PREFACE
This manual is one of a series of soldier training publications that support
individual training. Commanders, trainers, and soldiers will use this manual
and STP 21-1-SMCT, Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks, Skill Level 1, to
plan, conduct, sustain, and evaluate individual training of common tasks in
units.
This manual contains a common task training plan for skill levels (SL) 1
through 4 and task summaries for SL 2 through SL 4 critical common tasks
that support unit wartime missions. This manual is the only authorized
source for these common tasks. Task summaries in this manual supersede
any common tasks appearing in MOS-specific soldier's manuals.
Training support information, such as reference materials, is also included.
Trainers and first-line supervisors should ensure SL 2 through SL 4 soldiers
have access to this publication in their work areas, unit learning centers, and
unit libraries.
This manual applies to both active and Reserve Component soldiers.
Unless this manual states otherwise, masculine pronouns do not refer
exclusively to men.
The proponent of this publication is the Commander, United States Army
Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), with the Commander, United
States Army Training Support Center (ATSC) designated as the principle
publishing, printing and distribution agency. Proponents for the specific
tasks are the Army schools and agencies as identified by the school code,
listed at appendix A, consisting of the first three digits of the task
identification number.
All comments, suggestions and recommended
changes to this publication should be submitted as follows: Record any
comments or questions regarding the task summaries contained in this
manual on a DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and
Blank Forms) and send it to the respective task proponent with inform ation
copies forwarded to: Commander, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
Command, ATTN: ATTG-I, Fort Monroe, VA 23651-5000, and Commander,
U.S. Army Training Support Center, ATTN: ATIC-ITSC-CM, Fort Eustis, VA
23604-5166.
REPRODUCIBLE FORMS
Following the very favorable acceptance of previous skill level 1 SMCTs
"pocket-size" format, the August 2003 revisions (STP 21-1-SMCT and STP
21-24-SMCT) are printed in 5-by-7-inch format. This size precludes
incorporating full-size, reproducible forms in these manuals . Instead, these
manuals include a Guide to Forms (appendix B). In the online versions of the
new manuals, appendix B contains electronic links to the downloadable,

reproducible forms. Where online access is not available, the soldier's unit
must obtain hard copies of these forms
SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE STAFF
CONCERNING THE REVISED SMCT
Experienced trainers will notice that, in addition to numerous new tasks in
the revised SMCT, there are many tasks for which the skill level has been
lowered from that in the past. This reflects results from the recent survey of
approximately 19,000 enlisted soldiers, their commanders, and senior
leaders, to determine who was actually performing certain tasks , and the
amount of learning that was actually filtering down in the “one room
schoolhouse” of the working Army. When it was established that a
significant percentage of soldiers were performing those tasks at skill levels
that were above their own, it was decided to lower the task designation,
giving trainers —and the Army—the full advantage of accelerated learning at
every level. This SMCT, if anything, reflects back to its users a faithfulness
to this spirit of Army training from whom it derived, an allegiance and
gratitude to the profession and legacy of every United States Army soldier.
Thank you.

Chapter 1

Introduction
1-1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the critical common tasks for skill levels 2, 3, and 4.
Mastering the performance of these tasks will help the individual soldier fight
better and survive on the battlefield, and perform across the full spectrum of
operations. Each soldier must be able to perform all critical common tasks
for his or her own skill level and below. The individual soldier shares
responsibility with the trainer to sustain the skills and knowledge required to
perform all critical common tasks.
a. Individual Soldiers. To ensure you can perform each task, have
another soldier or your supervisor periodically evaluate your performance
using the task summaries. If you have questions about how to perform a
task or which task to perform, ask your first-line supervisor. The first-line
supervisor knows how to perform each task and can direct you to the
appropriate training materials. You should also check the Reimer Digital
Library for new training materials. It is your responsibility to use these
materials to maintain your proficiency.
b. Trainers. If you are a supervisor and trainer and have soldiers
working for you, you must train them to do the tasks for their skill level and
below. Commanders and trainers should use the Soldier’s Manual of
Common Tasks (SMCT), military occupational specialty (MOS) specific
soldier’s training publications (STPs), and mission training plans (MTPs) to
establish effective training plans and programs which integrate individual
and collective tasks.
1-2. SMCT AND SUPPORT OF BATTLE-FOCUSED TRAINING
a. Overview. The SMCTs document the common tasks by skill level
on which all soldiers must be trained and evaluated. These documents
assist leaders in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the soldiers in
their unit and provide a means for evaluating the effectiveness of the units
individual training program. Evaluation results also tell leaders where to
concentrate training to improve unit readiness and help soldiers develop
professionally.
b. Leader's Assessment. The leader’s assessment focuses on
specific unit mission requirements. It gives commanders a way to evaluate
soldier performance on individual tasks that directly support their unit
mission. These tasks may be common tasks as well as MOS-specific tasks.
Leader’s assessments should be conducted year round. Unit commanders
should make leader’s comments an integral part of their unit training so
hands -on evaluation is systematically performed at the unit level.
1-1

(1) Tasks selected for leader’s assessments include, but are not
limited to, individual tasks that—
(a) Support the units mission essential task list (METL).
(b) Support other non-METL unit tasks as shown in the MTP.
(c) Are identified by higher headquarters for inclusion in
planned individual training.
(d) Were rated as substandard on previous training feedback,
such as the common task test (CTT) or annual general inspections.
(e) Are relevant to the soldier’s MOS but not required in his
current duty assignment.
(2) Leaders may conduct their assessment—
(a) Before, during, or after individual skills training.
(b) As part of MTP training.
(c) On the job.
(d) At specially prepared test sites or in a battlefield scenario.
(e) During training or job breaks.
(f) After hours in the barracks.
(g) During special squad or individual competitive events.
(3) The leader’s assessment evaluates the combat effectiveness of
soldiers and the unit. Commanders can use this evaluation to correct training
deficiencies and plan unit training. Commanders can also use the results for
personnel actions (such as preparing enlisted evaluation reports, making
recommendations for promotions , and other personnel management
decisions).
c. Common Task Test (CTT). The CTT is a hands -on test to evaluate
proficiency on critical combat and survival tasks. A new CTT is fielded each
year, based on STP 21-1-SMCT and STP 21-24-SMCT. Refer to AR 350-1
for details on test administration and scoring. Units may administer the CTT
any time during the test period. CTT evaluations should be integrated with
training exercises to conserve resources and improve realism. For example,
units could test soldiers on CTT tasks during—
•
•

MTP evaluations and other collective training activities.
Weapons qualification.

•

Gas chamber training.

• Stations in a soldier battlefield course or military stakes
competition.
The CTT is a routine part of the training schedule; it is a m ajor event on the
unit calendar. Like the leader’s assessment, CTT results are objective
measures for the commander to use to evaluate unit readiness and the
1-2

effectiveness of the training program. Leaders also consider CTT results
when preparing enlisted evaluation reports and recommending soldiers for
promotion.
1-3. SMCT FEATURES
a. Common Task Training Plan. The common task training plan
(chapter 2) lists, by skill level, the critical common tasks for which all soldiers
are responsible. It indicates where each task is first taught to standard and
how often training on the task is required to sustain proficiency. Leaders
should use this information to develop a comprehensive unit training plan.
b. Task Summary. Each task summary documents the performance
requirements of a critical common task. The summaries provide the soldier
and the trainer with the information necessary to evaluate the critical tasks.
The task summaries use the following format:
• Task Title. The task title identifies the action to be performed.
• Task Number. A ten-digit number identifies each task. The first
three digits of the number represent the proponent code for that task. (A list
of the proponent codes is given in appendix A.) Include the entire ten-digit
task number, along with the task title, in any correspondence relating to the
task.
• Conditions. The task conditions identify all the equipment, tools,
materials, references, job aids, and supporting personnel the soldier needs
to perform the task. This section identifies environmental conditions that can
alter task performance (such as visibility, temperature, or wind). This section
also identifies specific cues or events (such as a chemical attack or
identification of an unexploded ordnance hazard) that trigger task
performance.
• Standard. A task standard specifies the requirements for task
performance by indicating how well, completely, or accurately a product
must be produced, a process must be performed, or both. Standards are
described in terms of accuracy, tolerances, completeness, format, clarity,
number of errors, quantity, sequence, or speed of performance.
• Training and Evaluation Guide. This section has two parts. The
first part, Performance Steps, lists the individual steps the soldier must
complete to perform the task. The second part is the Performance
Evaluation Guide. This provides guidance on how to evaluate a soldier’s
performance of the task. It is composed of three subsections. The Evaluation
Preparation subsection identifies special setup procedures and, if required,
instructions for evaluating the task performance. Sometimes the conditions
and standard must be modified so the task can be evaluated in a situation
that does not exactly duplicate actual field performance. This subsection
may also include instructions the evaluator should give to the soldier before
the performance test. The Performance Measures subsection identifies the
1-3

criteria for acceptable task performance. The soldier is rated (GO/NO GO)
on each specific action or specific product produced. As indicated in the
Evaluation Guidance subsection, the soldier must score a GO on all (or each
specified) performance measure to receive a GO on the task.
• References. This section identifies references that provide more
detailed and thorough explanations of task performance requirements than
that given in the task summary description. This section identifies resources
the soldier can use to improve or maintain performance.
Additionally, task summaries can include safety statements, environmental
considerations, and notes. Safety statements (danger, warning, caution)
alert users to the possibility of immediate death, personal injury, or damage
to equipment. Notes provide additional information to support task
performance.
c. Training Support. This manual includes the following that provide
additional training support information.
• Appendix A (Proponent School and Agency Codes )—lists the
task proponents and agency codes (first three digits of the task number) with
addresses for submitting comments concerning specific tasks in this manual.
• Appendix B (Guide to Forms)—explains the use of various
SMCT training and evaluation forms and, in the online version, provides links
to the forms.
• Glossary—lists abbreviations and acronyms and their
definitions.
• References —lists all reference materials cited in the task
summaries by type, identification number, title, and date.
1-4. CONDUCTING COMMON TASK TRAINING AND EVALUATION
a. Role of the Commander. As a commander, you must ensure that
your training plan prepares the unit for the full spectrum of operations. The
plan should enable your soldiers to develop and sustain proficiency on the
MOS-specific and common tasks for their skill level. Use critical common
task summaries to evaluate your soldiers' proficiency on those tasks critical
to your unit mission. An effective training program converts unproductive
time into effective training time. This will upgrade the skills of individual
soldiers and promote the development of junior leaders. To develop an
effective unit training program we reiterate, from the STP 21-1-SMCT, the
following seven-step approach—
Step 1. Set the objectives for training.
Step 2. Plan the resources (personnel, time, funds, facilities, devices,
training aids).
Step 3. Train the trainers.
Step 4. Provide the resources.
1-4

