FM 71-100-2 Appendix

APPENDIX

EXAMPLE TACTICAL STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURE (TSOP)

Section I. GENERAL

A-1. Purpose. This TSOP prescribes guidance for the conduct of sustained tactical operations. Specifically, it standardizes those recurring operational routines, procedures, and responsibilities executed by both organic and supporting organizational elements throughout the division.

A-2. Application and Scope. This TSOP covers only wartime operations after deployment. It does not repeat doctrine, tactics, or techniques that are provided in FMs, technical manuals (TMs), and mission training plans (MTPs). It applies to all organic, assigned, attached, and OPCON units. It also applies to all supporting units operating in or occupying areas within the division's area. All TSOP provisions apply except as modified by operations orders and plans. No provision shall replace good judgment and common sense.

A-3. Directed Supporting Documents.

a. This TSOP and all subordinate TSOPs incorporate all current provisions of FMs, TMs, Army and division regulations, standardization agreements (STANAGs), joint agreements, and status of forces agreements.

b. Each division staff section will develop and implement standard tactical SOPS which will govern procedures for their functional area. Staff section tactical SOPs will conform to the procedures contained in this SOP.

c. Each MSC will publish a TSOP that supports and conforms to the division TSOP. The division chief of staff will approve MSC TSOPs.

A-4. Proponency. The division CofS and MSC executive officers are the proponents for their respective TSOPs, Ensuring compliance with established tactical standing operating procedures throughout the division is a command responsibility which commanders and staffs at all levels must monitor.

A-5. Changes.

a. Changes are submitted through the appropriate coordinating staff officers to the CofS.

b. The CofS coordinates the changes.

c. The division commander is the approval authority.

Section II. COMMAND AND CONTROL PROCEDURES

This section prescribes operating procedures for command and control of the division. (This section is not all inclusive.) It establishes the basic guidelines for procedures and the operation of command posts. Subordinate units will develop their own internal command post SOPs to conform to guidance provided in this SOP.

A-6. Succession of Command.

a. Succession of command for the division is: CG, ADC-M, ADC-S, and CofS.

(1) The new commander notifies the next higher headquarters and all subordinate headquarters of the change of the division commander.

(2) Succession is automatic upon death, capture, or evacuation of the commander. The CofS should be notified as soon as possible to publish assumption of command orders.

b. Command of MSC units are assumed by the executive officer unless directed otherwise (for example, senior battalion commander).

A-7. Alternate Command Posts.

a. The division's alternate main command post is the aviation brigade main CP.

b. The alternate command post for the division's main CP is activated upon the following:

The division main CP's surviving elements inform the command net of attack or destruction and the inability to function.

A unit or element reports that the division's main CP has been destroyed and verification has been established.

c. If the main CP is destroyed or otherwise inoperable, the following units or organizations assume the functions listed below until the main CP is regenerated and operational.

Main CP Function	Designated Alternative
Command Center	Aviation Brigade
G3 Ops/Planning/A²C²	Aviation Brigade
G2 Ops/ASPS	MI Battalion
FSE	DIVARTY
Engineer	Engineer Battalion Staff
ADA	ADA Battalion Staff
NBC Element	DISCOM NBC Section
ADSO	Signal Battalion

d. The TAC CP's alternate command post is the command group. Activation criteria are the same as in paragraph A-7b.

e. The rear CP alternate command post is the DISCOM CP, then the MSB command post.

A-8. Command Post Shift Cycles. All division and MSC command posts conduct staggered shift changes. Shifts of duty are 12 hours in duration. Change of shift briefs will not disrupt continuous performance of CP functions.

A-9. Displacement Operations.

a. Command post displacement for all division and MSCs is by echelon so that command and control of subordinate forces is uninterrupted.

b. Prior to movement, A and B echelons must have redundant capability to perform the functions of the CP.

A-10. Security.

a. Each command post is responsible for establishing its own security.

b. Off-shift personnel sleep in or near fighting positions surrounding the CP.

c. Fighting positions are designated 360° around the CP.

d. CP security elements, when used, establish a security zone 3 to 5 kilometers around the CP. The following operations are conducted to interdict enemy ground forces:

Road checkpoints.

Patrols.

LPs and OPs.

Employment of sensors.

Employment of ground surveillance radars.

e. The CP operations NCO coordinates the employment of the security force.

f. Access to a command post is normally controlled by limiting access to one entrance and checking identification.

g. Additional security measures are implemented as the situation dictates.

