Chapter 4 Figure 4-3. Example of a DRT moving with one platoon alternately bounding OPs Figure 4-4. Example of a DRT moving with one platoon successively bounding its OPs LIMITED VISIBILITY 4-52. When limited visibility conditions occur, as they often do during screen missions, squadron and DRT commanders must adapt the screen to these conditions. The screen can never be left with gaps when aircraft cannot fly or Scouts cannot observe. The troop takes the following actions to guard against gaps: Adjusts ground OPs. Employs night and thermal observation devices. Increases the use of surveillance devices and ground-based sensors if available. Places trip flares and OPs along dismounted avenues of approach. Conducts patrols between OPs. 4-53. Depth in the screen facilitates acquisition of threat forces that may elude forward elements. Patrols are closely coordinated to prevent misidentification and fratricide. As mentioned earlier, C2 measures are paramount in limited visibility conditions. Elements without digital tracking capabilities must establish 4-14 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Security Operations effective communications to maintain a high state of SA of friendly unit positions. This must be done without compromising friendly unit locations to threat forces. Sound and light discipline at night prevents compromise and bypass of OPs by threat reconnaissance forces. Additional OPs can be established as listening posts to take advantage of the extended distance sound travels at night. Indirect illumination is also planned and used as necessary. GUARD 4-54. The DRT does not have the capability to execute a guard mission. They may, however, participate in a guard mission to the limit of their capabilities. If participating in a guard mission with a larger fighting force, DRT units will normally participate in screening operations for the guard force. Screening operations for a guard force are conducted similarly to those of a screen for any other maneuver force. (See FM 3-90 and FM 3-20.96 for more information on guard.) 4-55. A guard is a form of security operations whose primary task is to protect the main body by fighting to gain time while also observing and reporting information and preventing threat ground observation of and direct fire against the main body. It differs from the screen in that the guard force, which normally operates within the range of the main body’s indirect fire weapons, fights the threat when necessary to gain time and allow freedom of maneuver for the protected force. The guard force prevents threat ground observation of and direct fire against the main body by reconnoitering, attacking, defending, and delaying. COVER 4-56. As with a guard force, the DRT does not have the capabilities to execute a cover mission. They may participate in a covering force mission to the limit of their capabilities. Similarly to their participation in a guard mission, if participating in a covering force, DRT units will normally participate in screening operations. (See FM 3-90 for more information on cover.) 4-57. A cover is a form of security operation whose primary task is to protect the main body by fighting to gain time while also observing and reporting information and preventing threat ground observation of and direct fire against the main body. A cover prevents threat indirect fires, direct observation, and direct fires against the main body by reconnoitering, attacking, defending, and delaying. A covering force accomplishes all the tasks of screening and guard forces. Unlike a screening or guard force, however, the covering force is a self-contained element capable of operating independently of the main body. A covering force, or portions of it, often become decisively engaged with threat forces. Therefore, the covering force must have substantial combat power to engage the threat and still accomplish its mission. AREA SECURITY 4-58. Area security is defined as a security mission conducted to protect friendly forces, installations, routes, and actions within a specified area. It includes the reconnaissance and security of the area specified for protection, including personnel, airfields (as well as terrain around airfields from which surface-to-air missiles can be launched), unit convoys, facilities, main supply routes (MSRs), lines of communications (LOCs), terrain features, towns, equipment, and critical points. (See Figure 4-5.) Area security is conducted to deny the threat the ability to influence friendly actions in a specific area or to deny the threat use of an area for its own purposes. It may entail occupying and establishing a 360-degree perimeter around the area being secured or taking actions to destroy threat forces already present. Area security operations may require the execution of a wide variety of supporting operations and tasks; therefore, the troop may require augmentation when it is assigned to perform area security. DISMOUNTED RECONNAISSANCE TROOP TASKS 4-59. The DRT can execute the following tasks when conducting area security operations: Zone, area, and route reconnaissance. Screen.
