Chapter 3 ORGANIZATION OF FORCES 3-68. If augmented with vehicles for each platoon, the DRT can conduct reconnaissance of two vehicle routes. The integration of ground, air, and other assets can facilitate a faster and more detailed route reconnaissance. GRAPHIC CONTROL MEASURES 3-69. The DRT commander places lateral boundaries on both sides of the route that allow reconnaissance of all terrain from which the enemy could influence the route. He designates an LD perpendicular to the route short of the SP and places an LOA far enough beyond the route’s RP to include any terrain from which the enemy could influence the route. The commander also establishes coordination points or contact points to enable proper flank coordination. If air reconnaissance is employed, an air LOA is normally established to provide greater depth and to take advantage of the aircrafts’ elevated observation platform and long-range acquisition capability. The SP and RP define that section of the route on which the unit collects detailed information. Phase lines and checkpoints are added to maintain coordination, control movement, or designate critical points. Fire control measures and FSCMs help the unit to coordinate fires as necessary. All GCMs are placed along or on recognizable terrain features. If possible, they are identifiable from both the ground and the air to assist in air-ground coordination. (See Figure 3-4 for an example of GCMs of route reconnaissance by a DRT.) Figure 3-4. Example of graphic control measures of route reconnaissance by a DRT 3-16 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
<strong>Reconnaissance</strong> Operations CRITICAL TASKS 3-70. Based on time factors and the commander’s intent, The DRT commander may direct the platoons to reconnoiter for specific information. He directs the following critical tasks in a route reconnaissance: Finds, reports, and clears all enemy forces, within capabilities, that can influence movement along the route. Determines the trafficability of the route; can it support the friendly force? Reconnoiters all terrain that the enemy can use to dominate movement along the route, such as check points, ambush sites, pickup zones, landing zones (LZs), and drop zones (DZs). Reconnoiters all built-up areas, contaminated areas, and lateral routes along the route. Evaluates and classifies all bridges, defiles, overpasses, and underpasses. Locates all obstacles and create lanes as specified in the execution order. Reports the above route information to the headquarters initiating the route reconnaissance mission, to include providing a sketch map or overlay. (See FM 3-90.) Locates mines, obstacles, and barriers. Locates bypasses around built-up areas, obstacles, and contaminated areas. Determines the type and volume of traffic on the route. Updates route information. EXAMPLE OF ROUTE RECONNAISSANCE 3-71. The reconnaissance squadron specifies the route, including the SP, RP, and other critical points along the route. It establishes Air space C2 measures, specifies the reconnaissance start time, and designates a completion time. Using the provided IPB and imagery, the DRT commander analyzes the terrain to gain an appreciation of the danger areas within his AO and the nature of the potential enemy. He determines how much terrain on each flank of the route is to be reconnoitered. Squadron constraints or restrictions may also influence how much terrain is reconnoitered. The troop commander coordinates to ensure support from other collection assets available to the squadron and the IBCT both prior to and during reconnaissance. The commander may also direct a platoon to conduct a route reconnaissance as a specific task in another mission. Figure 3-5 illustrates a DRT conducting route reconnaissance. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 3-17