A-11. Orders and Plans.

a. Unless otherwise stated, "Zulu" time is used in all division operations orders.

b. The ADC-M, ADC-S, CofS, and G3 have authority to issue warning orders in the CG's name.

c. The main CP G3 operations element provides sequential numbers for all division written orders. The S3 operations of all subordinate and supporting units issue orders numbers for their commands.

d. The ADC-M, ADC-S, CofS, and G3 have the authority to approve and issue written FRAGOs in the CG's name. The TAC and rear CP should obtain an order number prior to issuing a written FRAGO from the main CP.

e. The following procedures apply for publication of orders.

(1) The G3 has overall responsibility for orders and plans.

(2) Staff sections review and sign annexes, if they are submitted for separate distribution. If they are distributed with the order, annexes are not signed.

(3) The division sends verbal FRAGOs by the most expeditious means available (followed by hard copy and overlay through couriers).

(4) The division uses the following guide for annexes:

Annex A -- Task Organization.

Annex B -- Intelligence.

Annex C -- Operations Overlay/Concept of Operations.

Annex D -- Engineer.

Annex E -- Army Aviation.

Annex F -- Fire Support.

Annex G -- Air Defense.

Annex H -- A²C².

Annex I -- Electronic Warfare.

Annex J -- Signal Operations.

Annex K -- Operations Security (OPSEC).

Annex L -- Deception.

Annex M -- Psychological Operations.

Annex N -- NBC Defense/Smoke Operations.

Annex O -- Military Police.

Annex P -- Rear Operations.

Annex Q -- Service Support.

Annex R -- Movement.

Annex S -- Civil Affairs.

f. Acknowledge receipt of operations orders to the issuing CP. Subordinate units submit one copy of all orders and overlays to division tactical operation center (TOC) G3 operations. MSCs and staff elements reproduce additional copies for internal use and distribution.

g. When the division is not committed to combat operations, the elements listed below receive copies of the OPLANs for the upcoming operations. This list is used only when there is sufficient time to reproduce and distribute a complete order. When the division is committed to combat operations, this listing will not be used.

Copy Number	Addressee	Copy Number	Addressee
1	CG	14	MI Bn
2	ADC-M	15	Signal Bn
3	ADC-S	16	MP Co
4	CofS	17	HQ Comdt
5	Bde	18	G1
6	Bde	19	G2
7	Bde	20	G3
8	DIVARTY	21	G4
9	Avn Bde	22	G5
10	DISCOM	23	PM
11	Recon Squadron	24	Corps HQ
12	ADA Bn	25-26	Attached Units
13	Engr Bn	31-35	Spares/Adjacent Units

h. The division uses FRAGOs and warning orders when it is committed to combat operations. Written copies go only to those commanders and staff officers with a requirement to know. (NOTE: To prevent fratricide, changes to scheme of maneuver and fires must be transmitted to all division units.

i. The proliferation and copying of orders is kept to the absolute required minimum at all times.

j. All orders and plans are identified by the type (such as OPORD or FRAGO) and numbered sequentially from the beginning of the calendar year (OPORD 15-93 is the fifteenth OPORD issued in 1993).

(1) The CofS maintains a historical file of all orders (one copy) issued by the division HQ and those received from higher and adjacent HQ. All other copies remaining in the HQ are destroyed within five days after the complete execution of the base order.

(2) After issuance of the division order, any Army or corps level orders in the HQ are placed under the control of the CofS.

k. Phase lines from higher HQ are not renamed.

l. On division operations maps and orders, the division objectives (for the brigades) are used. The related corps objective (to the division) is shown in parentheses before or above the division-specified objective. When necessary for clarity in verbal conversation, both names are used. Divisional brigades incorporate this procedure into their TSOPs. To ensure clarity, operational graphics are labeled as follows:

(1) Objectives and engagement areas (people).

(2) Division--explorers or Early American heroes:

1st brigade--cartoon characters.

2d brigade--presidents.

3d brigade--Civil War generals.

Aviation brigade--World War II generals.

(3) Areas of operation and assembly areas (places):

Division--cities.

1st brigade--battles.

2d brigade--colleges.

3d brigade--states.

Aviation brigade--parks.

(4) Routes/axis of advance (animals):

Division--big game.

1st brigade--fish.

2d brigade--farm animals.

3d brigade--insects.

Aviation brigade--birds.

(5) Phase lines and LZs and PZs (things):

Division--trees.

1st brigade-cars.

2d brigade--jewels

3d brigade--weapons.

Aviation brigade--metals.

(6) Routes (colors):

Division--red, white, and blue.

1st brigade--black.

2d brigade--purple.

3d brigade--brown.

