Actions on the Objective
Occupation of Security Halt Short halt procedures Dogleg or fishhook performed Sit down or take a knee one person at a time Conduct SLLS prior to all other activities Take the non-firing arm out of your rucksack strap Confirm location (Map check) Poncho must be used for map checks Recon for tentative ORP Distances from ORP to NAI
Recon for ORP 5-point contingency/near and far recognition signals/radio checks Going Others I am taking Time I’ll be gone What to do if I don’t return Actions for me and you if contact is made OOM Characteristics of ORP Clearing of ORP Out of sight and sound of NAI ORP- Out of sight and sound from NAI Easily defendable for a short period of time Offers good cover and concealment Off natural lines of drift Away from avenues of approach Provides no tactical value to the enemy
Occupation of ORP Leave SO/ARTO at ORP/5-point contingency Move back to sec halt/Pick up team and move to ORP Long halt procedure SLLS 360 degree security R&S/Claymores Conduct long-range communications (if applicable) 100% security
Actions in ORP Prep men, weapons and equipment (MWE) for the leaders recon Scopes, Binoculars, NVGs, M-4s, Radios Re-camouflage/Guile suits Grab bags (if needed) Surveillance logs/sketching material Noise and light discipline inspection **Any equipment that needs to be crossloaded is done at this time
Leaders Recon Order of movement (OOM) Establish Release Point (RP) SSO, TL, SO2, SO1 Formation/Interval Establish Release Point (RP) Easily recognizable/limited visibility Out of sight not necessarily out of sound Actions at RP Conduct short halt procedures Maintain 100% security/Establish ruck plan Issue 5-point contingency plan to SO1
Leaders Recon Conduct leaders recon Pinpoint NAI/Change, Confirm or Deny/Abort Observe any immediate threats on the NAI Change task organization if needed Locate possible Observation Points (OPs)/Routes Establish Limit of Advance (LOA) Return to RP/ Move to ORP 5-point contingency to ATL/confirm RVs/near and far recognition signals/SOR/commo-no commo plan
Leaders Recon Movement to hide TL/RTO recon for hide site Conduct fishhook (clearing of hide) Conduct SLLS Establish security/claymores Maintain long range communications Maintain internal communications with R&S Establish hide site (POW)
Recon R&S 1 move out toward NAI R&S 2 move out toward NAI ATL, SO2 R&S 2 move out toward NAI SSO, SO1 Movement techniques (fan method) Use of stealth/bounding over-watch Paralleling the NAI/hand &arm signals Use of optics (standoff) Duties and responsibilities of R&S Reconnaissance vs. Security Move back to RP Collected all SOR/LOA/NLT time
Linkup at Release point R&S elements link up Compare and analyze all SOR collected (100% SOR achieved) Conduct 2nd recon if SOR is not answered Time permitting/Time extension w/TL Contact hide site (Far recognition signal) Move back to ORP/team internal linkup Initiate near recognition signal
Linkup at ORP Reestablish 100% security Disseminate SOR immediately (if possible) RTO records SOR in commo log (if needed) Secure claymores Counter-track ORP Move safe distance from ORP Conduct long halt Disseminate SOR (if necessary) Establish long-range communication with higher and send SOR in proper format