Step 5. Manage risks, environmental and safety considerations.
Step 6. Conduct the training.
Step 7. Evaluate the results.
b. Role of the Trainer. Although training is everyone’s business, you,
the NCO, are the key to training the individual soldiers assigned to your unit.
You should be the first to recognize which tasks each soldier can or cannot
perform. You must ensure each soldier takes steps to master these tasks.
This manual will assist you, the trainer, in doing what trainers do best—train.
To train effectively, you must perform the following functions.
(1) Plan the training. You can usually integrate or conduct training
for specific common tasks concurrently with other training or during slack
periods. Use the Common Task Training Plan in chapter 2 to identify the
critical common tasks for which each soldier is responsible.
(2) Prepare yourself. Get training guidance from your chain of
command on when to train, what to train, and what resources are available.
Know the training objectives for each task and ensure you can perform the
task. Gather the necessary training references for each task, as listed in the
task summary.
(3) Obtain the resources. Gather the required resources and
prepare the training site according to the conditions statement and the
evaluation preparation section of the task summary. Ensure equipment
needed to complete the task is operational. Coordinate the use of training
aids and devices.
(4) Train the soldiers. Show the soldiers how to do the task to
standard and explain each step. Give each soldier at least one chance to
perform the task.
(5) Evaluate the soldiers. Evaluate how well the soldiers perform.
You may conduct the evaluation during individual training or while evaluating
individual performance during the conduct of unit collective tasks. Use the
Common Task Training Plan to determine how often to check soldiers to
ensure they maintain proficiency.
(6) Record the results. Record the GO/NO GO results in the
leader book. You may use DA Form 5165-R; see the Guide to Forms
(appendix B) at the end of this publication. Do not make written entries
directly on the evaluation guides in the SMCT.
(7) Retrain and reevaluate. Work with soldiers until they can
perform the task to specific soldier’s manual standard.
Good training increases the professionalism of each soldier and helps
to develop an efficient unit. You are a vital link in the conduct of good
training.

2-1. COMMON TASK TRAINING PLAN
The Common Task Training Plan provides information to help the trainer
plan, prepare, train, evaluate, and monitor individual training in units. It lists,
by general subject area and skill level, the critical common tasks soldiers
must perform, the initial training location, and a suggested frequency of
training. The training location column uses brevity codes to indicate where
the task is first taught to standards. If the task is taught in the unit the word
“UNIT” appears in this column. “SD” indicates tasks trained via selfdevelopment media. If it is taught in the training base, the brevity code
(BCT, OSUT, AIT) of the resident course appears. Brevity codes and
resident courses are listed below.

The sustainment training column lists how often (frequency) soldiers should
train on the task to ensure they maintain their proficiency. This information
is not a requirement, but rather a guide the commander can use to develop a
comprehensive unit training plan. The commander, with the unit trainers, is
in the best position to determine on which tasks and how often soldiers need
training to maintain unit readiness.

members of your unit have completed Code of Conduct training during the
pre-deployment training phase.
Standards: Demonstrated knowledge of the six articles of the Code of
Conduct by establishing and sustaining a chain of command, good
discipline, and a means of communications. Provided positive moral, ethical
leadership and direction on how to survive, evade, resist, and escape in
accordance with the guidelines established in the Code of Conduct.
Performance Steps
1. Demonstrated knowledge of Article I: I am an American fighting in the
forces that guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my
life in their defense.
a. Explanation. The Code applies to all service members at all times,
whether in active combat, in captivity, or in peacetime as a result of
hostage situations and terrorist activities. Members of the Armed Forces
have a duty to support U.S. interest and oppose U.S. enemies regardless
of the circumstances.
(1) Medical personnel and chaplains are given special "retained
status" by the 1949 Geneva Convention including the GPW. The GPW
requires that medical personnel and chaplains be allowed to perform their
professional duties while captured. However, the captors control the
degree to which these duties can be performed. But, even while
performing limited professional duties, medical personnel and chaplains
are held accountable for all their actions.
(2) Recent experience has shown that captors have disregarded
the GPW. All confined personnel have been subjected to the same
coercive PW management practices. Therefore, all soldiers should be
aware of the behavior standards of the Code and should receive training
in its application.

Evacuate Casualties
Conditions: You are a soldier deployed to a unit in a forward area. There
are casualties that must be evacuated to receive medical aid. The
casualties have had self-aid or buddy-aid applied. A military vehicle (ground
vehicle or rotary-wing aircraft) is available. You may have a litter and straps
(or materials to improvise them) to secure the casualty and other soldiers
available to assist in the evacuation.
Standards: Transported the casualties to medical aid or a pickup site using
an appropriate carry or, if other soldiers are available, by litter. The litter was
loaded onto a military vehicle (ground vehicle or rotary-wing aircraft) without
dropping or causing further injury to the casualty.
Performance Steps
1. Request medical evacuation. (See Task 081-831-0101.)
a. Make contact.
b. Determine whether casualties must be moved or will be picked up
at current location. If they must be moved, continue with step 2. If they
will not be moved, continue to monitor communications and go to step 5.
2. Transport a casualty using the one and two man carries. (See STP
21-1-SMCT, Task 081-831-1046.)
Note. Perform these procedures when medical and combat lifesaver personnel
are not available. As soon as medical personnel are av ailable, assist them, as
necessary, in treating and evacuating the casualties.

3. Move a casualty, if necessary, using a four-man litter squad.
Note. If military vehicles and litter materials are not available, continue with step 4.

Skill Level 2

Note. Four-man litter squad bearers should be designated with a number from 1 to
4. The litter bearer designated as #1 is the leader of the squad.

a. Prepare the litter.
(1) Open a standard litter.
(2) Lock the spreader bars at each end of the litter with your foot.
b. Prepare the casualty.
(1) Place the casualty onto the litter using the modified two-man
arms carry or the modified two-man fore-and-aft carry.
(2) Secure the casualty to the litter with litter straps.
c. Lift the litter.
(1) Position one squad member at each litter handle with the litter
squad leader at the casualty's right shoulder.
Note. The leader should be at the right shoulder to monitor the casualty's
condition.

(2) On the preparatory command, "PREPARE TO LIFT,” the four
bearers kneel beside and grasp the litter handles.
(3) On the command, "LIFT,” all bearers rise together.
(4) On the command, "FOUR MAN CARRY, MOVE ,” all bearers
walk forward in unison.
(a) If the casualty does not have a fractured leg, carry the
casualty feet first on level ground and head first when going up hill.
(b) If the casualty has a fractured leg, carry the casualty head
first, except when going up hill.
(5) To change direction of movement, such as from feet first to
head first, begin in a litter-post carry position. The front and back bearers
release the litter and the middle bearers rotate the litter and themselves.
4. Load casualties onto a military vehicle.
a. Ground ambulance.
Note. Ground ambulances have medical specialists to take care of the casualties
during evacuation. Follow any special instructions for loading, securing, or
unloading casualties.

(1) Make sure each litter casualty is secured to his or her litter.
(Use litter straps when available.)
(2) Load the most serious casualty last.

(3) Load the casualty head first (head in the direction of travel)
rather than feet first.
(4) Make sure each litter is secured to the vehicle.
b. Air ambulance.
Note. Air ambulances have medical specialists to take care of the casualties
during evacuation. Follow any special instructions for loading, securing, or
unloading casualties.

(1) Remain 50 yards from the helicopter until the litter squad is
signaled to approach the aircraft.
(2) Approach the aircraft in full view of the aircraft crew,
maintaining visual confirmation that the crew is aware of the approach of
the litter party. Ensure that the aircrew can continue to visually distinguish
friendly from enemy personnel at all times. Maintain a low silhouette
when approaching the aircraft.
(3) Approach UH-60/UH-1 aircraft from the sides. Do not
approach from the front or rear. If you must move to the opposite side of
the aircraft, approach from the side to the skin of the aircraft. Then, hug
the skin of the aircraft, and move around the front of the aircraft to the
other side.
(4) Load the most seriously injured casualty last.
(5) Load the casualty who will occupy the upper birth first, then
load the next litter casualty immediately under the first casualty.
Note. This is done to keep the casualty from accidentally falling on another
casualty if his litter is dropped before it is secured.

