5-26 (c) Fighting Hole With Camouflaged Overhead Cover. It is desirable that the soil be removed toan inconspicuous place and a camouflaged overhead cover be improvised. Branches, supporting sod, or other natural material in the vicinity may be used for this purpose. The overhead cover may be reinforced to provide protection from overhead bursts of artillery fire. (2) Two-Man Fighting Hole. The two-man fighting hole consists essentially of two adjacent one-man fighting holes. Since it is longer than the one-man type, the two-man fighting hole offers somewhat less protection against a tank crossing along the long axis, as well as less protection against strafing, bombing, and shell fragments. (See fig. 5-15.) Some advantages of the two-man fighting hole are that it allows continuous observation, mutual assistance and reassurance, and the redistribution of ammunition between the occupants. PARAPET REST Figure 5-15. Two-Man Fighting Hole.
f. Constructing Obstacles. The squad may be ordered to construct obstacles such as barbed wire, log and brush barriers, ditches, and hasty protective minefields; and may be ordered to improve natural obstacles such as creek beds and river banks. Usually antitank and other extensive obstacles are constructed by engineers. When obstacles which affect the squad's fighting position are constructed, the squad leader ensures that — • The obstacle is located beyond hand grenade range of the individual fighting positions of squad members. • The obstacle is covered by fire. g. Selecting Supplementary and Alternate Fighting Positions. The squad prepares supplementary fighting positions organized the same as the primary fighting positions but oriented in a different direction. If crewserved weapons are attached to the squad or employed in the squad fighting position, alternate fighting positions should also be prepared for the crewserved weapons. h. Camouflage Measures. Concealmentfrom enemy ground and aerial observation is very important in selecting and organizing each fighting position. The squad must take advantage of natural concealment whenever possible. Camouflage measures are begun from the moment the position is occupied and are continued as long as the <strong>Marine</strong>s are there. Specific camouflage measures are: (1) Do not disclose the position by excessive or careless clearing of fields of fire. (2) Use the same turf or topsoil that has been removed from the area of the fighting hole to camouflage the parapet. (3) Dispose of all soil from the fighting hole not used on the parapet. Carry the soil away in sandbags or shelter halves. Dispose of it under low bushes, on dirt roads or paths, in streams or ponds, or camouflage it. (4) Avoid digging in next to an isolated bush, tree, or clump of vegetation. (5) Conceal the fighting hole from observation by the use of a camouflaged cover. Construct the cover from natural materials. 5.27
