Q

Star Clusters

A

-used for signaling and illuminating
-issued in an expendable launcher, which consists of a launching tube and firing cap. -
produce a cluster of five free-falling pyrotechnics.
- Types. Red, White and Green
- As the signal is expelled, four flexible steel fins unfold to stabilize the signal during flight. After the signal rises approximately 6 meters, the rocket motor, which has ignited by the propelling gases, begins to burn fully, forcing the signal to a height of 200 to 215 meters (650 to 700 feet). At that point, a delay element ignites an ejecting charge, which in turn forces the five-star illuminant cluster out of the nose of the signal body.
- Firing data. burns 6 to 10 seconds. Their rate of descent is 14 meters (45 feet) per second

Q

Fighter Leader Concept

A
  • More effective for a fire team or squad leader to execute what he / she wants done rather than verbally communicate it.
  • Must maintain situational awareness and be prepared to provide the fire or execute the movement that reorients their unit on the enemy and accelerates the speed of the unit’s assault
32
Q

Base Unit Concept

A
  • Control the speed, direction, and orientation of their entire unit by locating themselves in close proximity with the base unit, a designated sub-unit that serves as a reference point for the other sub-unit’s related movements
  • Control their entire unit by driving the base unit through the objective area
  • Foundation is effective lateral and implicit communication
33
Q

Reasons for Base Unit

A
  • The squad leader to control his unit when verbal commands cannot be heard.
  • Ease of control when visibility restrictions do not allow team leaders to see the squad leader.
  • Extend the flexibility of small unit direction changes down to the fire team leader, enabling him to maximize the use of micro-terrain allow
  • Fire teams to maximize the use of movement and firepower within the team.
  • Squad leader to quickly change the direction and speed of the attack using hand and arm signals to direct the base unit fire team and allowing the other two teams to follow the base unit
34
Q

Application of Base Unit Concept

A
  • Squad leader positions himself next to the team leader of the team designated as the base unit
  • Squad leader controls the squad by using the base unit fire team leader
35

Report the reason for detainment, the operation being conducted during
Detainment/custody and actions that were taken by the detainee/EPW
and the detaining/reporting unit during custody/capture.
-Where: Notify higher of the grid coordinate(s) of detainment and grid
coordinate(s) of current location
-When: State date time group (DTG) of detainment and current DTG of report
-Why: Report reason for detainment and what supporting documentation hasbeen acquired/created to ensure proper custody

53
Q

  • Non-walking wounded
  • Sick
  • Walking wounded EPWs are evacuated through military police EPW evacuation channels
  • Non-walking wounded and the sick are delivered to the nearest medical aid station and evacuated through medical channels
55
Q

EPW Safeguard

A
  • May not be murdered, mutilated, tortured, degraded or punished for alleged criminal acts without a previous judgment pronounced by a legally constituted court.
  • Allowing an EPW to retain items of personal protection (e.g., helmets and flak jackets) as the Geneva Convention forbids a captor from placing an EPW at greater risk than his captors
  • Preventing or stopping any/all violent action that occurs between EPWs while they are being detained
  • Will not be located next to obvious targets such as ammunition sites, fuel facilities, or communications equipment.
  • First aid and medical treatment will be provided to the same extent that the US provides to its own forces
56
Q

M72 LAW Back Blast Area

A

-Extends at a 30-degree angle arc from the rear of the launcher
-The Area 15 meters behind the launcher is the Danger Zone
-The area 25 meters behind the launcher is the caution zone
-Keep clear a total area of 40 meters behind the launcher when firing
-As long as the structure has a volume of 50 cubic meters, you may fire the LAW inside a building

Noise
Dust
Pressure
Light

Q

Considerations of the Base Unit Concept

A

-Connecting Files. The flanking fire team members nearest the base unit must maintain visual or physical contact with the base unit so the squad leader can direct them.
-Buddy Team/Pair. One Marine is in the “fore” position while one Marine is in the “aft” position.
-Suppress, Assess, Move
-“The 300 Mil Rule”:
-Individual Actions:
o Use high crawl to gain ground and to be able to access weapon if needed, especially when under sporadic fire or when negotiating low obstacles
o Use low craw when under intense fire or for negotiating low obstacles
o Execute rushes in short intervals to covered and concealed positions

62
Q

EPW Search Team

A

An EPW Search team consists of a cover-man and a search-man. The cover-man is responsible for providing protection for the individual who is conducting the search of an EPW. The cover-man is armed and positions himself in such a manner that he never has the search-man between himself and the EPW (i.e. search-man and cover-man are at a 90 offset. This may require that the cover-man move around the EPW as the search is being conducted. The cover-man should remain alert; approximately 4-6 feet from the search man and never take his eyes off the EPW.

63
Q

Female Searches

A

When conducting searches on female EPWs, the searcher should be a female, but if someone other than a woman is conducting the search, then the order of preference for the searcher is: a Medical Officer (doctor), officer, corpsman, or responsible enlisted Marine.