(6) When casualties are placed lengthwise, position them with
their heads toward the direction of travel.
(7) Make sure each litter casualty is secured to his or her litter.
(8) Make sure each litter is secured to the aircraft.
c. Ground military vehicles.
Note. Nonmedical military vehicles may be used to evacuate casualties when no
medical evacuation vehicles are available. If medical personnel are present,
follow their instructions for loading, securing, and unloading casualties.

(1) When loading casualties into the vehicle, load the most
seriously injured casualty last.
(2) When a casualty is placed lengthwise, load the casualty with
his or her head pointing forward, toward the direction of travel.
(3) Ensure each litter casualty is secured to the litter. (Use litter
straps, if available.)

Adjust Indirect Fire
Conditions: Given a pair of binoculars, a radio, a compass, pencils, a
coordinate scale, a map of the target area, a target to engage within the
area, and grid location of friendly troops.
Standards: Determined the target location to within 250 meters of its actual
location. The initial call for fire was made within 3 minutes after the target
was identified. Adjustments were sent within 45 seconds after each round
impacted. Observer entered the fire-for-effect phase using no more than six
rounds (initial round plus five for adjustment). Fire for effect was within 50
meters of the target using successive bracketing procedures (or creeping fire
if danger close).
Performance Steps
1. Locate the target within 250 meters of the actual target location.

3-70

Skill Level 2

a. Locate the target by grid coordinates .
b. Determine the direction from your position to the target.
c. Formulate a call for fire. Include the elements of the call for fire in
sequence.
(1) Observer identification (your call sign).
(2) Warning order (adjust fire).
(3) Location of target.
(4) Description of the target (for example "INFANTRY PLATOON IN
THE OPEN").
(5) Method of engagement (may be omitted if area fire is desired).
(a) If the target is within 600 meters of friendly troops, announce
"DANGER CLOSE" to the fire direction center (FDC) in the initial call for fire,
in the method of engagement phase.
(b) Use creeping procedures to adjust danger close fire. Range
corrections should NOT exceed 100 meters.
(c) Initial target location is reported on the enemy side of the
target.
(6) Method of fire control.
Note. The request for a fire mission would be similar to figure 061-283-6003-1.

2. Transmit the call for fire to the FDC within three minutes of target
identification.
a. Conduct three transmissions.
(1) Send observer identification and warning order. Example:
“A4Z57, THIS IS G3H71, ADJUST FIRE, OVER.”
(2) Send target location. Example: “GRID NG180513, OVER.”
(Give the six-digit grid of the target, with the grid zone identifier, to within
250 meters of the actual target location.)
(3) Send target description, method of engagement, method of fire
and control. Example: “INFANTRY IN THE OPEN, ICM IN EFFECT,
OVER.”
b. Give the direction to the target within 100 mils (M2 compass) or five
degrees (lensatic compass) or give an accurate cardinal direction (no
compass available) of the actual target location. This should be sent before
the first correction, or with the first correction.
3. Adjust rounds to within 50 meters of the target, within 45 seconds of the
impact of each adjusting round.
a. Spot each round when it impacts as right or left, over or short of your
target.
b. Determine corrections for deviation left or right of the target.
Note. Measure deviation. Measure the horizontal angle in mils, using the reticle
pattern in the binoculars or hand measurement of angular deviation. Estimate the
range to the target and divide by 1,000. This is the observer-target (OT) factor. If the
OT distance is 1,000 meters or greater, the OT factor is expressed to the nearest
whole number. If the OT distance is less than 1,000 meters, the OT factor is
expressed to the nearest 1/10th. For example, 800 = 0.8. Multiplying the OT factor by
the deviation measured in mils produces deviation corrections in meters.

c. When the first range spotting is observed, make a range correction
that would result in a range spotting in the opposite direction. For example, if
the first round is short, add enough to get an over on the next round. This is
called successive bracketing (figure 061-283-6003-2). Figure 061-2836003-3 shows the impact of the initial round. The target is 2100 meters
away. Since the round is beyond the target, you must drop. You estimate
that the round is 250 meters beyond the target. Therefore, you must drop
400 meters to start successive bracketing procedures. The round impacted
50 mils left of the target. With an OT factor of 2, the round impacted 100
meters left. Your correction to the FDC is "RIGHT 100—DROP 400—
OVER.”

e. Transmit corrections to the FDC in meters. The initial correction
should bracket the target in range. The adjustment phase of a fire mission
would resemble the example shown in figure 061-283-6003-6. Deviation
correction should be made to keep the rounds on the observer target line.

Figure 061-283-6003-6. Adjustment Phase

f. Use the following guide to establish a bracket. When the estimated
round impact distance to the target is—
(1) More than 400 meters, add or drop 800 meters .
(2) More than 200 but less than 400 meters, add or drop 400
meters .
(3) More than 100 but less than 200 meters, add or drop 200
meters .
(4) Less than 100 meters, add or drop 100 meters.
(5) Add or drop 50 meters and announce fire for effect.
4. Initiate fire for effect. When a 100-meter bracket is split or a range
correct spotting is made, the fire-for-effect phase is entered (figure 061-2836003-7). Figure 061-283-6003-8 shows a simulated pattern that might be

Supervise Construction of a Fighting Position
Conditions: Given soldiers , TOE equipment, and a sector of responsibility.
Standards: Ensured that the initial preparation was accomplished for each
fighting position and that the completed position provided cover,
concealment, and fields of fire.
Performance Steps
1. Ensure that the construction of the individual fighting position
generally follows the sequence below.
2. Assign the location of the position and the sector of fire. The soldier
constructing the position should emplace sector-of-fire stakes.
3. Ensure the soldiers partially clear fields of fire within their sector and
dig a hasty hole for minimum protection, being careful not to destroy
natural camouflage around their positions. They should save sod, grass
clumps, and so forth, for use as camouflage later.
4. Ensure the soldiers dig a hole that is armpit deep. If they have a
natural frontal parapet, the dirt from the hole should be carried away and
camouflaged; if not, it should be used to make a frontal parapet.
5. Ensure the soldiers get into the firing positions and check their fields
of fire. They can now complete a clearing field of fire, clearing only what is
absolutely necessary.
6. Ensure the soldiers camouflage their positions using available
materials (such as sod, grass clumps, foliage) blending the positions with
the surrounding area. The camouflage should be checked from about 35
meters to the front; if the position can be spotted easily, more camouflage
work is needed.
7. Ensure the soldiers construct overhead cover after all of the above
have been accomplished satisfactorily. They should use logs and planks,
4 to 6 inches thick, that will support at leas t 6 or 8 inches of dirt (logs and
dirt should total 12 inches), and dig a cave-like area big enough to get
under.

required equipment or supplies needed to construct the fighting position.
Brief Soldier: Tell the soldier to supervise the construction of a fighting
pos ition with his soldiers , while being evaluated.

b. Excess dirt from hole was carried away and
hidden.
c. Fields of fire were cleared only of minimum
foliage.
d. Position was camouflaged so it could not be
seen 35 meters to the front.
e. Overhead cover was at least 12 inches (with 4 to
6 inches of logs or planks and 6 to 8 inches of dirt).
f. Grenade trenches were dug in position.
Evaluation Guidance: Score the soldier GO if all performance measures
are passed. Score the soldier NO GO if any performance measure is failed.
If the soldier scores NO GO, show what was done wrong and how to do it

Establish an Observation Post
Conditions: Given a squad- or platoon-size element in a defensive position,
a TA-312/PT field telephone and communication wire, or a radio, and a
probable enemy avenue of approach.
Standards: Selected a location for an observation post (OP) that provided
observation of the avenues of approach, was within small-arms range of the
element, and offered adequate cover and concealment. Established
communication between the OP and the platoon leader or squad leader.
Performance Steps
Note. OPs are generally established along probable avenues of approach to listen
and observe and to provide early warning of enemy approach.

1. Select an OP.
a. The site selected for an OP should provide—
(1) Maximum observation of the desired area (specified by the
platoon leader).
(2) Cover and concealment for the occupants of the OP.
(3) Concealed routes to and from the OP.
b. Observation is the best way to determine whether the above
conditions exist at a site.
c. Usually, the best location for an OP is on or near the military crest of
a hill. Topographical crests should be avoided because of the possibility of
being skylined. It may be appropriate to establish the OP well down the
forward slope when observation is restricted by the terrain (figure 071-3265705-1).

d. OPs should be within effective small-arms range of the unit
establishing the OP, and should be supported by other supporting fire when
possible.
2. Establish and operate an OP.
a. Wire is the primary means of communication with an OP and may be
supplemented by radio. Wire and radio antennas should be carefully
pos itioned and camouflaged to avoid detection by the enemy (figure 071326-5705-2).

Figure 071-326-5705-2. Camouflage Communication Lines

b. Personnel going to and from the OP must move carefully so
movement does not reveal the location to the enemy. Separate routes to
and from the OP are established. Camouflage is most important. The OP
should be camouflaged even when natural concealment is adequate.

