Squad and sectionsketches show the BFV and soldier fighting positions.(2) Each leader submits his completed sector sketch to the next most senior leaderfor approval. After receiving approval, he distributes copies of his sketch to hissubordinates.(3) The company commander should ensure that platoon leaders and platoonsergeants receive copies of the company's fire plan.
