  3. CONSIDERATIONS FOR DANGER AREAS • A DANGER AREA SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED • A UNIT SHOULD NOT SPEND MUCH TIME DEALING WITH A DANGER AREA • UNIT’S DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT SHOULD NOT BE PARALLEL TO A DANGER AREA • AVOID A DANGER AREA, IF POSSIBLE ICS1103

  4. TYPES OF DANGER AREAS LINEAR DANGER AREA - VULNERABLE TO ENEMY OBSERVATION OR FIRE PREDOMINATELY FROM FLANKS. OPEN AREA DANGER AREA - VULNERABLE TO ENEMY OBSERVATION OR FIRE FROM THE FRONT AND FLANKS. ICS1103

  5. CROSSING A DANGER AREA -THREE PHASES OF CROSSING DANGER AREAS: a. IDENTIFICATION: - POINT MAN HALTS PATROL. - PL DECIDES IT IS A DANGER AREA AND ACTIONS THE PATROL WILL TAKE. b. FAR SIDE RECONNAISSANCE: - SCOUTING FIRE TEAM CONDUCTS RECONNAISSANCE - SCOUTING TEAM NORMALLY CONSISTS OF POINT MAN, COVER MAN, NAVIGATOR, AND SECURITY TEAM LEADER. c. CROSSING:-CONTROLLED BY APL. ICS1103

  6. ENEMY CONTACT DURING FAR SIDE RECONNAISSANCE • IF THE ENEMY DETECTS THE SCOUTING FIRE TEAM ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE DANGER AREA: • THE FLANK SECURITY OPENS FIRE ON THE ENEMY. • MAIN BODY OF PATROL TAKES UP AN OVER-WATCH POSITION AND FIRES ON ENEMY. • SCOUTING FIRE TEAM BREAKS CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY AND REJOINS PATROL. • SMOKE AND INDIRECT FIRES MAY BE USED TO SCREEN THE MOVEMENT OF THE PATROL TO A NEW LOCATION FOR CROSSING THE DANGER AREA.

  11. AVOIDING A DANGER AREA PATROL ENCOUNTERS A DANGER AREA THAT THE PL DECIDES TO GO AROUND, THE PATROL AVOIDS DANGER AREA BY MAKING A SERIES OF 90-DEGREE AZIMUTH CHANGES UNTIL THE PATROL BYPASSES THE DANGER AREA. ICS1103

  13. ENEMY CONTACT AT DANGER AREAS - PL WILL ALWAYS DESIGNATE NEAR AND FAR SIDE RALLY POINTS TO AID IN THE REORGANIZATION OF THE PATROL IF SEPARATED WHILE CROSSING A DANGER AREA. - PL IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO CROSS A DANGER AREA AND THE APL IS ONE OF LAST TO CROSS DANGER AREA, SO IF THE PATROL BECOMES SEPARATED, THERE IS LEADERSHIP ON BOTH SIDES.