3-104

071-326-5705

Skill Level 2

c. OPs are operated in reliefs. A minimum of two soldiers is necessary
for each relief. One observes while the other records and reports observed
information. The observer and recorder should switch duties every 20 to 30
minutes, because the visual efficiency of an observer decreases rapidly
after that length of time.
3. Establish and operate an OP during limited visibility.
a. The enemy may use a different, more open avenue of approach
during limited visibility conditions; therefore, an OP may have to be moved
to another position to serve as an OP at night.
b. Limited visibility OPs are usually closer to defensive positions. Night
vision devices may be given for use on the OP. The enemy deploys
infiltrators against the defense at night, so a series of OPs, backed up by
alert troops equipped with night vision devices and by snipers, can counter
this infiltration.
c. OPs are operated in relief except when movement to and from

SUBJECT AREA 21: DEFENSE MEASURES

Conduct a Defense by a Squad
Conditions: Given a squad, a priority of work, and locations for the crewserved weapons designated by the platoon leader.
Standards: Accomplished preparation of a defensive position within the time
specified in the platoon leader's order while maintaining security,
camouflage, and concealment.
1. Designated fighting positions for squad members.
3-118

071-430-0002

Skill Level 2

Performance Steps

1. Designate primary positions.
a. Ensure each position has cover, concealment, and good fields of
fire. Position weapons so their fires overlap, mutually support one another,
and can be integrated, so you can place heavy surprise fire on the enemy.
Watch closely any routes that could provide the attacker cover and
positions from which he can mass his fire on your position. Be sure your
entire squad sector is covered so you can repel any assault.
b. Consider the number of men available, then position each one so
he can support the men on his right and left. When the platoon's key
weapons have been positioned, the men in the squad are positioned to
protect those weapons from a dismounted assault. Each sector of fire must
cross in front of another position at a point beyond hand grenade range.
Site each fighting position using natural cover and concealment; then—
(1) Clear fields of fire to allow each man to do the job for which he
is positioned. DO NOT OVER CLEAR.
(2) Build artificial cover, such as a parapet, if required.
(3) Hide everything.
c. Ensure that all enemy approaches into your squad sector are
adequately covered by automatic weapons fire.
d. Before digging in, move to the front of the position to ensure that
each fighting position has frontal cover from enemy fire and all positions
are mutually supporting.
Note. A good fighting position should allow you to see and fire to the front when not
receiving effective direct fire; however, if effective direct fire is received, the soldier
can move behind frontal cover and fire to the oblique.

e. To position each weapon of a rifle squad, follow the procedures
below.

Skill Level 2

071-430-0002

3-119

Skill Level 2

2. Designated alternate and supplementary positions for squad members.
3. Ensured all squad members followed assigned priority of work.
4. Maintained security.
5. Continued work as rapidly as possible.
6. Maintained camouflage and concealment (to include noise, light, and litter
discipline).
7. Constructed positions properly.

Performance Steps

Skill Level 2

(1) Automatic riflemen. Identify dismounted avenues of approach,
such as ravines, draws, and heavily wooded or brushy areas that are not
covered with the machine gun. In areas covered by the machine gun, find
out what dead space the machine gun has and cover it with automatic rifle
fire, if possible. If there is no dead space, assign a sector that will interlock
with and overlap the machine gun's sector and final protective fire.
(2) Grenadiers. Position grenade launchers to cover the dead
space of the automatic weapon final protective fire. They must also be
positioned to cover the entire squad sector.
(3) Riflemen. Position riflemen between the remaining positions to
give continuous observation and fire throughout the squad sector. They
provide mutual support between positions and identify targets for the
squad and platoon key weapons (grenade launcher, squad automatic
weapons, machine gun, and Dragons).
(4) Claym ore mines. Use these to cover any dead space that
cannot be covered with 40-mm grenade launchers, and to supplement the
fire of your riflemen.
f. Select a position from which you can control the fire of your squad.
Use your weapon only when necessary to protect yourself, to direct fire, or
to influence the action at a critical point. Position yourself slightly behind
the squad so you can observe and contact your squad, or at least your
team leaders. If your squad strength is reduced, or the terrain does not
permit you to establish a position to the rear, man a forward position. In
this case, you may have to construct a single position to be able to observe
your squad sector. You must be able to maintain contact with your platoon
and fire team leaders from whatever position you select. Look for covered
routes that you can use to move to the positions of your team leaders and
platoon leader.
2. Designate alternate positions.
a. Prepare alternate positions so they are ready for occupation by the
squad when the primary positions are no longer defendable. The locations
of alternate positions are highly dependent upon the terrain, cover and
concealment, and existing enemy situation. They must be near enough to
the primary positions so the squad can cover the same sectors of fire as
from the primary positions, without sustaining excessive casualties. A
soldier's alternate position may be to the flank or slightly to the rear of his
primary position.
b. When selecting alternate positions, consider the following points:
(1) Do they allow the weapon(s) or element(s) to accomplish the
same mission as from the primary positions?

3-120

071-430-0002

Skill Level 2

(2) Do they provide—
(a) Observation of the primary sector of fire?
(b) Cover and concealment?
(c) Maximum use of natural and artificial obstacles?
(d) Control of the key terrain in the squad sector?
(e) Cover of the avenues of approach into the sector?
(f) Cover and concealment of withdrawal?
c. Pick squad alternate positions based on the alternate pos itions of
key weapons (M60 machine gun, M249 machine gun, and Dragon).
d. Depending on their priority, prepare alternate positions immediately
after the completion of the primary positions. Construct communication
trenches between prim ary and alternate pos itions as time and terrain
permit. When supervising the preparation of alternate positions, ensure
that they are sited and constructed to take maximum advantage of the
natural defensive characteristics of the terrain and the capabilities of
organic weapons.
3. Designate supplementary positions.
a. Orient supplementary positions, unlike alternate positions, in a
different direction than the primary position normally, within 200 meters of
the primary positions. As time and terrain perm it, prepare communication
trenches to provide covered routes between primary and supplementary
positions.
b. When selecting supplementary positions, consider the following:
(1) Do they allow the squad to defend as part of the platoon against
enemy attack from the flank(s) and rear?
(2) Do they cover the most dangerous avenues of approach, other
than those into the primary positions?
(3) Do they meet the same guidelines that apply to placement and
construction of primary and alternate positions?
Evaluation Preparation:
Setup: Select an area in the field with varying terrain, cover, and
concealment. Show the squad leader the squad's area of responsibility.
Brief Soldier: Tell the soldier that he is to select primary, alternate, and
supplementary positions, in an area specified by the platoon leader,
ensuring that the supplementary position is oriented in a different direction
than the primary position.

Consolidate a Unit
Skill Level 3

Conditions: Given a squad leader with a squad or platoon sergeant with a
platoon or acting platoon leader defending as part of a larger unit. The unit
has just repelled an enemy assault.
Standards: Consolidated the unit (squad or platoon) in the defense
following enemy contact.
Performance Steps
Once enemy resistance on the objective has ceased, the squad or
platoon must quickly take the following steps to consolidate and prepare
to defend against a counterattack:
1. Reestablish security if the observation post (OP) withdrew back to
the defensive position, send them back out. If the OP did not return, they
must be accounted for and returned.
2. Use snipers (if available) for targets of opportunity. They may be
employed with the OP or at a vantage point on or behind the defensive
positions.
3. Restore camouflage and improve fighting positions. Do not overcamouflage positions. If it was not found during the first assault, chances
are it will not be found during the next counterattack.
4. Reestablish communications to higher headquarters and throughout
the platoon and squad. Check wires to ensure it does not break during the
attack. Change pyrotechnic signals for the enemy may have learned what
they represent.

action, especially if the enemy has snipers. Soldiers must use caution
when moving about. Request smoke to conceal their movement or have
them wait until limited visibility.
6. Reposition fighting and weapons positions. If the squad or platoon
has just repelled an attack, the enemy may have found some of the
positions. Reposition those that have been compromised.
7. Reassign sectors of fire to ensure that all gaps caused by the
evacuation of casualties are covered and that the firing positions remain
mutually supporting.

part of a larger unit; your element has just repelled an enemy assault.
Standards: Reorganized the unit (squad, platoon, or mortar section) in the
defense following enemy contact.
Performance Steps
Skill Level 3

1. The platoon leader must plan the required reorganization of the
platoon while defending (either deliberate or hasty). He must include his
plan in the order to the squad leaders. The plan must be tentative and
flexible and may be changed as the situation evolves. The leader's plan
must be complete and as detailed as possible.
2. Reorganize a unit:
a. Reestablish the chain of command; fill all key positions from the
remaining element members and ensure the new chain of command is
disseminated down to the last member of your element.
b. Evacuate the dead and seriously wounded according to your
casualty evacuation plan. Ensure all positions and s ectors remain
mutually supporting. Check all sectors of fire after all casualties are
evacuated to ensure all sectors are covered. If necessary, shift positions
or reassign sectors to cover any gaps in your sector.
c. Redistribute or resupply ammunition, weapons, and fuel. Ensure
the squad leaders pass out additional ammunition (if available), or divide
the remainder equally throughout the squad or platoon. Conduct a quick
inventory and submit a supply request to higher headquarters if

Prepare an Operation Overlay
Conditions: Given a complete copy of the operation order (OPORD) that
your unit is to execute, a commander's or a battalion operations officer's (S3)
guidance (to include time available for preparation), overlay paper, tape, a
map of the operational area, colored pencils (red, black, blue, green, and
yellow), a No. 2 pencil, a coordinate scale, and FM 101-5-1.
Standards: Within the specified time, identified the overlay by map
reference data, effective date, and purpose. The overlay contained
classification markings and downgrading instructions, if applicable and
distribution instructions and authentication, if distributed separately.
Prepared overlay in accordance with overlay techniques outlined in
FM 101-5-1, with boundaries and unit locations plotted to within 50 meters,
and tactics and fire support measures to within 25 meters.
Performance Steps
Note. Overlay techniques involve the use of military symbols to portray, in a
condensed form, the plans, orders, and information concerning a military operation.

