Chapter 4 4-17. The DRT may be required to conduct a moving flank screen or to screen the rear of the protected force as it attacks. As the protected force moves, the troop occupies a series of successive screens. Movement is regulated by the requirement to maintain the time and distance factors desired by the protected force commander. Screening operations are not performed forward of a moving force (see FM 3-90). 4-18. Critical tasks for the screen are the following: DEPTH Allow no enemy ground element to pass through the screen undetected and unreported. Maintain continuous surveillance of all avenues of approach larger than a designated size into the area under all visibility conditions. Destroy or repel all enemy reconnaissance patrols within its capabilities. Locate the lead elements of each enemy advance guard and determine its direction of movement in a defensive screen. Maintain contact with enemy forces and report any activity in the AO. Maintain contact with the main body and any security forces operating on its flanks. Impede and harass the enemy within its capabilities while displacing. 4-19. Depth is critical in a screen. The term “screen line” is descriptive only of the forward trace along which security is provided. It allows for threat contact to be passed from one element to another without displacing. Depth allows the troop to accomplish the following: Prevent the threat from identifying and penetrating the screen. Prevent gaps in the screen from occurring when OPs are displaced, suppressed, neutralized, or destroyed. Facilitate the destruction of threat elements without compromising critical OPs. Maintain contact with threat elements without compromising OPs. 4-20. Depth is achieved primarily by positioning OPs and SUASs particularly along avenues of approach. The mortar section and attached elements positioned behind the screen line establish local security and provide support. The degree to which depth can be attained is a function of many factors, which include the following: Higher commander’s intent and concept as expressed in the OPORD. Graphical trace of the screen line (may be the LOA or other screen line). Engagement criteria. Destruction criteria. Cueing, mixing and redundancy of assets as described earlier in Chapter 3. Displacement/disengagement criteria. Width of the troop AO. Depth of the troop AO. Terrain and avenues of approach it will support. Attachments and detachments. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 4-21. A DRT executing a screen requires the following minimum guidance: Focus, tempo, and engagement criteria. General trace of the screen and time it will be established. Width of the screened AO. Force to be screened. Rear boundary of the screening force. Possible follow-on missions. 4-4 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Security Operations Fire support plan of the squadron and protected force. Other available support, such as <strong>Army</strong> aviation. 4-22. Given the commander’s guidance, the DRT commander then considers: Location of the screen. Movement/maneuver to occupy the screen. Passage lanes and passage points. Assigned AOs for platoons. Air-ground integration. Surveillance and acquisition assets. Fires planning. Mobility/countermobility/survivability. Positioning of C2 nodes with or without vehicles. Sustainment. Control of displacement to subsequent positions. 4-23. Displacement of screen elements is event-driven. While displacing, the screen continues to maintain contact and provide security. The following factors may dictate displacement: Approach of an identified and specified threat element. Detection by a threat force. Relief by a friendly unit. Movement of the protected force. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS FOR STATIONARY SCREEN 4-24. The DRT can conduct a stationary screen for a stationary or moving protected force. To ensure the DRT can plan for and perform all the key tasks of a screen, the squadron provides the troop commander with the information covered in the following discussion. Augmentation 4-25. Augmentation covers any additional assets the troop receives to conduct the mission. Augmentation from the squadron or IBCT can include the following: Antiarmor, from a weapons company. Engineer platoon. Additional sniper squads. Additional reconnaissance assets. Air and missile defense, aviation, and sustainment assets. General Trace of the Screen and Time the Screen Must be Established 4-26. A phase line placed along identifiable terrain graphically indicates the trace. Consideration should be given to the amount of early warning required, range of indirect fires, desired protected force maneuver space, and fields of observation. In a screen forward of the IBCT, this phase line represents the forward line of own troops (FLOT). A coordinated fire line, which does not need to be on identifiable terrain, may be placed beyond the FLOT to minimize the need for additional coordination for indirect fires. Placing screening forces beyond the trace line requires approval of the squadron. Any forces positioned beyond the trace should be protected by FSCMs, such as NFAs or restrictive fire areas. Width of Screened Area of Operations 4-27. The troop may be assigned a wide frontage in excess of its capabilities. If the troop is required to screen beyond its capabilities, the commander requests additional assets to accomplish the tasks assigned. Careful consideration must be given when assigning ground-based and aerial sensor systems their own 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 4-5
