General Situation
You are an MP squad leader who has been given the mission to conduct a hasty
route reconnaissance.
You have a fully equipped, three team patrol.
You
are to conduct the reconnaissance of a possible MSR that will have to carry
double-flow, wheeled traffic. You have been told that you have 10 hours in
which to complete the mission. All of your team members are experienced and
your patrol is fully equipped. Enemy activity has been very light, except
for one stretch 8 to 12 kilometers out.
Civilians in the area are
considered friendly. Zone reconnaissance operations are being conducted on
both sides of the route. Their nearest boundary to you is 1 kilometer.
1.
From your analysis of the mission, you develop a checklist and time
schedule.
You are going to use bounding overwatch from 7 to 13 km out.
Your schedule should
A.

rapidly.
B.
not be concerned with the area 7 to 13 km out since your mission
will be to engage the enemy.
C.
allow greater time throughout the route since you can collect
more information that way with experienced personnel.

bypass.
In checking the time, you realize that the patrol is about 30
minutes behind schedule. You
A.
ignore the time since you made-up the schedule.

gather data on the bridge and determine from your priority list
where to make up the time.
