CONTROL ELEMENTS
Figure E-4. Overview of a deliberate gap crossing
Combined Arms Gap-Crossing Operations
E-21. Division and brigade commanders are responsible for crossing their formations. They organize their
staffs and subordinate commanders to help them control the crossing. Division and brigade headquarters
operate from a command group, main CP, and TAC CP. At the division level, an engineer brigade or an
additional MEB is normally designated as the crossing area headquarters for the execution of a deliberate
gap crossing. In a deliberate gap-crossing operation, it may be necessary to collocate a center for
movement control to assist crossing area headquarters in monitoring traffic and routes between release
lines (RLs). Some hasty (dry) gap crossings may not require all of the control elements discussed. (See
table E-2, page E-8.)
