2. OCCUPATION OF THE DEFENSE SITUATION PREPARATION FELXIBILITY COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS SECURITY & DEFENSIVE PLANNING Defenders seek to mass the effects of overwhelming combat power where they choose and shift it to support the decisive operation, or Main Effort (ME). Disrupts the attacker’s tempo and synchronization by countering his initiative and preventing him from massing overwhelming combat power. Never permit the enemy to acquire an unexpected advantage. As of 14OCT15 CONOP- OCS Class 055 Defensive FTX (14NOV2015-15NOV2015) The defender must be agile enough to avoid the attacker’s blows and then strike back effectively. Derived from sound preparation and effective C2. Ability to shift the Main Effort (ME). Aggressive Recon and Surveillance (R&S). Retention of a reserve. Preparation in depth such as alternate and supplementary positions PURPOSE To defeat an enemy attack To gain time to prepare for other operations To allow a higher commander to concentrate forces To control key enemy forces as a prelude to offensive operations To retain key or decisive terrain AREA DEFENSE POC OC Kellerman PL 904-814-1826 MASSING EFFECTS & DISRUPTION Use METT-TC to identify potential friendly and enemy weaknesses Synchronize the concept of the operation with all available resources Ensure 360 degree security with WPN systems Begin Recon and Surveillance (R&S) plan immediately Where / How to defend Sequence of the defense Types of positions Occupation plan Security plan Reserve Fire control measures DEFEND A STRONG POINT Hold key or decisive terrain. Block an avenue of approach. Canalize the enemy. A strong point is defended until the unit is formally relieved or ordered out. A strong point defense includes: Reinforcing each individual fighting position to withstand small-arms fire, mortar fire, and artillery fragments. The stockpiling of food, water, ammunition, tools, and medical supplies. Construct formidable obstacles and minefields. Construct range cards for each position and confirm them by fire. PERIMETER DEFENSE Platoons prepare a perimeter defense when there are no friendly units adjacent to it. Disperse the platoon into a circular configuration for 360 degree security; actual shape is terrain dependent. SEQUENCE OF THE DEFENSE Prepare for combat Move to defensive positions Establish defensive positions Locate the enemy Initiate contact / Actions on enemy contact Fight the defense Consolidate & Reorganize CONSIDERATIONS Defend in depth Create mutual support as much as possible Use passive and active security measures Make maximum use of key weapon systems (to include indirect fire weapon systems Decide on obstacle composition and location Emplace machine-guns along likely dismounted avenues of approach Emplace anti-armor weapons against likely mounted avenues of approach Make maximum use of offensive action OCCUPATION PLAN Prevents confusion Establishes security quickly Allows parallel planning Allows priority of work to commence ASAP PRIORITY OF WORK Establish security Position key weapons Clear fields of fire and prepare range cards Prepare fighting positions SECURITY PLANS Active Measures Recon and Surveillance patrols Stand-To / Stand-Down Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) Passive Measures Noise, Light & Litter Discipline Radio Silence Camouflage Counter-reconnaissance RESERVE At platoon level, the reserve may consist of a rifle squad, fire team, or the platoon headquarters element. Some situations require committed forces to "be prepared" to act as a reserve. The primary purpose of the reserve is to regain the initiative through counterattack. Emplace obstacles and mines Prepare alternate positions Establish work rest plan Stockpile ammunition, food, and water ENGAGEMENT AREA Where the commander intends to trap and destroy an enemy force using the massed fires of all available weapons. Determine where you want to kill the enemy Usually along likely enemy avenues of approach. Plan & emplace obstacles. Emplace direct fire weapons. Plan indirect fires. Rehearse the execution of operations in the engagement area.