1. Register the overlay.
a. Orient the overlay material over the map area to the annotated
portion and temporarily attach it to the map with the tape.

Skill Level 3

Performance Steps
b. Trace the grid intersections nearest the opposite corners of the
overlay and label each with the proper grid coordinates.
2. Plot new detail. Use colored pencils or markers in standard colors, when
available, to plot any detail (FM 101-5-1); otherwise, plot the activity you
wish to show with a pen or pencil that makes a lasting mark without cutting
the overlay. Use standard military symbols where possible. When the author
invents nonstandard symbols , they must be identified on the edge of the
overlay. Show only that detail with which the document is directly
concerned. Standard colors are—
a. Blue or black. Friendly units, installations, equipment, and activities.
b. Red. Enemy installations, equipment, and activities.
c. Yellow. Any areas of chemical, biological or radiological
contamination.
d. Green. Any man-made obstacle.
3. Mark the overlay classification. The classification of the overlay is
dependent upon classification of the order used to prepare the overlay. Mark
the top and bottom of the overlay with the classification.
4. Recognize overlay techniques.
a. Use solid and broken lines. When the location of a unit or installation
or coordinating detail (for example, line of departure or boundary) is in effect
and will continue, or is made effective by the order prepared, the appropriate
symbol is shown by solid lines. The symbol indicating any proposed or
future location, or coordinating detail to become effective later, is shown by
broken lines.
b. Boundaries.
(1) Boundaries show areas of tactical responsibility. In the offense,
these are referred to as zones of action. In the defense and retrograde,
they are referred to as sectors of responsibility. When described orally,
lateral boundaries are described from rear to front in the offense and from
front to rear in the defense and retrograde.
(2) Rear boundaries are used when the area of responsibility for
forward units must be precisely defined. When a rear boundary is not
delineated, the rear limit of a unit area of responsibility is determined by
visualizing a rear boundary drawn generally parallel to the front, preferably
along a natural terrain feature, and connecting at the rearward limit of the
unit lateral boundaries.

Note. If only one color is available, enemy symbols are depicted with double lines.

Performance Steps
(3) If a rear boundary is shown, the size indication along the
boundary corresponds to the low unit. Arm or branch is shown when
required to prevent confusion (figure 071-332-5000-1).

Figure 071-332-5000-1. Rear Boundary

Skill Level 3

(4) Desirably, boundaries are drawn along terrain features easily
recognizable on the ground, and are situated, if possible, so the key terrain
features, avenues of approach, and river are wholly inclusive of the one unit.
They are shown by a solid line if currently in effect or made effective by the
order prepared. Their use is based on the techniques and tactics peculiar to
the type of tactical operation in which they are used.
(5) Future or proposed boundaries are shown by a broken line and
labeled to indicate the effective time, if appropriate (figure 071-332-5000-2).

Figure 3-071-332-5000-2. Proposed Boundary

(6) A symbol is placed on the boundary to show size and
designation of the highest units that share the boundary.
(7) If the units are of unequal size, the symbols of the higher unit are
shown and the designation of the lower is given completely to show its size.
The boundary between the 52d Infantry Division and the 230th Infantry
Brigade (separate) is shown in figure 071-332-5000-3.

Performance Steps

(8) On overlays or sketches accompanying written or oral orders that
specify task organization, unit designation on battalion boundaries indicate
the numerical designation. If the battalion is organized into a task force, the
letters “TF” precedes the numerical designation. A unit symbol is identified
as task force by placing the symbol (||) over the unit size designation (||).
Company boundaries are labeled with the appropriate letter unless the
company is organized into a team. In the latter case, the boundary is labeled
with the abbreviation “TM” and the letter designation or a code name. On
other boundaries, only the unit designation needed for clarity is required.
Branch designations may be added when necessary for clarity. When
unequal-size units have a boundary in common, the designation of the
smaller unit is spelled out.
c. Axis of advance.
(1) An axis of advance arrow should extend only as far as this form
of control is essential to the overall plan. Normally, it is shown from the line
of departure (LD) to the objective following an avenue of approach. It
indicates that the commander may maneuver his forces and place them
freely to either side of the axis to avoid obstacles, engage the enemy, or
bypass enemy forces that could not threaten his security or jeopardize the
accomplishment of his mission. The commander ensures that such
deviation does not interfere with adjacent units, that his unit remains
oriented on the objective, and that the location and size of the bypassed
enemy forces are reported to higher headquarters. Boundaries may be
assigned as an additional control measure when using the axis of advance,
if the situation so dictates.
(2) An axis of advance is shown below, identified by a code. It could
be identified by a unit designation (figure 071-332-5000-4).

d. Direction of attack arrows. This control measure is used when the
commander desires to specify the direction in which the center of mass of a
subordinate unit must move in an attack to ensure the accomplishment of a
closely coordinated plan of maneuver (for example, in a night attack or
counterattack). A direction of attack arrow should extend from the line of
departure to the objective and is not labeled (figure 071-332-5000-6).

(1) The arrow should be used only where necessary because it
restricts the maneuver of the subordinate unit.
(2) When a unit is directed to seize successive objectives with its
main attack along a certain line, either one arrow extending through the
objectives to the final objective or a series of arrows connecting the
objectives may be used.
(3) The double arrowhead is used to distinguish the main attack for
the command as a whole (figure 071-332-5000-7).

e. Graphic portrayal of units assigned a security mission.
(1) To show the general location of a unit with a security mission,
arrows generally indicate the terrain over which the unit operates and the
farthest extension of its mission (figure 071-332-5000-8).

(2) The primary security mission normally is shown on an operation
overlay; however, a secondary or proposed mission is not shown.
f. Graphic portrayal of supply routes.
(1) The main supply route (MSR) is the route(s) designated within an
area of operations upon which the bulk of traffic flows in support of military
operations. The route is labeled MSR and assigned a code name.
Note. The term MSR is not used below division level.

(a) In the defense, the division extends the MSR forward to the
brigade trains. The brigade's supply route (SR) extends from the battalion
trains to a point at the rear of the forward company defense sectors.
(b) In the offense, the proposed SR may be shown forward to
the objective or as far as the battalion supply officer (S4) can visualize the
combat service support for the operation. Forward of the LD, it is shown as
a broken line.
(2) The symbols to show the division (offensive action) are shown in

be drawn so its center corresponds with the coordinates at which the unit is
located (figure 071-332-5000-10).

Figure 071-332-5000-10. Location of a Unit

(2) To show the location of a training area, observation posts, or
logistical activity, the center of the symbol also should correspond with the
coordinates at which the element is located. The illustration shown is the
location of an observation post (figure 071-332-5000-11).

normal placement of symbols. Offset staffs may be "bent" as required. The
offset staff is dashed for future or proposed locations. Offset staffs extend
vertically from the bottom center of the symbol (except for command posts
[CP]). The end of the offset staff indicates exact locations of CPs and aid
stations and the center of mass for other units or installations. The staff for
a CP symbol is always on the left edge (figure 071-332-5000-12).

(4) Location of units.
(a) The locations of attacking units normally are indicated by
boundaries (and CP symbols, when the locations of the CPs are known) or
by unit symbols.
(b) The location of the reserve is indicated by an assembly area
symbol and by a CP or unit symbol.
(c) Reserve units of a force assigned defense position or battle
position normally are shown by a line enclosing the area occupied or to be
occupied—in other words, a "goose egg." These positions may be
numbered or lettered for convenient reference. An occupied and
unoccupied company assembly area (reserve location) is shown in figure
071-332-5000-13. An occupied and unoccupied reserve company battle

(b) If the LC is used as an LD, it is marked LD/LC.
(c) If the LC is not used, the LD is shown by a solid line marked

(3) Phase line (PLs). PLs are used to control the progress of units
for reference in issuing orders or receiving reports. They should be easily
recognized terrain features, normally perpendicular to the direction of
advance. A PL is also used to control fires and unit movement and even to
limit the advance of attacking elements. Units report their arrival at, or
clearance of, a PL, but they do not halt unless ordered to do so. A PL is
drawn as a solid line with the letters PL at each end of the line or, where
appropriate, to allow easy identification. A PL is identified further by a
number, a letter, or code name (which can be phonetic letters, colors,
flowers, cars, or any other code system) under or beside the PL
abbreviation (figure 071-332-5000-21).

(4) Initial delay position (IDP). An IDP is where a delaying action
begins, trading space for time. The delay sector is defined by boundaries.
The initial and all subsequent delay positions can be related to a timephased forward edge of the battle area (FEBA). The initial and subsequent
delay positions are specified, and PLs may be used to report the progress of
the battle. The enemy is held forward of delay lines until the specified time
or until permission is granted to withdraw. The initial and successive delay
positions are shown on boundaries by coordination points with a solid line
between them. Although most IDPs are given a code name, they may have
a number, letter, or a variety of code names. The letter abbreviation (IDP)
can be to the flank of the coordination symbol (when at the flank, it is in
parentheses) or on the line itself. Its time phase is indicated as a date-time
group having a two-digit day and a four-digit hour, both connected. The
month indicator can be a three-letter type or spelled out, depending upon
the desires of the commander. The letters IDP should be placed in
parentheses between the line code name, letter, or number and the datetime group (figure 071-332-5000-22).

