You must consider sustainment requirements when developingyour Soldiers’ load plan; that is, how much each Soldier will carry.
442 • SECTION 13Figure 13.9Zone Reconnaissance Using Multiple Area ReconnaissanceMultiple Area ReconnaissanceWhen using multiple area reconnaissance, you task each of your subordinate units to conducta series of area reconnaissance actions within the zone. This technique calls for you to taskeach of your squads to conduct a series of area reconnaissance actions along a specifiedroute (Figure 13.9). This task is very similar to the task required of a listening/observationpost (LP/OP).Critical ThinkingeWhy is it essential that you distribute information gathered to every Soldier?Combat Patrolsraida surprise attack againsta position or installationfor a specific purposeother than seizing andholding the terrainIn Section 12, you learned that the three types of combat patrols are raid patrols, ambushpatrols, and security patrols.RaidThe sequence of a patrol’s actions for a raid is similar to those for an ambush. Additionally,the patrol’s assault element may have to conduct a breach of an obstacle. It may haveadditional tasks to perform on the objective (for example, demolition of fixed facilities).Squads do not execute raids independent of larger units.
