Q

Ground [GET]/[CLEAP]
 Close and detailed study of maps, air photos and intelligence reports will help to identify the obstacles, defiles and ground likely to be defended.

A

 Sources of ground info are: [GET]
1. Going reports.
2. Engineer intelligence on bridges, obstacle, logistic facilities airfields, and airstrips.
3. Town plan.

 From the study of the ground a Cdr will arrive at the deduction on: [CLEAP]
1. Changes of grouping
2. Likely rate of Adv (ROA)
3. En en-route, Strength and weakness of likely en posn
4. Any specific action requireddealing with specific defile e.g. an airmobile op.
5. Possible routes.

 Grnd and En consideration does not separate definitively, they are closely interrelated.

Assessment of Tasks
 The Cdrs’ Initial Appre must consider: [LT 4W]

A
  1. Levels at which Reserves must be held in order to:MRE

  2. The ratio of Infantry to Armor in the leading element
  3. Whether to Adv on a Broad or Narrow front. This will be influenced by: MET GO
    a. Msn
    b. En
    c. Time and space
    d. Ground
    e. Own situation

Q

 Terrain: [Main TLP]

A

  3. Laterals available
  4. Presence of obstacles
16
Q

Time and Space
 Major consideration on Time and Space factor are:

A
  1. Time by which the Adv can commence
  2. The approx time and loc where the en is likely to be encountered
  3. Time rqr for the clearance of en opposition enroute
  4. Time by which the task should be completed
17
Q

 Combat intelligence: [LDMT]

A
  1. Local resources
  2. Defensive positions
  3. Move of the en res
  4. Topographical
18
Q

Command and Control
 During Adv command and control can be achieved by: [BPG COG]

  2. Posn of the Cdr
  3. Good tfc ctrl
  4. Comns
  5. Orders
  6. Good battle procedure and Dply drills
19
Q

 Tactical Grouping in Advance

A
  1. Reconnaissance elements.
  2. Advanced Gd.
  3. Flank Gd.
  4. Main Body.
  5. Rear Gd.
20
Q

 Reconnaissance Elements Tasks: [LDO]

A
  1. To locate the en delaying posns
  2. To detect gaps or lightly held areas in the en def sys which can be expl to envelop or bypass
  3. To obtain info on going and routes

 Normally based on Armr or MechInf sub units suitably strengthened with other sp arms.Exact composition of the Recce Force depends on:
1. Frontage to be covered.
2. Likely en opposition.
3. Nature of any special msn which may be assigned.

21
Q

 Tasks of the Advanced Guard: [GDP]

A
  1. To give info about the en, grnd, routes and obst
  2. To drive in minor opposition
  3. To prevent the main body from running blindly into the en
22
Q

 The functions of the Van Guard in Adv are: [GDP]

A
  1. To give info of the en
  2. To drive in minor opposition and to secure firm base for main gd to dply
  3. To protect the Main Gd from the front
  4. Estfirm base to facilitate the deployment of MG if the opposition is too strong
23
Q

 Flank Guard [GSM]

A
  1. Generally based on Armor or Infantrysp with sp arms
  2. Should keep to min to maintain main body
  3. May move parallel to adv axis or hold piquet
24
Q

 The order of March(OOM) of the Main Body should provide for the fol: [CAR]

  2. A balanced group to take over the AdvGd
  3. Rapid centralization of Sp arms
25
Q

 Points to be borne in mind for grouping

A
  1. Adequate recce elements operate ahead and to the flank
  2. Gun group must move well forward
  3. Elements move in order in which they are to be employed
  4. Commanders at all level should be well forward
  5. Only bare essentials adm. elements such as recovery vehicle and ambulances should move with leading elements
  6. Arty and engineer require early reccee should move well forward