(10) Linkup points. A linkup point should be an easily identifiable
point on the ground and map that is used to facilitate the joining, connecting,
or reconnecting of elements of a unit or units. They are used when two or
more Army elements are to join each other, when Army and sister service
elements are to join each other, and when Army or sister service and allied
elements are to join each other. The linkup is an operation in itself and is
conducted as part of an airborne or airmobile operation, an attack to assist
in the breakout of an airborne or airmobile operation, an attack to assist in
the breakout of an encircled force, or an attack to join an infiltrating force.
The battalion may participate in a linkup as part of a larger force, or it may
conduct a linkup. The symbol for linkup points is similar to a checkpoint with
a dot in the center. A number, the name, or code name is placed near the
symbol in such a manner as to ensure it is referring to the symbol (figure
071-332-5000-26).

know where his position will be in each type of formation.

Figure 191-378-4302-1. Squad Line Formation with Squad Leader and
Assistant Squad Leader
Note. As an offensive formation, this formation is used to push or drive crowds
straight back across an open area or up a city street. As a defensive formation, it is
used to hold a rioting group in place or to deny them access to restricted streets or
areas.

a. Face the squad and give the command, "Squad as skirmishers ..…."
Simultaneously, give hand signals with the command by raising your arms
straight out, horizontal to the shoulders, hands extended, palms down.

Control Organic Fires
Conditions: Given a unit equipped with TOE weapons, attached fire support
elements (machine gun teams, antitank teams, TOW squad, BFV), an area
of responsibility, and the requirement to regulate the first of all weapon
systems assigned or attached to your unit.
Standards: Assigned sectors of fire for each individual and crew-served
weapon; issued a priority of target engagement appropriate for each weapon
system; inform ed all personnel of current rules of engagement (ROE); and
implemented procedures to engage threat targets in your area of
responsibility in a timely manner, with the appropriate weapon system, and
without causing injury or death to friendly personnel.

WARNING
Soldiers may be killed or injured when firing weapons. Minimum firing
distances, backblast areas, and weapon-specific regulations must be
strictly followed.
1. Implement procedures to apply the following principles of fire control:
a. Avoid target overkill; keep in mind ammunition conservation.
b. Use each weapon in its intended role.
c. Concentrate on engaging targets that offer a high probability of a
kill.
d. Concentrate on engaging long-range targets first.
e. Destroy targets that pose the greatest threat first.
2. Use fire control methods to—
a. Maximize the effects of the weapons on the target.
b. Achieve mutual support.
c. Provide coverage of assigned area of responsibility.
d. Ensure soldiers' safety from friendly fire.
3. Use the following methods to coordinate and regulate fire.
a. Assign sectors of fire. Assign an area for each crew-served
weapon, team, or unit to cover by fire. Targets in each assigned sector are
the responsibility of the individual(s) assigned to cover the area with fire.

Skill Level 3

Performance Steps

Skill Level 3

b. Assign priority of fires. Tell each soldier, according to weapon
assignment, what to fire at, when, and why. This ensures each weapon is
used in the role for which it is best suited. (For example, Dragon gunners
engage light armored vehicles; BFV gunners engage tanks with the TOW
and BMPs with the 25-mm; riflemen engage dismounted personnel out to
400 meters.)
c. Use target reference points (TRPs). Designate recognizable points
on the ground (natural or manmade) to use as reference points when
identifying sectors of fire or targets, or to control supporting fires.
d. Assign final protective fire areas. Assign final protective lines (FPL)
or principal direction of fire (PDF) for machine guns and other automatic
crew-served weapons, ground- or carrier-mounted (MK 19, BFV coaxial,
25-mm, and so on).
4. Use any of the following techniques to communicate when to start,
shift, or cease fire.
a. Prearranged signals. Use visual or sound signals (pyrotechnics,
whistles, horns, detonation of a device, or firing of a weapon), or set a
specific time.
b. Arm-and-hand signals. Use standard signals when feasible.
Remember, personnel must see arm -and-hand signals in order to respond.
c. Fire by example. Initiate firing at, or in the direction of, the intended
target and have the unit or specific weapon system follow your example.
d. Fire commands. Some elements of fire commands may be omitted.
If any element is omitted, ensure the unit or crew thoroughly understands
the command. Every fire command should contain the target description
and execution element as a minimum. (See tables 071-410-0019-1 and
071-410-0019-2 for examples of fire command elements.)

*If the BFV gunner cannot identify the target, the Bradley commander (BC) engages
the target f rom his position. The BC announces “From my position, on the way.”
“Fire” is not announced.

(1) Use fire commands to direct the fires of units or key weapons
and to place a specific type fire on certain targets. Fire commands for
some weapon systems may vary in form because of weapon
characteristics. They should identify who is to fire, the direction of fire, type
of ammunition, type of target, range, and when to fire.
(2) Correct errors in fire commands by stating “CORRECTION,”
correcting the element in error, then repeating all elements following the
corrected element.
(3) Use subsequent fire commands to adjust for range or new
targets. For example, shift left (or right) up (or down) and designate new
target. For subsequent fire commands for a Bradley, use shift left (or right)
PC and up (or down) half or full target frame.

approach routes were checked for mines, booby traps, and signs of
ambush.
b. Ensure when time is available, dismounted personnel are sent
forward first, covered by the remaining elements of the unit. The number
of dismounted personnel sent forward depends on the size of objective
and on available approaches, cover, and concealment. If the dismounted
patrols find that the near edge of the area is clear, the remainder of the
unit moves quickly forward. The dismounted patrols then continue the
reconnaissance, over watch and follow closely by the remainder of the
unit.

c. When conducting a mounted reconnaissance, part of the unit
remained mounted and moves forward cautiously but rapidly, over
watched by the remaining mounted elements. If the near edge of the area
is clear, the over watching elements move forward quickly and the
advance continues.
4. Reconnaissance by fire.
a. Reconnaissance by fire is accomplished by firing on likely or
suspected enemy positions in an attempt to remove camouflage and to
cause the enemy to disclose his presence by movement or return fire.
During reconnaissance by fire, positions being reconnoitered must be
observed continuously so enemy activity can be quickly and definitely
located.
b. Reconnaissance by fire may be employed by route
reconnaissance teams as a security measure when time is critical and the
loss of surprise is not essential.
c. If the enemy returns the fire, the situation is further developed. If
the fire is not returned, reconnaissance continues. However, caution
should be exercised, for reconnaissance by fire often fails to disclose the
presence of a well-disciplined enemy.

conduct an area reconnaissance within a specified time.
Standards: Satisfactorily performed the following within the time specified
by the commander:
1. Organized the platoon into the command, reconnaissance, and security
elements needed to accomplish the mission.
2. Conducted a reconnaissance using the surveillance or vantage-point

3. Obtained and reported information about the terrain and enemy within the
specified area.
3-264

071-720-0015

Skill Level 3

4. Entered and left the target area without being detected by the enemy.

1. Estimate the situation. When the reconnaissance mission is received,
develop an estimate of the situation. Base the estimate on current
intelligence about the enemy in the vicinity of the target area, and on the
capabilities of the unit. While planning for the mission, have the unit
prepare for the mission also. Tailor the organization to best support the
mission. The reconnaissance element of a platoon will normally be no
larger than a squad.
2. Plan details. Develop the overall plan with a consideration of the
following factors:
a. Use Intelligence. All reconnaissance operations must be based on
the best information available as to actual conditions in the objective area.
b. Use deceptive measures. The success of reconnaissance
operations is determined, to a large extent, on deception measures and on
undetected infiltration and exfiltration.
c. Use the smallest unit possible to accomplish the mission. This
decreases the possibility of enemy detection. Though only a small element
reconnoiters, the parent unit must be large enough to provide security or
support if the reconnaissance is detected or an enemy force engages the
element.
d. Remain undetected. The unit uses stealth, camouflage,
concealment, and sound and light discipline. These techniques allow the
unit to take advantage of periods of limited visibility to avoid contact and to
get near, or on, the objective.
e. Use surveillance, target acquisition, and night observation (STANO)
devices. The unit makes use of STANO devices to help it move and gain
information about the enemy. Based on intelligence reports, consideration
must be given to the enemy's detection devices. When the enemy may
have detection devices, passive devices should be used to decrease the
probability of enemy detection.
f. Rehearse. After intelligence has been analyzed, the plan
developed, special items of equipment procured and issued, and the troops
briefed, the unit rehearses the plan. This rehearsal is a key factor that
enhances the probability of the success of the operation. Rehearsals are
as detailed as time allows and include dry runs and briefings with repetition
and questioning as needed to ensure understanding of the plan.
Contingency plans are also rehearsed. To ensure that the contingency
plans are understood, the reconnaissance members must repeat them.

