f. Reports the situation to the platoon leader/company commander and begins to maneuver. Figure 6-1. React to Contact g. Calls for and adjusts indirect fire (mortars or artillery). (Squad leaders relay requests through the platoon leader.) 9. Team leaders lead their teams by example; for example, “Follow me, do as I do.” 10. Leaders relay all commands and signals from the platoon chain of command. BATTLE DRILL 3. BREAK CONTACT SITUATION: The squad/platoon is under enemy fire and must break contact. REQUIRED ACTIONS: (Figure 6-2.) 1. The squad/platoon leader directs one fire-team/squad in contact to support the disengagement of the remainder of the unit. 2. The squad/platoon leader orders a distance and direction, or a terrain feature, or last objective rally point for the movement of the first fire team/squad. 3. The base of fire (fire team/squad) continues to suppress the enemy. 4. The moving element uses fragmentation, concussion, and smoke grenades to mask its movement. 5. The moving element takes up the designated position and engages the enemy position. 6. The platoon leader directs the base-of-fire element to move to its next location. (Based on the terrain and the volume and accuracy of the enemy’s fire, the moving fire team/squad may need to use fire and movement techniques. 7. The squad/platoon continues to bound away from the enemy until (the squad/platoon must continue to suppress the enemy as it breaks contact): • It breaks contact. 6-9
• It passes through a higher level support-by-fire position. • Its fire teams/squads are in the assigned position to conduct the next mission. 8. The leader should consider changing the direction of movement once contact is broken. This will reduce the ability of the enemy to place effective indirect fires on the unit. 9. If the squad or platoon becomes disrupted, soldiers stay together and move to the last designated rally point. 10. Squad/platoon leaders account for soldiers, report, reorganize as necessary and continue the mission. This space intentionally left blank for notes. 6-10
