SCREEN BOAT in a high
value asset (HVA)
defense
Operates what zone? D I I C R W
Operates in the warning zone -detect, identify, investigate, classify, report, warn off
roles of
REACTION BOAT in a
HVA defense:
Position itself between the threat
and the HVA.
INTERCEPT AND
ESCORT BOAT in a HVA
defense
Used to warn approaching vessels
of the warning zone and request
them to slow or stop
Discuss the mission of
Harbor Approach
Defense
Provides safe passage of strategic sealift to and from anchorages, ports, and harbors typically from 3 to 50 miles offshore Denies the facilities to the enemy. Overt and defensive in nature.
Rules of engagement
(ROE) as it pertains to
use of force
Theatre specific. Who can be
engaged and why
Rules on use of force
(RUF) as it pertains to
use of force
Graduated escalation of force
steps. Always starts with the least amount
of force necessary

Strong side- side of craft with heavy
weapon
Weak side- side of craft with light
weapon
Discuss the following fields of fire: Head on engagement
Present the smallest target to the
enemy while bringing maximum
firepower onto the target
Discuss the
Assessment Zone
Monitor vessels that can be a threat
Discuss the Warning
Zone
Increases reaction time, access is
controlled
Discuss the Threat
Zone
Inner most ring. No potential hostile
threats are allowed within
Landward Threats as
they pertain to CRF
operations
Affects the landside guys at ECP
physical security plan to prevent terrorist attacks on HVA.
Physical security plan increases existing
physical security measures depending on
how critical and attractive HVA is
Discuss the following defensive measure: Craft of opportunity
Supplements security force
Discuss the following defensive measure: Host Nation Support
Allied forces which provide support
defensive
measure:
Floating
barriers
lines
of demarcation may be deployed to
augment the waterborne defense
defensive
measure:
Static weapons
emplacement
Static weapon emplacements may be
positioned on piers, anchored or moored
vessels
defensive
measure:
Electronic
sensors
Radar, Sonar, Thermal Imaging Sensor (TIS)
and a Visual Imaging Sensor (VIS)
defensive
measure:
Observation
post
Provides visual detection capabilities
defensive security boats patrols: Three or more crafts
OPTIMUM DEFENSIVE POSTURE for HVA
defense.
defensive security boats patrols: Two boats
Deployed near outer edge of warning zone,
supported by static weapons and Craft of
Opportunity.
defensive security boats patrols: Single boat
Only used as a LAST RESORT. Always
supported by floating barriers or static
weapons

checklist of
inspecting
watercraft
person open all compartments and
spaces themselves while keeping hands
visible
procedures for hostile or unknown VOI. (Vessel of Interest)
Station one or more boats outside the warning zone to warn approaching vessels of the warning zone and request them to slow or stop prior to entering the zone.
Discuss the following point defense operations: HVA Pier-side
Provide defense by using surveillance,
intelligence, and deterrence.
Discuss the following point defense operations: HVA at Anchorage
Large area with more challenging
environmental conditions
Discuss the following point defense operations: HVA Underway
May include embarked security
detachments on board the HVA, patrol
boat escorts, or both
Describe
procedures for
escorting a HVA
while in transit.
Provide defense in depth with layered
defensive zones
Plan the route, clear all suspicious
vessels and inspect for possible hazards
