3 Dismount options with advantages and disadvantages - answer Short of the Objective
On the Objective
Beyond the Objective
Short of the Objective - answer 5-203. The advantages of dismounting the infantry squads before reaching the objective include protection of the infantrymen during the dismount process, control at the dismount point, and the ability to continue suppression of the enemy by supporting indirect fires during the dismount.
Disadvantages include exposure of the infantry squads to indirect and small arms fires as they maneuver to the objective area and the possibility that suitable dismount points will be targeted for enemy indirect fires.
On the Objective - answer 5-204. The primary advantages of this option are greater speed and enhanced protection of the infantry squads as the company team maneuvers
to the objective area. There are several disadvantages in dismounting on the objective
—difficulty in orienting the dismounted elements on specific
locations and objectives while they are riding in the BFVs; problems that may arise in establishing control at dismount points; and vulnerability of BFVs to short-range anti-
armor weapons.
Beyond the Objective - answer 5-205. This dismount option has several potential advantages—effective control at the dismount point; greater ease in orienting the dismounted elements to the terrain and the objectives of the assault; confusion or disorientation among enemy elements when they are forced to fight in an
unexpected direction. At the same time, there are significant disadvantages, including vulnerability of the company team to attack from enemy positions in depth or from enemy reserve forces; vulnerability of the BFVs to short range
anti-armor systems; and increased risk of fratricide.
Principles of Direct Fire Control - answer Mass the effects of fire. Destroy the greatest threat first. Avoid target overkill. Employ the best weapon for the target. Minimize friendly exposure. Prevent fratricide. Plan for extreme limited visibility conditions. Develop contingencies for diminished capabilities.
Fire Control Process - answer Identify probable enemy locations , determine the enemy scheme of maneuver. Determine where and how to mass (focus and distribute) fire effects.
Orient forces to speed target acquisition. Shift fires to refocus or redistribute their effects.
Terrain-based Fire Control Measures - answer Target reference point (TRP) · Engagement area · Sector of fire · Direction of fire · Terrain-based quadrant · Friendly-based quadrant · Maximum engagement line (MEL) · Restrictive fire line (RFL) · Final protective line (FPL)
Threat-based Fire Control Measures - answer · Fire patterns · Target array · Engagement priorities · Weapons ready posture · Trigger · Weapons control status · Rules of engagement (ROE) · Weapons safety posture · Engagement techniques
Three methods for resupply operations - answer Tailgate Resupply: Service Station Resupply: Emergency Resupply:
Tailgate Resupply: - answer Normally used only in assembly areas.
Combat vehicles remain in their vehicle positions or back out a short distance to allow trucks carrying Class III and Class V supplies to reach them. Individual crewmen rotate through the feeding area, pick up mail and sundries, and fill or exchange water cans. Any EPWs are centralized and guarded. KIAs, with their personal effects, are brought to
the holding area, where the 1SG takes charge of them.
Service Station Resupply: - answer Vehicles move individually or in small groups to the designated resupply point. Vehicles enter the resupply point following a one-way traffic flow; only vehicles requiring immediate maintenance stop at the maintenance holding area. Vehicles move through each supply location, with crews rotation
