forces from escaping or reinforcing. Everyone is challenged. (2) The forward unit leader provides the platoon leader with the following: b. He is normally the assault element leader. warning order. The leader ensures that he has assigned all essential tasks to be performed on the objective, at rally points, at danger areas, at security or surveillance locations, along the route(s), and at passage lanes. f. The leader initiates the ambush when the majority of the enemy force enters the kill zone. The terrain for the rehearsal should be similar to that at the objective, to include buildings and fortifications if necessary. When 2d Squad confirms the enemy unit's direction, speed, and estimated distance, 2d Squad gives this information to the ORP. Types Of Patrol There are five general types of patrol: Assassination, Collection, Combat, Scan, and Survey. A combat patrol is a group with sufficient size (usually platoon or company) and resources to raid or ambush a specific enemy. The assault element may comprise two-man (buddy teams) or four-man (fire team) search teams to search bunkers, buildings, or tunnels on the objective. Smoke may not be visible to the support element. The text of the Patrol screen will tell you as much. Directs the assault element to move into the kill zone and conduct a hasty search of the enemy soldiers. (1) Collect and secure all EPWs and move them out of the kill zone before searching bodies. They should know what actions are required there and how long they are to wait at each rally point before moving to another. The assault element must be prepared to move across the kill zone using individual movement techniques if there is any return fire once they begin to search. All other weapons open fire once the ambush has begun. The squad leader must find a site that restricts the movement of armored vehicles out of the kill zone. j. This provides both flanking (long leg) and enfilading fires (short leg) against the enemy. The platoon sergeant and the last fire team will get rid of any tracks from the turn into the patrol base. The leader directs the security elements to move a given distance, set up, and rejoin the platoon on order or, after the ambush (the sound of firing ceases). TYPES OF PATROL Patrols are classified according to the nature of the mission assigned. A patrol base must be located so it allows the unit to accomplish its mission. A route reconnaissance is conducted to obtain detailed information about one route and all the adjacent terrain or to locate sites for emplacing obstacles. One or more of these techniques can be combined when the enemy attacks or tries to evade being tracked. The platoon withdraws from the ambush site using a covered and concealed route. The three types of combat patrols are raid patrols, ambush patrols (both of which are sent out to conduct special purpose attacks), and security patrols. i. Leaders plan and prepare for patrols using the troop-leading procedure and the estimate of the situation. Patrolling is one of the major activities that a captain can do in orbit. Small groups or individual units are deployed from a larger formation to achieve a specific objective and then return. (Squads occupying patrol base on their own do not send out R&S teams at night.). If possible, soldiers should interview someone who has seen them. On an area reconnaissance, he normally stays in the ORP. The platoon moves parallel to the road using a covered and concealed route. First, he kicks the enemy weapon away. Patrolling is a military tactic. This precludes uncertainty over which one soldiers should move to if contact is made immediately after the leader designates a new rally point. When the platoon receives the mission to conduct a tracking patrol, it assigns the task of tracking to only one squad. Ambushes are classified by category--hasty or deliberate; type--point or area; and formation--linear or L-shaped. NATO forces use the patrol report form specified by STANAG 2003. If the platoon makes contact while crossing the danger area and control is lost, soldiers on either side move to the rally point nearest them. At night he should use other backup signals to make contact with friendly units. This ensures that the enemy unit is still together and that 2d Squad has found the correct trail. The unit's and the leader's actions on chance contact while the leader is gone. He may move them on one route, posting them as they move, or he may direct them to move on separate routes to their assigned locations. c. Once the friendly unit acknowledges the return of the platoon, the platoon leader issues a five-point contingency plan and moves with his RATELO and a two-man (buddy team) security element on a determined azimuth and pace to the reentry point. The security teams provide security for the squad leader, RATELO, and pace man and also provide rear and flank security. c. Security Team. The L-shaped ambush can be used at a sharp bend in a trail, road, or stream. This