security zones and

factors that can effect zone size/ location

Security zones varies depending on Area Of Operation (AO) and the size of the
HVA
-Physical characteristics of the area,
-the threat
-available assets

how WATER LEVELS determine

navigability of the waterways

utilize the charts for the depth of the waters
Ensure charts are up-to-date and the tide changes will not put the craft in shoal
water to prevent running aground.

“b.a.d”

Discuss a SITREP

report

-SF91
message transmitted by any unit CO
what, who, where

High

Seas AT/FP Program

High Seas, utilize ROE. You have the inherent right of Self-Defense

SMALL

CRAFT

Personnel armed with small arms often are not capable of sinking a tactical boat

DEEP DRAFT

VESSELS

Blockage of a major port or waterway caused by a disabled ship pose a significant threat to a port

SUBSURFACE

THREATS

swimmers/divers, submerged deliver vehicles

SWIMMERS/ DIVERS

take advantage of night and currents to reach their target
bubbles, snorkels, piles floating debris, phoshorescent, wakes, and other
abnormalities

MINES/ IMPROVIDED

EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

Tactical boat crews may be the first to spot floating mines

method for delivering an IED is to float the device on the incoming tide

SHADOWING

shadowing a watch and monitoring what they are doing

HERDING

when the COI is inside the intercept zone and previous attempts to stop or reroute the COI have failed.

SHOULDERING

physically force a | vessel to stop or change course

SEAWARD CONTINUUM | OF FORCE LEVEL I

``` Initial Hail, Blue lights (KMARTS), horn, sirens, waving of arms, loud hailer Weapons Ready (condition 3, ```

SEAWARD CONTINUUM | OF FORCE LEVEL II

-Secondary Hail, Spotlight at the night, Unambiguous Warning devices (LRAD), LA-9P (utilize at night)

SEAWARD CONTINUUM | OF FORCE LEVEL III

-Final Hail, Warning Shots

SEAWARD CONTINUUM | OF FORCE LEVEL IV

-Disabling/ Destructive Fire

Discuss the employment of Crew Served | Weapons from a patrol boat

- 1 M2HB (50 Cal) Forward(200RDS) - 2 M240 One Port and One Starboard 400RDS - M4 WITH 120 ROUNDS - M9 WITH 45 ROUNDS - M500 WITH 4 FLARES

waterborne defense in depth

-Aim, Offset, Depress and Fire

Patrols: RECONNAISSANCE

either point or area. reach its objective, accomplish its mission, and return to friendly positions without being detected

Patrols: SECURITY

secures the approaches to friendly forces or | installations/facilities

maritime | operations: INTERDICTION

gain and maintain control of riverine and coastal areas denying hostile forces the use of waterways, providing security, collecting intelligence information

SCREENING VESSEL

Determines Intent

REACT VESSEL

Positioned in the React zone and is the last line of defense

6 criteria for warning shots

- rifle or crew served weapon - qualification on weapon - ordered by competent higher authority - clear view of fire - over open water - when all lesser means have failed or cannot be reasonably employed
