Figure 3-5. Example of a DRT conducting route reconnaissance<br />
3-72. The DRT normally performs a tactical foot march to the LD and deploys to execute reconnaissance<br />
of the route unless transportation has been arranged. Based on the amount and quality of intelligence<br />
known about the enemy, the commander determines how much security is required for the move to the LD.<br />
The commander also considers the effect his final disposition of forces will have on the troop’s follow-on<br />
mission. The DRT commander considers the following as he develops his route reconnaissance plan during<br />
troop-leading procedures. (For a detailed list of considerations under each category, refer to the discussion<br />
of zone reconnaissance earlier in this chapter.)<br />
Friendly force considerations, including the following:<br />
Missions of other elements that support troop reconnaissance, such as Prophet or SUAS.<br />
Missions of other elements operating within the troop AO but not under troop control.<br />
The enemy situation, including the following:<br />
Types and capabilities of likely enemy weapons systems, NVDs and related systems, and<br />
communications systems.<br />
The squadron’s enemy COAs, including a SITTEMP depicting composition, known and<br />
template dispositions, and potential EAs. Potential enemy COAs include ambushes along<br />
the route in close or restricted terrain or tied to obstacles along the route and attack by longrange<br />
direct or indirect fires from dominating terrain along the route.<br />
