Chapter 6 Traffic control. Guides from the stationary unit pick up passing elements at each contact point and guide them through the position. The passing unit commander provides the stationary unit with the type, number, and order of vehicles passing through each contact point. Communications. The OPORD must identify, synchronize, and integrate communications architecture, digital systems, COMSEC instructions, recognition signals, and communications procedures and requirements. Effective communications planning and coordination ensure that units share data and pertinent combat information, maintain an up-to-date combat outpost, and avoid or prevent fratricide. Engineer support. A passage of lines may require either the reduction of some obstacles or the opening and closing of lanes through friendly obstacles. The passing and stationary units’ staff engineers coordinate via digital means or face-to-face meetings. As a minimum, this coordination addresses the following: Location and status of friendly and enemy tactical obstacles. Routes and locations of lanes and bypasses through friendly and enemy obstacles. Responsibility to close lanes through obstacles. Transfer of obstacle and passage lane responsibilities. Location of lane-marking materials. Placement of far and near recognition markers. Employment of deception and obscurants to confuse or deceive the enemy as to actual unit locations and passage points. Sustainment. The sustainment plan is integral to a successful passage of lines. Sustainment assets are positioned to support the passage. Maintenance collection points and emergency refueling points are positioned where they can best keep lanes open and vehicles moving. In addition, because a number of ground ambulances from the supporting medical company will be using the same road networks, coordination and synchronization are essential. The sustainment elements of the stationary force provide area support to the passing force. This preserves continued mobility for the passing force. Liaison officers. The troop commander designates a representative to perform the critical duties of an LNO. The commander normally performs liaison duties in coordinating a forward passage of lines, while the XO coordinates a rearward passage. If the commander or XO is unavailable, a PL performs liaison duties. Liaison officers are normally located at critical points during the passage. CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, AND NUCLEAR CONSIDERATIONS 6-86. Because of potential congestion of units at passage points and along routes, stationary and passing units must take protective measures against CBRN attack. Techniques to reduce vulnerability include the following: To minimize exposure time, passing units move as rapidly as possible through passage points and along passage routes to their RPs. Passing and stationary units conduct CBRN monitoring. Passing and stationary units put on chemical-protective clothing as prescribed by the commander. If required, the stationary unit requests assistance through channels for decontamination of the passing unit. Units normally conduct operational decontamination and then move to a rear assembly area for thorough decontamination. The DRT does not have the internal assets for thorough decontamination of personnel or equipment; it requires assistance from a chemical company. FRATRICIDE AVOIDANCE 6-87. Since passage of lines during BHO is often conducted in contact with the threat, extreme care must be taken to avoid fratricide. All units involved must know the correct recognition signals as well as the exact number of vehicles and time of passage. There will be times when some elements fail to receive 6-16 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Other Tactical Operations necessary information or when stragglers are unaware of the current operation. Planning and coordination must cover the following considerations: Fratricide assessment. Vehicle marking systems. Obstacle marking system. Navigational aids such as GPS. Threat situation and composition. Obscuration (limited visibility). IFF techniques for ground forces. Effective TACSOP. Direct fire plans for both units. Indirect fire considerations, including specific procedures for requesting and clearing indirect fires. Communications procedures and potential problems. 6-88. For more detailed information concerning fratricide and risk reduction measures, refer to Appendix A, FM 3-21.10. SURVIVAL, EVASION, AND RECOVERY 6-89. Survival and evasion are processes whereby Soldiers isolated in hostile or unfriendly territory avoid capture and return to areas under friendly control. Personnel recovery is the return of such evaders to friendly control, with or without aid, as the result of plans, operations, and individual actions by recovery planners, conventional or unconventional forces, and sometimes the evaders themselves. Evasion is considered the highest form of resistance. Both evasion and recovery are integral to military operations. 6-90. Personnel assigned to reconnaissance units are considered high-risk-of-capture and subject to isolation in hostile territory. Therefore, they should prepare for the possibility of being in an evasion situation. Successful evasion is dependent on detailed planning, as well as peacetime training and proficiency in survival and evasion and recovery tactics, techniques and procedures. The DRT commander must ensure his units are trained on evasion techniques. He must also be prepared to initiate personnel recovery operations if necessary. (See FM 3-50.3 and FM 3-50.1 for detailed information on survival, evasion, and personnel recovery.) 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 6-17
