| CONDITION: | You are given the material contained in this lesson. |
| STANDARD: | You will correctly answer all practice-exercise questions at the end of this lesson. |
| REFERENCES: | The material contained in this lesson was derived from FM 90-13. |
INTRODUCTION
The planning and execution of a river-crossing operation is different from all other operations a unit will conduct. In planning the operation, an engineer commander and staff must take special considerations into account. They must use special procedures in the execution during either a deliberate or a retrograde crossing. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of FM 90-13 provide the details for planning and executing river-crossing operations (see FM 90-13).
This lesson described the planning and execution of river-crossing operations. Specifically, it outlined the—
- Steps in planning a river-crossing operation.
- Requirements for a division deliberate river-crossing operation.
- Tactics and techniques for a division retrograde river-crossing operation.