may include all members of the platoon or the leaders, RATELOs, and any attached personnel. In an ambush using a linear formation, the assault and support elements deploy parallel to the enemy's route (Figure 3-11). task organizations by leader. This information must be passed out to all soldiers and practiced during rehearsals. Support that the unit can provide; for example, fire support, litter teams, guides, communications, and reaction force. He sends other teams along routes through the area within the box. Patrol types. (The assault element must be able to move quickly through its own protective obstacles.). (Figure 3-9.). (TM) engine. Personnel status at the conclusion of the patrol mission, including the disposition of casualties. In his plan for the depature of friendly lines, the leader should consider the following sequence of actions: The leader considers the use and locations of rally points. The two types are Combat … (If time and terrain permit, the squad or platoon may place out Claymores and use them to initiate the ambush.). The platoon leader must consider the requirements for assaulting the objective, supporting the assault by fire, and securing the platoon throughout the mission. c. The leader determines the best nearby location for a hasty ambush. Name three types of patrols: Combat: Raid, Ambush, and Security patrols. The security element must also keep the platoon leader in formed if any enemy forces are following the lead force. Detailed description of terrain and enemy positions that were identified. script.setAttribute("src", "//www.npttech.com/advertising.js"); The platoon sergeant ensures the platoon slit trench is dug and marked at night with a chemical light inside the trench. The platoon leader leaves a two-man OP at the turn. types of patrols. For example, reports might show that the enemy wears sandals like the natives in the area. The trailing squads occupy from 2 to 6 o'clock and 6 to 10 o'clock, respectively. Detailed information on friendly positions and obstacle locations. The leader selects the tentative site from a map or by aerial reconnaissance. Making contact with friendly guides at the contact point. The leader designates en route rally points every 100 to 400 meters (based on the terrain, vegetation, and visibility). He uses arm-and-hand signals to direct soldiers to covered and concealed positions. (1) The platoon can use the odd-number system. d. The leader should submit the patrol report in an overlay format LAW FM 5-34 or GTA 5-2-5 (Figure 3-10). area reconnaissance. Emplace Claymores, mines, or other explosives in dead space within the kill zone. A platoon is the smallest unit to conduct an area ambush. A route reconnaissance results in detailed information about trafficability, enemy activity, NBC contamination, and aspects of adjacent terrain from both the enemy and friendly viewpoint. This soldier's only task is to follow the main trail of the main body of the unit being tracked. (b) The searchers then conduct a systematic search of the dead soldier from head to toe removing all papers and anything new (different type rank, shoulder boards, different unit patch, pistol, weapon, or NVD). If the platoon leader and support element leader find a better location for one of the machine guns, they reposition it. The location may be given as a grid coordinate or an objective on an overlay. Patrols with missions requiring combat or a strong likelihood of combat are usually stronger than patrols on reconnaissance missions. Routes. Issue a five-point contingency plan before departure. In addition, a fighting patrol is dispatched to find and engage the enemy. They then reoccupy the initial rally point and the leader reports to higher headquarters. The platoon or squad leader should designate how often the pace man is to report the pace to him. c. Support Element. The objective rally point (ORP) is a point out of sight, sound, and small-arms range of the objective area. There are three main types of dismounted patrols: 1. The tracker determines as much as possible about the enemy before following them. Assaulting into the kill zone to search dead and wounded, assemble prisoners, and collect equipment. Fire support on the objective and along the planned routes, including alternate routes. h. The platoon leader reports to the command post of the friendly unit. The attachment of soldiers with special skills or equipment; for example, engineers, sniper teams, scout dog teams, FOs, or interpreters. c. Multiple Area Reconnaissance. The new Warhammer 40,000 features bespoke Combat Patrol missions both for matched play and for narrative Crusade games, and we can’t wait to try them all out. The configuration of the platoon must provide security for the tracking team to the front and flanks as it follows the trail. document.cookie = "__adblocker=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT; path=/"; Recon: area, zone, route, objective, to the other and bodies.
