4-8 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ MCWP 3-16.1 Reversing slopes from the threat using foliage or digging holes can assist in this effort. Signals Although commanders will designate specific signals to correspond to various threats or conditions, the following three signals are standard. Defense Against Air Attack Low level strafing and bombing attacks usually occur during daylight hours. Upon the sounding of the air attack signal, personnel will assume air defense positions and all weapons systems will engage the aircraft. NBC Defense The signal for an NBC attack will be continuous banging of metal on metal. When the alarm is sounded, all personnel will immediately don and clear their field protective masks and remain masked until the “all clear” signal is sounded. Ground Attack Upon the sounding of the ground attack signal, the reaction force will assemble at the rally point with their assigned gear. Primary watch standers remain in place and all other non-essential personnel report to their assigned fighting positions. Reconstituting the Unit If a unit becomes ineffective as a result of threat action, specific actions must be taken to reconstitute the unit or return it to a desired level of operational readiness. Cross training and an SOP facilitate reconstitution. The following actions are taken: ● Report the situation to higher headquarters. ● Render first aid and evacuate casualties. ● Assess damage, repair equipment, when possible, and redistribute assets, as required. ● If attacked by NBC, decontaminate personnel and material. Special Considerations for Command Elements CPs and logistics areas are particularly vulnerable to threat attack due to a lack of organic firepower and susceptibility to target acquisition threats. Proper communications security and operations security techniques are essential to mask a CP’s signature. Vehicle traffic in and out of the position should be limited and strictly controlled. All sections of a headquarters battery must plan to man local security posts even if this effort degrades certain operational capabilities. If the threat of air attack or artillery fire is minimal, CEs may consider collocating with other units to enhance survivability and common defense. For example, a battalion FDC may occupy a position in the vicinity of its supported infantry regiment COC. Similarly, logistic elements may consolidate defensive responsibilities with their supporting combat service support detachment (CSSD) in a low threat environment. This arrangement would be undesirable in a high threat environment where tactical dispersion would be maximized to enhance survivability. Because the sections in the headquarters battery will seldom be collocated, it is imperative that all elements are identified with respect to size, capabilities, and position on the battlefield. At a minimum,
Artillery Operations _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 4-9 local security must be considered and planned for the FWD COC, main COC, and logistical trains. Determine the following for each element: ● Mission and tasks assigned. ● Personnel located at each site. ● Vehicles and other section equipment needed to support its mission. ● Crew-served weapons required to provide adequate protection. ● Fire support available. ● Will this element operate independently, be attached to another unit or be collocated with another unit? ● Who is in charge? Once these requirements have been determined, the artillery defense plan must be tailored to meet the specific needs of each element.The plan must consider that the threat may be different to each element.
