Chapter 8 time than service station resupply. At times, leaders use the in-position resupply method, although it takes more time to accomplish. Return to the Logistic Release Point 8-41. Once resupply operations are complete, the LOGPAC vehicles are prepared for the return trip. <strong>Troop</strong> vehicles requiring evacuation for maintenance are lined up and prepared for towing. Human remains and personal effects are carried on cargo trucks, fuel trucks, or disabled vehicles. Enemy prisoners of war ride in the cargo trucks. They are guarded by the walking wounded or by other troop personnel. Supply requests and personnel action documents are consolidated for forwarding to the field trains, where the appropriate staff section processes them for the next LOGPAC. The supply sergeant leads the LOGPAC back to the LRP. The LOGPAC keeps moving through the LRP to avoid interdiction by enemy forces or artillery. Whenever possible, the reunited LOGPAC convoy returns to the BSA together. When METT-TC dictates, or when the LOGPAC arrives too late to rejoin the larger convoy, the vehicles return to the BSA on their own. LOGPAC SURVIVABILITY 8-42. The very nature of an ambush—a surprise attack from a concealed position—places the ambushed unit at a disadvantage. Combat situations often prevent a convoy from taking all the measures necessary to avoid being ambushed; therefore, it takes all possible measures to reduce its vulnerability. These are generally passive measures, supplemented by active measures, taken to defeat or escape from an ambush. (For information on the types of ambushes, see FM 3-21.8.) 8-43. No single defensive measure, or combination of measures, prevents or effectively counters all ambushes or IED detonations. The effectiveness of counterambush measures is directly related to the state of Soldiers’ training and the ability of their leaders. Avoiding an Ambush 8-44. Leaders and Soldiers take the following actions to avoid an ambush: Select the best convoy route. Maintain vigilant observation of the route ahead of the convoy to detect anything suspicious. Conduct map (digital) reconnaissance. Conduct ground reconnaissance. Conduct aerial reconnaissance. Obtain current intelligence information. Use OPSEC to deny the threat foreknowledge of the convoy. Present a formidable target by: Manning all crew-served weapons. Maintaining 360-degree security. Remaining vigilant and alert. Maintaining a disciplined, aggressive posture. Never routinely schedule convoys by time or route. Reducing the Effectiveness of an Ambush 8-45. Leaders and Soldiers take the following actions to reduce the effectiveness of an ambush: Harden vehicles. Cover loads. Space prime targets throughout the convoy. Wear protective equipment. Use assistant drivers. Carry troops and supplies. Use prearranged signals to warn the convoy of an ambush or IED. 8-8 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Coordinate for escort vehicles. Coordinate for reaction force support. Thoroughly brief all convoy personnel on immediate action drills. Rehearse immediate-action drills. Maintain the interval between vehicles. Move through the kill zone, if possible. Stop short of the ambush or IED. Do not block the road. Rapidly respond to orders. Aggressively return fire. Counterattack with escort vehicles. Call for fires support. Call in CAS. Call for the reaction force. RESUPPLY OPERATIONS Sustainment 8-46. Resupply of critical combat supplies is accomplished using standardized procedures to rearm, refuel, and refit the troop as fast as possible to sustain its continuity of effort. For the DRT, resupply operations are complicated by limited sustainment assets organic to the troop, locations of the platoons and other elements of the squadron in relation to friendly maneuver units, and the requirements to secure resupply assets that go to the troop’s forward positions. Routine resupply (Classes I, III, V, and IX; mail; and other items required by the troop to effectively conduct the mission) occurs when the troop is out of contact range or when the troop commander decides the risk of not conducting resupply outweighs the risk of interrupting ongoing operations. 8-47. During mission preparation, the squadron staff conducts detailed planning and coordination for combat resupply of the troops forward of the FEBA. Resupply is often conducted prior to mission execution and sustains the units for the entire mission. The DRT often carries a three-day supply with plans to be extracted prior to the supply being used. If necessary, resupply is conducted forward of the FEBA in an assembly area. When resupply of the troop in an assembly area is not feasible, the troop XO and 1SG, along with the squadron staff, plan and coordinate for ground infiltration or aerial insertion of resupply at designated drop-off or cache points. ROUTINE RESUPPLY 8-48. Routine resupply operations cover items in Classes I, III, V, and IX, as well as mail and any other items requested by the troop. Resupply operations normally occur once a day. Whenever possible, routine resupply should be conducted daily, ideally during periods of limited visibility. Methods 8-49. As directed by the DRT commander or XO, the 1SG establishes the troop resupply point. He uses either a resupply point (service station method) or delivers resupply directly to the platoon (tailgate method). Occasionally the in-position resupply method is required. He briefs each LOGPAC driver on which method to use. When he has the resupply point ready, the 1SG informs the commander. The troop commander then directs each platoon or element to conduct resupply based on the tactical situation. Service Station Resupply 8-50. The service station method allows platoons, squads, or Soldiers to move individually to a centrally located resupply point. This method requires the Soldiers to leave their fighting positions. Depending on the tactical situation, a section or platoon moves out of its position, conducts resupply operations, and moves back into position. The squads or platoons rotate individually to eat, pick up mail and sundries, and replenish water. This process continues until the entire platoon has received its supplies.
