ambush or indirect fire.
6-261. Depending on the threat level, selected members
of the security team are armed with a M4, a M16, or a
M203. When dismounted with the protected person, they
provide standoff security out to the maximum effective
range of their weapons. Shotguns should be considered
shotguns if there is a threat of attack in a congested area
where there is danger of injuring innocent persons if
long-range weapons were used. Members of the team
that are selected to physically escort the protected
person should be armed with sidearms only. This allows
them to have both hands free to react to close-in threats.
6-262. The security plan must be flexible to allow for
itinerary and weather changes and mechanical failures.
Once the platoon leader has finalized the security plan,
he assembles the security team and conducts detailed
rehearsals.
Security During the Visit
6-263. Protection may be accomplished by establishing a
series of protective cordons around the protected person.
The protective measures used must allow the person
freedom of movement and must not interfere with the
conduct of his duties. Irritating conduct must be avoided
at all times.
