Figure 6-4. DA Form 1355-1-R
The threat is described by Levels (I, II, III) as a planning guide and defenses are planned and assigned
based on these levels. However, the threat levels do not restrict responses. The RAOC must apply the
force needed to destroy the threat. In some instances, a Level I threat may require MP response
forces. MP response forces may delay a Level III threat. The rule is to apply the force required to
destroy the threat.
The engaging of hostile forces should not automatically arrive from base defense. They should prepare
to defend the base, then report the hostile force. They then should observe it. But, they should
continue their logistic support mission. The base/base cluster commander must understand when the
enemy should be engaged. He should inform the RAOC/RTOC of his actions when he does engage
the force.