Performance Steps

Skill Level 3

g. Minimize audio and electronic communications. Constraints on
communication depend on enemy detection abilities and on how time
sensitive the information obtained from the enemy is. There may be
instances where the importance of the information requires an immediate
report. The unit's existence could be threatened. Often, a one-time radio
contact during the mission is necessary.
h. Inspect. The planning phase of the operation includes at least one
inspection of all members of the reconnaissance force, to include their
equipment. Only essential equipment, identified by the platoon leader as
equipment required for mission accomplishment, is carried. Special
equipment must be closely inspected and safeguarded to ensure it
functions during the mission. Extra personnel and equipment assigned to
the unit must also be carefully inspected and monitored prior to and during
the operation. Any shortcomings found in personnel or equipment are
corrected before the operation begins. Thorough inspections and
supervision of personnel and equipment before the operation reduce the
probabilities of compromise or failure.
3. Assign subordinate missions. Regardless of the types of
reconnaissance, units are normally assigned one of the three subordinate
missions: Command and control, reconnaissance of the objective, or
security of the force.
a. Command and control. The commander of the unit conducting a
reconnaissance normally requires a small command group to assist in
communicating with higher headquarters, subordinate elements, and
supporting forces, and to coordinate and control supporting elements, fire
support, and air or water transport for the operation. For small operations,
this group may consist of only the commander and a radio operator. For
larger operations, the commander may require intelligence, logistics, and
fire support elements, with adequate communication personnel for
sustained 24-hour operations. The command group is always kept as
small as possible.

3-266

071-720-0015

Skill Level 3

b. Reconnaissance of the objective. The element with the
reconnaissance mission approaches the target using stealth and
concealment. All plans and applicable contingencies are conducted with
the major effort made toward obtaining the information required while
remaining undetected. The reconnaissance element must skillfully avoid
all known and discovered enemy sensing devices; therefore, patience is
important. Passive STANO devices will be used to observe activities at the
objective. Information received about the target may be transmitted back
to the appropriate headquarters by electronic means as it is observed. Or,
the reconnaissance personnel may withdraw from the target and
disseminate information by other means. The reconnaissance site should
be sterilized before withdrawal. Withdrawal from the area must be as
skillful, patient, and precise as was the movement into it.
c. Security of the force. The reconnaissance element(s) with this
mission must provide the commander sufficient warning of the location and
movement of enem y forces to permit the parent force to take evasive
action or, when this is not possible, to provide covering fires that permit
withdrawal of the reconnaissance element. Only if warnings are timely and
information is accurate does the commander have the time and space to
react. It is also the only way that, if the reconnaissance element is
detected, the commander can arrange to give it sufficient over watching
suppressive fires or time to evade and withdraw safely.
4. Conduct an area reconnaissance and obtain information about a
specific location and the area immediately around it (for example, road
junctions, hills, bridges, enemy positions). Designate the location of the
objective by either grid coordinates or a map overlay with a boundary line
drawn around the area.
a. Once given an area reconnaissance mission, the platoon moves to
the appointed area in the shortest possible time. This normally involves
traveling along existing roads and, of course, using the appropriate
movement techniques. During this movement to an area, the platoon
reports and bypasses enemy opposition unless ordered to do otherwise.
b. When the platoon reaches its area, it halts and sets up an objective
rallying point (ORP). Once the ORP has been set up, the objective can be
reconnoitered in one of two ways :

3-267

Skill Level 3

Performance Steps

Performance Steps
(1) When the terrain permits the security element to move to a
pos ition to over watch the reconnaissance element, the leader may decide
to have small reconnaissance teams move to each surveillance point or
vantage point around the objective instead of having the entire element
move as a unit from point to point. After the objective has been
reconnoitered, the elements return to the ORP and information is issued.
The patrol then returns to friendly lines.
(2) When the terrain does not allow the platoon to secure the
objective area, the platoon leaves a security element at the ORP and uses
reconnaissance and security (R&S) teams to reconnoiter the objective.
These teams move to different surveillance points or vantage points, from
which they reconnoiter the objective. Once the objective has been
reconnoitered, the R&S team returns to the ORP, shares the information,
and returns to friendly lines.

4. Determine the role of EW.
a. Define EW.
(1) EW is the means through which commanders protect their own
electronic systems while attacking those of the enemy.
(2) EW exploits, disrupts, and deceives enemy command and
control while protecting friendly use of communications and noncommunications systems.
(3) On the battlefield, EW is divided into two categories: offensive
and defensive.
b. Define electronic attack (EA).
(1) Offensive EW is referred to as EA.
(2) EA is the transmission of electronic jamming signals that
disrupt the enemy's communications and other signal emitter systems. It
also transmits false communications that deceive enemy forces through
their own information collection systems.
(3) EW assets are targeted in much the same way as artillery and
other weapon systems.
(4) EA includes jamming and deception.
c. Define electronic warfare support (ES).
(1) Enemy sources of radiated electromagnetic energy are
searched for, located, and identified through a process called ES.
(2) ES focuses on the immediate requirements of the tactical
commander.
(3) ES includes the efforts to search, identify, intercept, and locate
electronic emitters.
d. Define electronic protection (EP).
(1) Defensive EW seeks to protect friendly use of the
electromagnetic spectrum by employing EP.

3-282

301-371-1150

Skill Level 3

Performance Steps
(2) EP is the actions taken to protect friendly command, control,
and communication (C3) from enemy collection and disruption efforts.
(3) EP is planned around the commander's mission and concept
of operations, and is the responsibility of the operations officer (G3/S3).
Based on the mission, those communications and electronic systems that
must be protected are identified and their vulnerability to enemy EA is
assessed. The operation of these systems is then planned and monitored
to ensure that the times, frequencies, duration, and location of their
emissions provide the greatest possible security from enemy collection
and disruption efforts.

5. Determine the role of counterintelligence (CI).
a. Counters the hostile intelligence threat.
b. Safeguards the command from surprise.
c. Deceives the enemy.
d. Counters enemy sabotage, subversion, and terrorism.
6. Identify the major intelligence disciplines.
a. Human intelligence (HUMINT) includes all information derived
through human sources not accessible to other collection assets.
HUMINT employs overt, covert, and clandestine operations to achieve
worldwide collection objectives.
b. Imagery intelligence (IMINT). IMINT can be obtained from land,
sea, air, and space platforms (radar, photographic, infrared, and electrooptic imagery).
c. Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is the products resulting from the
collection, evaluation, analysis, integration, and interpretation of
inform ation derived from intercepted electromagnetic emissions.
d. Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) is scientific and
technical intelligence obtained by quantitative and qualitative analysis of
data derived from technical sensors for the purpose of identifying any
distinctive features associated with the source, emitter, or sender and to
facilitate subsequent identification or measurement.
7. Recognize how IEW supports the battlefield commander.
a. Collect information on enemy forces.
b. Provide targeting data to fire and maneuver elements.

d. Disseminate the intelligence product to the appropriate users.
e. Conduct EW operations.
f. Support operations security (OPSEC) and deception.
8. Identify the staff responsibilities for IEW.
a. The G2 coordinates the intelligence effort. He identifies
intelligence requirements based on the commander's guidance and
concept of the operation.
b. The G3 has staff responsibility for planning and directing the
jamming and deception operations of the command. He directs EA
actions needed to support planned and ongoing operations. He identifies,
in coordination with the G2, ES requirements to support EW.
c. The military intelligence (MI) unit commander manages the MI
assets to accomplish the assigned EW missions. He exercises command
and control (C2) over all organic and attached MI elements and
operational control (OPCON) over supporting MI assets.
9. Identify how IEW is integrated into the combined arms team.
a. Division tactical operations center support element (DTOCSE)
augments the G2 and G3. Part of this element, the electronic warfare
section (EWS), is the principle mission manager for EA. The EWS is also
involved with the fire support element in the targeting process.
b. The analysis and control element (ACE), formerly referred to as
the technical control and analysis element (TCAE), is part of the MI
battalion tactical operations center (TOC) and is the asset manager for all
ES and EA missions tasked to the MI battalion.
c. Intelligence and electronic warfare support element (IEWSE) is
attached to the maneuver brigade TOC from the MI battalion. This
element serves as an interface between MI assets in the brigade area and
the brigade S2 and S3.
d. The G2, G3, fire support officer and communications -electronics
(CE) officer coordinate and direct IEW operations. They obtain the
information required to answer the commander's requirements concerning
both enemy forces and friendly vulnerabilities. They integrate EA with
maneuver and fire and plan and coordinate OPSEC measures and
defensive EP measures to protect from enemy intelligence collections
operations.

Conditions: You are a squad leader in a field environment, given a squad of
soldiers, DD Form 2745, and enemy prisoners of war (EPWs) with
equipment and weapons.
Standards: Ensured soldiers searched, segregated, silenced, speeded,
safeguarded, and tagged (5 Ss and T) EPWs according to FM 3-19.40.
Performance Steps

1. Search captives.
a. Thoroughly search each captive and confiscate any weapons,
ammunition, military equipment, and items with intelligence value and
record on DD Form 2745.
Note. Any weapons or ammunition that are impractical to retain should be destroyed
in place after recording what the items were.

b. Allow captives to keep personal property (except items that could
be used as weapons or that could have intelligence value) of nominal or
sentimental value, such as wedding rings. Personal property also includes
chemical protective equipment (if in a chemical environment or a potential
chemical environment), helmets, and identification cards. Allow the
EPW/civilian internee (CI) to retain his own rations in the early stages of
captivity.
Note. Conduct same gender searches when possible; however, this may not always
be possible due to speed and security considerations. Therefore, mixed gender
searches must be performed in a respectful manner using all possible measures to
prevent any action that could be interpreted as sexual molestation or assault. The
squad leader must carefully control soldiers doing mixed gender searches to prevent
allegations of sexual misconduct. This does not mean the search will not be
thorough, as the safety of you and your soldiers comes first.

