| REFERENCES: | The material contained in this lesson was derived from FM 90-13. |
INTRODUCTION
Effective C2 is essential for a successful river-crossing operation. Normally, during a river-crossing operation, both a division and a brigade are task-organized with unfamiliar assets (such as bridge companies). This, besides the requirement to pass a large volume of traffic across a water obstacle quickly, makes effective C2 very difficult. Chapter 3 of FM 90-13 describes the procedures used to establish effective C2 (see FM 90-13).
This lesson described the C2 of river-crossing operations. Specifically, it outlined the—
- Control elements used in a river-crossing operation.
- Communications networks necessary for a river-crossing operation.
- Control measures used in a river-crossing operation.
