48 (e) The point engages all enemy elements within effective range. The squad leader reports contacts to the advance party commander and informs him of the enemy situation and the action he is taking. If the enemy resistance is weak in comparison to the strength of the point, the squad leader initiates a plan to close immediately with the enemy and destroy him. If the enemy resistance is greater than the strength of the point, the squad attacks in a manner that forces the enemy to open fire and disclose his disposition and strength. Such aggressive action materially assists the advance party commander in arriving at a correct estimate of the situation. When the point makes visual contact with an enemy along the route of march but beyond effective range, the advance party commander is notified and the advance continues until contact is made with the enemy. When the enemy is observed beyond effective range to a flank, the point does not proceed to make contact with the enemy, but instead notifies the advance party commander. (4) Rear Point. In the same manner that the advance party dispatches a point forward, the rear party employs a point to cover its rear. The formation of the squad serving as the rear point is similar to that of the point of the advance guard, but in reverse order. The squad generally employs a vee or a column formation. The squad leader positions himself at the head of the rearmost fire team. This formation is easy to control, provides all-round security, favors fire and maneuver to the flanks, and the fire is adequate in all directions. (See fig. 4-5.) The rear point stops to fire only when enemy action threatens to interfere with the march. Any observed enemy activity is reported to the rear party commander. The rear point cannot expect reinforcement by other troops. It repels all enemy attacks vigorously. If the enemy threatens to overrun the rear point, a covering force from the rear party takes up a position to cover the rear point. When forced back, the rear point withdraws around a flank or along a designated route so as not to mask the fire of the covering force. (See fig. 4-6.) (5) Point of Flank Guard. The missions, actions, and formations of a squad when serving as the point of a flank guard are the same as when the squad is acting as the point of an advance guard.
