  1. PATROLLING FUNDAMENTALS ICS1101 ICS1101

  2. TLO’S • Prepare for a patrol by achieving six of eight inspection requirements. • Pass through lines. • Perform individual actions in a patrol by performing assigned duties without compromising the patrol. ICS1101

  3. Patrol • Definition: A detachment sent out from a larger unit to perform an assigned mission of gathering information, carrying out a harassing or destructive combat mission or a security mission. ICS1101

  4. Patrol • PURPOSE • Commander needs current information. • Destroy enemy installations • Capture enemy • Security • Prevent the enemy from gaining information • Maintain contact with enemy or friendly ICS1101

  5. Types of Patrols • Classification by Mission • Reconnaissance • Route • Area • Zone • Combat (USCAR) • Urban • Security • Contact • Ambush • Raid ICS1101

  6. Reconnaissance patrols • gather information about the enemy, terrain or resources. Relying on stealth rather than combat strength, they gather information and fight only when necessary to complete the mission or to defend themselves. ICS1101

  7. Route reconnaissance • a directed effort to obtain detailed information of a specified route and all terrain from which the enemy could influence movement along that route. ICS1101

  8. Area Reconnaissance • a directed effort to obtain detailed information concerning the terrain or enemy activity within a prescribed area such as a town, ridgeline, woods or other features critical to operations. ICS1101

  9. Zone Reconnaissance • a directed effort to obtain detailed information concerning all routes, obstacles (to include chemical or radiological contamination), terrain, and enemy forces within a zone defined by boundaries. ICS1101

  10. Combat Patrols • This is a fighting patrol that is assigned a mission that may require it to engage the enemy. • a combat patrol is stronger and more heavily armed then a reconnaissance patrol. • A combat patrol is assigned the mission to destroy enemy troops, equipment, or installations; capture enemy documents, equipment, or installations; and as a secondary responsibility, gather information. ICS1101

  11. Urban Patrol • A vast majority of urban patrols are overt in nature; the patrols presence is readily apparent to the local populace. The majority of urban patrols are security patrols. ICS1101

  12. Security patrols • assigned missions that may or may not require them to engage the enemy. • They are used in proximity to defensive positions, on the flanks of advancing units or in rear areas. • Purposes of security patrols are to detect infiltration by the enemy, destroy infiltrators, and protect against surprise and ambush. ICS1101

  13. Contact Patrol • establishes and maintains contact to the front, flanks, or rear of either a friendly or enemy force. ICS1101

  14. Ambush Patrol • An ambush is a surprise attack from a concealed position upon a moving or temporarily halted target. ICS1101

  15. Raid Patrol • a patrol that executes a limited objective, surprise attack on an enemy force or installation and then conducts a planned withdrawal after accomplishing its mission. ICS1101

  16. Patrol Organization • GENERAL • Headquarters • Security Element • Support Element • Assault Element • Special • Reconnaissance and Security teams • Assault and Demo teams • Search and EPW teams • Any other team by mission requirements ICS1101

  17. Individual Tasks • Assistant Patrol Leader • Radio Operator • Navigator • Paceman • Flanks ICS1101

  18. Inspect • Determines state of readiness of men • Just before rehearsals • 8 Inspection Requirements: • Prescribed weapons, equipment • Camoflauge • ID tags/Geneva convention cards • Any unnecessary items ICS1101

  19. Inspect (cont) • Mission, route, fire support • Your assignment, and when you perform it • Other members Responsibilities • Challenge/Password, call signs, frequencies, code words, reporting times, and any other pertinent details ICS1101

  20. Rehearse • Ensure all members of patrol know what exactly they are to do in any situation • Prioritize: 1. Actions on objective 2. Actions on enemy contact 3. Crossing danger areas 4. Etc. ICS1101

  21. Noise and Light Discipline • Camouflage and Concealment • Blend in • Trash and Gear • Light Discipline • Reflection/ Shine • Noise Discipline • Silenced Gear • Talking • Frequent Listening Halts ICS1101

  22. Conduct Of Patrol • Passage of Lines • Organization for Movement • Control Measures • Return From the Objective ICS1101

  23. Exiting Friendly Lines • Patrol moves to Assembly Area • Forward unit coordination • Request guide if needed • Return to get patrol • Patrol moves out in tactical column • Nearing Passage Point patrol moves into dispersed file • PL requests permission to depart friendly lines ICS1101

  24. Exiting Friendly Lines (cont) • APL moves to front of column, behind guide • Once through the barrier plan, APL counts out members of patrol through exit of barrier plan • Transition to tactical column and move out • Conduct security halt outside the range of direct weapons from defense ICS1101

  25. Exiting Friendly Lines ICS1101

  26. Control Measures • Check Points • Track Progress • Coordinated with higher prior to departure • Rally Points • Where patrol regroups if necessary • Easily recognized, cover/concealment, defensible • 300-500m apart along route • Near and far side of danger areas ICS1101

  27. Control Measures (cont) • Initial Rally Point (IRP) • In friendly area • En Route Rally Point (ERP) • Between the initial rallying point and the objective rallying point • Objective Rally Point (ORP) • Final prep before objective • Cover/concealment • Leader’s recon • Release point • Drop gear if not needed • Patrol reassembles after mission accomplishment ICS1101

  28. Security Halts • Short security halt • Listen for enemy • Halt, face out board, attempt to find cover,concealment • Long security halt • When need to • Eat, rest, send message, check direction-anything that the patrol will be stationary for long time • From 360 perimeter, take cover • Sectors of fire, LP/OP • Position automatic weapons ICS1101

  29. Long Security Halt ICS1101

  30. Reentry of Friendly Lines • Long Security halt at Reentry rally point • Request permission to renter friendly lines • PL moves to contact point with security to meet guide • Initiate far recognition signal, then near recognition signal • PL returns to get patrol and bring to contact point • Guide leads patrol through barrier plan • PL counts patrol in with cover man to ensure there are no enemy infiltrators ICS1101

  31. Reentry of Friendly Lines ICS1101

  32. Debrief • PL gives Forward Unit Commander a quick sit-rep • Takes patrol to S-2 for complete debrief • Always conduct debrief as soon as possible after patrol returns ICS1101

  33. Patrol Steps A. Study the mission B. Plan use of time C. Study terrain/situation D. Organize patrol E. Select men, weapons, and equipment F. Issue warning order G. Coordinate H. Make reconnaissance I. Complete detailed plans J. Issue patrol order K. Supervise, inspect, rehearse L. Execute mission ICS1101

  34. Summary • Definition and purpose of patrol • Types of Patrols • Patrol Organization • Individual Tasks • Inspections and Rehearsals • Rally Points and Security Halts • Exit and Entry of friendly lines ICS1101
