Chapter 3 Security requirements and techniques for combat trains or supporting sustainment elements. Movement and positioning of trains and sustainment supply points. Resupply, including emergency resupply and caches, covering the following: Caches for Class I, III, IV, and VIII and other mission-specific items such as batteries. Drop points away from the platoon vehicle hide position and OPs. Casualty consolidation and evacuation. Equipment and supply destruction criteria. Communications considerations include the following: Positioning of the DRT commander, XO, or CP and, if necessary, retrans to maintain communications with the reconnaissance squadron and other designated elements. Method and techniques for communications between CP vehicles, platoon CP vehicles and dismounted elements. Responsibilities and procedures for integrating supporting analog platoon elements into the troop digital network. 3-55. Critical tasks of the zone reconnaissance include: Find and report all enemy forces within the zone. Clear all enemy forces in the designated AO within the capabilities of the unit conducting the reconnaissance. Determine the trafficability of all the terrain within the zone, including built-up areas. Locate and determine the extent of all contaminated areas in the zone. Evaluate and classify all bridges, defiles, overpasses, underpasses, and culverts in the zone. Locate any fords, crossing sites, or bypasses for existing and reinforcing obstacles (including built-up areas) in the zone. Locate all obstacles and create lanes as specified in execution orders. Report the above information to the commander directing the zone reconnaissance, to include providing a sketch map or overlay. AREA RECONNAISSANCE 3-56. An area reconnaissance is a form of reconnaissance that focuses on obtaining detailed information about terrain or enemy activity within a prescribed area. This area may include a town, a ridgeline, woods, an airhead, or any other feature critical to operations. The area may consist of a single point, such as a bridge or an installation. Areas are normally smaller than zones and are not unusually contiguous to other friendly areas targeted for reconnaissance. Because the area is smaller, reconnaissance moves faster than a zone reconnaissance. (See FM 3-90.) ORGANIZATION OF THE DISMOUNTED RECONNAISSANCE TROOP 3-57. The DRT conducting an area reconnaissance organizes according to the size, geography, physical infrastructure, and social dynamics of the area to be reconnoitered. The troop can conduct decentralized reconnaissance in multiple areas simultaneously, either by maneuvering elements through the areas or by establishing stationary OPs. GRAPHIC CONTROL MEASURES 3-58. Area reconnaissance may be controlled using an LD, lateral boundaries, and an LOA. Within the area, the troop commander can further divide the AO with additional lateral boundaries to define platoon AOs. Phase lines and contact points can be designated to coordinate the movement of elements operating abreast. Critical terrain features or recognizable landmarks can be designated as checkpoints. Fire support coordination measures can be included. The example in Figure 3-2 shows a DRT conducting area reconnaissance of an area subdivided into smaller AOs, with a SUAS conducting a forward screen. 3-12 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
CRITICAL TASKS Figure 3-2. Example of a DRT conducting area reconnaissance <strong>Reconnaissance</strong> Operations 3-59. The tasks accomplished as part of an area reconnaissance are basically the same as those for a zone reconnaissance, though the scope of tasks will differ. In addition, an area reconnaissance is normally conducted on a smaller scale than a zone reconnaissance. EXAMPLE OF A DISMOUNTED RECONNAISSANCE TROOP AREA RECONNAISSANCE 3-60. As with the zone reconnaissance, the DRT commander ensures that the troop has all known information and intelligence pertaining to the AO. The reconnaissance squadron may designate troop infiltration lanes. The troop commander determines the infiltration method and sequence. At times, the commander may be required to identify the infiltration lanes. If so, he conducts reconnaissance during his troop-leading procedures to identify and select infiltration lanes. He coordinates for support from other collection assets available to the squadron or IBCT to assist with this reconnaissance. Information from signal intelligence and imagery intelligence can assist the DRT commander in developing and completing his scheme of maneuver during troop-leading procedures. He uses imagery intelligence, along with a detailed map reconnaissance, in determining how terrain supports movement. The commander views the terrain not only from the perspective of how it supports his mission success, but also from the enemy’s perspective. He should focus measurement and signature intelligence assets on restricted terrain or highspeed avenues of approach to provide early warning of potential enemy movements. Small unmanned aircraft systems can support infiltration and reconnaissance to provide early warning and reconnaissance of 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 3-13