Supervise the Implementation of Preventive Medicine Policies
Conditions: You are a leader in a unit performing a mission in a field
environment. You are responsible to ensure personnel employ preventive
medicine measures (PMMs) to protect themselves from disease and
nonbattle injuries.
Standards: Ensured soldiers applied PMMs, as appropriate, to protect
against cold, heat, biting insects, diarrhea and dysentery, hearing loss, skin
infections, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS), and foot problems. Ensured soldiers practiced good oral
hygiene and properly dispos ed of waste. Ensured that the Army tobacco
use policies were applied.
Performance Steps
1. Ensure proper preventive medicine measures (PMM) are followed for
protection against cold injuries.
a. Wear layers of loose clothing.
Note. Minimize sweating. When clothing becomes wet or dirty, it loses its ability to
provide warmth.

(1) Remove layers of clothing before doing strenuous work.
WARNING
Do not remove protective clothing in a chemical environment.

Skill Level 4

(2) Replace layers of clothing when your strenuous work is
completed.
(3) Launder clothing regularly.
b. Exercise to increase blood circulation.
(1) Tighten and relax arm and leg muscles, fingers, and toes.
(2) Use hands to massage and warm the face.
WARNING
Physical and mental weariness contribute to inactivity, reduced heat,
and increased chance for cold injury.
(3) Refrain from smoking. Smoking decreases blood flow to the skin.
Skill Level 4

081-831-1047

3-315

Performance Steps
c. Change socks.
(1) Put on dry socks during rest breaks to reduce the risk of frostbite
and trench foot.

Severe frostbite and trench foot can result in the loss of hands or feet.
(2) Put damp socks inside your shirt around your waist to dry.
d. Prevent dehydration.
(1) Drink sufficient fluids (potable water, juices, and warm
nonalcoholic beverages).
Note. Drinking a sufficient amount of potable water in cold weather is as important as
it is in hot weather. In cold weather, you may not realize that your body is losing fluids
and salt. Sweat evaporates rapidly or is absorbed so completely by the layers of
clothing that it is seldom visible on the skin.

(2) Rest when possible.
e. Pair with a buddy.
(1) Remind each other to do warming exercises often.
(2) Watch for signs of cold injury such as frostbite, trench foot, and
hypothermia.
2. Ensure proper PMMs are followed for protection against heat injuries .
a. Drink sufficient amounts of water.
Note. Your body needs a minimum amount of water for cooling, waste elimination,
and metabolism. Any attempt to train the body to use less water can be harmful and
may lead to heat injuries.

Ensure Unit Combat Lifesaver Requirements Are Met
Conditions: You are an NCO appointed as the combat lifesaver program
coordinator. The combat lifesaver correspondence course is going to be
used for the unit training.
Note. The combat lifesaver program coordinator will be the medical NCO, if one is
assigned.

Standards: Conducted the combat lifesaver program in accordance with
AR 350-1, paragraph 4-12 and subcourse IS0826.
Performance Steps

Performance Steps
2. Determine the number of personnel who need to be trained. Check
local unit personnel training records to determine the number of qualified
combat lifesavers and distribution of the CLs by squad. (See step 9,
Ensure combat lifesavers maintain proficiency.)
Note. There should be at least one combat lifesaver per squad, crew, or
equivalent-size unit.
Note. If there are too few soldiers to be trained, check other units in the area about
combining students for the course. There is the possibility you may have too many
students requiring more frequent classes until the required number are trained.
Note. Recommend that all qualified combat lifesavers notify the combat lifesaver
coordinator as soon as a new assignment notification is received. This will allow
the coordinator to schedule training of replacement combat lifesavers. A list could
be generated by S-1 PAC that shows personnel PCS/ETS and CL status.

3. Contact the appropriate staff surgeon combat lifesaver program
supervisor at corps/division/brigades and separate brigade-size units.
The coordination should be accomplished prior to the start of training.
Note. A phone call, e-mail, or memorandum giving notification of intent to conduct
a course is normally sufficient. In real life the PAs at the Bn level are aware of the
training for local units and the Bn senior medical NCO will probably run the course.

4. Identify and appoint a qualified Instructor and assistants as applicable.
a. Estimate the number of instructors/assistants required.
Note. The surgeon combat lifesaver supervisor or an experienced CL instructor
should be able to give you an idea of the student to teacher ratio. Also, if you can
obtain a copy of the lesson plans in IS0826, you can determine the number of
instructors and assistants required for each lesson.

Note. The primary instructor will be at least a senior medical NCO and either hold
primary 91W, 18D or be a licensed paramedic (state or national), registered nurse,
physician assistant, or physician. The instructor for the intravenous infusion lesson
must be an expert in administering IVs and qualified to handle emergencies that
could arise when students practice initiating IVs. (This can be a senior 91W, 18D,
LPN, EMT-1 or P, RN, PA or MD.) For the IV portion, the student/instructor ratio
needs to be two students per instructor.

5. Enroll selected unit personnel in the combat lifesaver training course
at least eight weeks before group instruction begins.
Note. Tell the soldiers they can receive eight promotion points for successful
completion of the combat lifesaver course.

Note. Include equipment for the buddy -aid tasks, IS0824, even though it may not
be taught in a group. The equipment will be used for the performance evaluation.
Note. Plan on enough materials to allow for practice and retests. Your instructor,
the staff surgeon combat lifesaver supervisor, or previous instructors of the CL
course may be able to give you an idea of how much extra to have on hand.
Note. The combat lifesaver program is a continuous ongoing program and
requires continuous equipment and material support for the already qualified CLs.
Be sure to maintain contact with your supply source to ensure your CL supplies are
programmed into the system.

1. Coordinate with adjacent elements. After receiving an order for an
offensive or defensive operation and during the planning phase, consider
coordination with adjacent elements. If you receive the order while all
other platoon-size element leaders are present, take that opportunity to
coordinate as much as possible to avoid delays later in the operation.
While many of the details that must be coordinated will vary with the
situation, always coordinate essential items.
2. Coordinate in the offense. In the offense, coordinate—
a. Lateral distance between all attacking elements.
b. Movement routes, to ensure that mutual support by fire or
maneuver can be maintained between the lead elements.
c. Visual signals, such as arm -and-hand signals and pyrotechnics.
d. Radio call signs.
3. Coordinate in the defense. In the defense, coordinate to ensure that
there are no gaps, and that fires interlock and are mutually supporting.

Appendix B

GUIDE TO FORMS
This appendix contains a lis t of forms pertinent to SMCT and CTT
evaluations and administration. In the electronic, online version of this
manual, hot links will, where indicated, provide downloadable and
reproducible copies of the forms. The user can also visit the CTT site in the
Reimer Digital Library where access to the CTT Manual and CTT Notice
(Bulletin) provide additional helpful information and links. Some of these
forms may be available in your unit.
DA Form 5164-R (Hands On Evaluation), used by CTT scorer to record
GO/NO GO for each performance measure in a given task. Refer to the
CTT Manual for the current FY (in the Reimer Digital Library) for links to DA
Forms 5164-R that are overprinted with the performance measures for each
task on the current CTT.
CTT Performance Sheet used by the CTT scorer to compile all GO/NO GO
scores to produce an overall GO or NO GO for the soldier’s common task
test. As with the Hands On Evaluation form above, the CTT Performance
Sheet is different for each FY; it is overprinted with the tasks from the current
CTT and linked from the CTT Manual (in the Reimer Digital Library) for the
current FY.
DA Form 5165-R (Field Expedient Squad Book ), used to record task
proficiency for groups of soldiers in a squad. This squad book should be
especially beneficial for recording training results gathered during MTP, field
exercises, or individual training sessions. Once training is completed,
trainers may transfer information from DA Form 5165-R to the leader book
(FM 25-101).
CTT Roll Up for SL 1-2 and SL 3-4, used by trainers and administrators to
record performances for larger, unit-size groups of soldiers. This form is a
good means of seeing and reporting an overall ratio of soldiers passing the
CTT to the total of those tested.
DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms),
used by soldiers and trainers to record any comments or questions
regarding the task summaries contained in this manual. Use the task
proponent address for the appropriate proponent code given in appendix A
(first three digits of the task number).

analysis

1. The process of moving any person who is
wounded, injured, or ill to and/or between medical
treatment facilities. 2. The clearance of personnel,
animals, or materiel from a given locality. 3. The
controlled process of collecting, classifying, and
shipping unserviceable or abandoned material,
United States and foreign, to appropriate
reclamation, maintenance, technical intelligence, or
disposal facilities. (Army) - 1. The ordered or
authorized departure of noncombatants from a
specific area by the Department of State,
Department of Defense, or appropriate military
commander. This refers to the movement from one
area to another in the same or different countries.
The evacuation is caused by unusual or emergency
circumstances and applies equally to command or
noncommand-sponsored family members. 2. A
combat service support function that involves the
movement of recovered material, personnel,
casualties, bodies, prisoners of war, and so forth,
from a forward collection point along a main supply
route to a rearward, usually higher unit, exchange
point, or facility. (See also collection point and
medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).) See FMs 1-111,
1-112, 7-10, 7-20, 7-30, 8-10-6, 17-95, 17-100, 71-123,
100-5, and 100-15.
A full 30-inch step as used when marching (1.3
paces = 1 meter).
The second phase in the hazards analysis process.
This phase assesses the areas potentially affected by
the release of a hazardous material, including on
and off the installation; includes gathering
information on the extent of the vulnerable zone,
conditions that influence the zone, size and type of
population within the zone, missions and critical
systems that may be impacted, property that might
be damaged, and the environment that might be
affected.
