and moving near or through friendly EAs and BPs. Lanes are restrictive; however, they should<br />

ideally be wide enough to allow the passing unit to move in a tactical formation. The passage<br />

lane begins at the passage point and ends at the rear of the stationary unit BPs. The passage is<br />

considered complete when the moving unit exits the lane.<br />

Routes. Routes are used to move the passing unit through the stationary unit. The number of<br />

routes designated will vary based on METT-TC, but as a general rule, multiple lanes/routes<br />

should be planned to facilitate rapid passage of moving units and to avoid unnecessary massing<br />

of units. The stationary unit may escort or guide the passing unit along the lane/route.<br />

Assembly area. An assembly area in the AO of the stationary unit allows the passing unit to<br />

conduct hasty reorganization and emergency sustainment actions. This assembly area is<br />

temporary in nature.<br />

Infiltration points. Leaders should plan infiltration points and lanes for personnel unable to<br />

complete the passage with their unit. Passing unit liaison officers (LNO) may remain located<br />

with stationary unit CPs to serve as a point of contact for infiltrating personnel/equipment.<br />

Personnel who infiltrate must have some way of contacting the stationary unit before crossing<br />

into friendly territory. (See Section V and VI of this chapter, covering infiltration and<br />

exfiltration.)<br />
