waterborne Flashcards
security zones+factors affecting zone size location
reaction zone- 1000yd from HVA
intercept zone- 1000yd from outerboundary
assessment zone- outermost security zone
currents
waterway depth
water levels
natural+manmade obstacles
currents- effect fuel consumption+ speed, anchoring
depth- route selection
water levels- planning and execution
obstacles- debris, branches, stumps
guard mount
checkpoint/guard post
smeac
situation mission execution admin and logistics command and signals
contact report
generated by lookout + includes: distance of contact from hva bearing in/outbound flag pax/crew equipment
SITREP
situation report transmitted by leading officer
high seas at/fp program
provides approach in addressing terrorist threats
shadowing
deter vessels before they become a danger
herding
COI(contact of interest) inside intercept zone; force it out
shouldering
physically forcing vessel to change course
SCOF 1-4
SEAWARD CONTINUUM OF FORCE
1- show presence, hail, sirens, hand movements, man weapon stations, aggressive maneuever, herd contact
2- flares, spotlight, train weapons
3- warning shots across the bow
4- destructive fire
crew served weapons from patrol boat
m2, m240, mk19
shoot to stop forward motion; engine
waterborne defense
concept of asset protection; using an assessment zone, security zone and reaction zones
shot procedures
authorized when vessel enters protective zone
approaches at high rate of speed
when escalation of force, radio calls, flares and all other means have failed
security boat tactics
single boat- exercise sharp judgement
multiple-boat- will randomly patrol near outer edge of warning zone and assess vessels
launch and recovery sites
in high threat environments protection and security is paramount
selection of routes
hydrography
enemy capabilities
supporting primary+alt plans
terrain
selection of base site
defendable
mooring
operational+comms range
potential to deploy combat
3 coastal riverine patrols:
recon
security
support
recon- forces sent out for info
security- defense of waterway
riverine- logistics+fire support, deception
interdiction
interception
interdiction- actions to disrupt enemy capabilities
interception- sanctions against merchant shipping
screening vessel
react vessel
screening- interposed between HVA and threat
react- intercepts threat
small craft threat
small weapons, explosive assaults, hit and run
aircraft threat
planes, heli, hang gliders, ultralights used to observe allies
deep draft threat
merchant ships used as bomb transport, major vessels can block port
subsurface threats
divers, SDV(submerged delivery vehicles), subs, mines,
divers threat
use the night and currents to reach targets
mines threat
IED, explosives underwater