Aviation brigade--green.

m. The division's orders group assembles to receive or disseminate oral or written orders. Orders group members assemble by organic transportation at a location and time designated by the commander. The commander may call one of three different orders group compositions, depending on the situation.

Orders Group A	Orders Group B	Orders Group C
CG with cmd group	CG	CG
Bde CDRs	ADC-M	ADC-M
	ADC-S	ADC-S
	G3	CofS
	Bde CDRs	All MSC CDRs
	Avn Bde CDR	All primary staff
	Div Arty CDR
	Recon Sqdn CDR

The orders group designees normally do not bring subordinate commanders and staff to orders group locations. Temporary local security is provided by vehicle drivers.

Section III. STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES

A-12. Task Organization. The following routine task organization of organic division elements represents the division's standard combined arms fighting organization for combat. This grouping applies until specifically changed by verbal or written OPORDs, FRAGOs, or warning orders. This task organization is the basis for all division movement, and tactical employment planning.

A-13. Division Control Methods and Procedures.

a. Liaison Officer and NCO Procedures.

(1) Under the supervision of the chief of staff, the division employs three organic LO teams to provide nonreciprocal liaison functions from the division to the following units:

Right adjacent unit.

Main effort brigade.

Higher headquarters.

(2) Allied and US Marine forces that are supporting or adjacent to the division exchange reciprocal LO teams. The division first provides the supporting effort brigade team, then the main effort brigade team.

(3) Administrative support is provided for LO teams or individuals by the receiving headquarters, to include:

Accommodation and rations.

Maintenance, fuel, and lubricants.

(4) Before departing the parent headquarters, the LO team--

Obtains maps, call signs, overlays, and orders for upcoming operations.

Understands the commander's intent.

Gets current operations status from the operations center.

Checks all staff sections for information to forward to higher or adjacent headquarters.

Notes any task organization changes.

(6) When returning to the parent unit, LOs brief the parent unit's chief of staff or XO on the following information pertaining to the supporting headquarter's status, including as a minimum--

Upcoming operations and mission requirements for the supported unit (CONPLANs, OPLANs, and FRAGOs).

The commander's intent for current and future operations.

The current and projected priorities for CS and CSS.

Changes in task organization and organization for combat.

Updated unit locations.

Any other specific information required by the parent unit commander.

b. Standard Operational Brevity Code Words. During all radio and wire communications, all units under division control use the following operational code words to shorten transmission time. (NOTE: Although secure equipment is available, the division must be able to operate under nonsecure conditions caused by equipment failure, compromise, and so forth.)

"Switch ALPHA JULIET" (Antijamming)
"Switch N5F32" (The unit frequency whose commander is N5F32)

c. Terrain Index Reference System.

(1) The division uses TIRS to provide a quick and accurate method to control the maneuver of units, pass out control measures, and prepare a change in mission FRAGO. It is used with checkpoints, phase lines, and other graphic control measures.

(2) The user pinpoints the location by shifting on a horizontal-vertical scale from the TIRS point to the locations.

(3) On secure radios, use TIRS in the clear. Example: "From Y17, Right 1.5, up .5." (The listener finds point Y17, then measures 1.5 kilometers to the right or east and .5 kilometers up or north to find the desired location.)

(4) On nonsecure radios, encode the numerical portion of the TIRS.

(5) TIRS is established from higher to lower. TIRS are designated by the G3 for both the current and future area of operations. Subordinate HQs may establish supplemental TIRS. TIRS is always alphanumeric. The first character is the only letter and is allocated as follows:

Div TAC/Main CPs	A	Avn Bde	O, P
Div Rear CP	B	Div Recon Sqdn	R
1st Bde	C, D, E, F	DIVARTY	S
2d Bde	G, H, I, J	Atchd/OPCON Units	T, U, V, W
3d Bde	K, L, M, N	Div Spares	X, Y, Z

(a) Do not use TIRS to request fires. Use only target numbers or grids.

(b) Subordinate division units use only TIRS that were established by division.

(6) If a TIRS map or overlay is lost, captured, or compromised, the responsible HQ reports the code words "Dump TIRS (echelon code)" to higher HQ. Full notification and reestablishment of a new TIRS is a command action. The echelon code indicates the highest level of TIRS that was compromised: DISTANT = division, BELOW = brigade, BASE = battalion, and CELLAR = company.

d. Division Recognition Techniques.

(1) Combat Vehicle Marking System. The division's combat, CS, and CSS vehicles are marked for rapid identification from the rear and sides. This facilitates control during battle by enabling quick and easy visual identification of units on the battlefield. Associating unit identification with vehicle markings assists in the reconstitution of forces and prevention of fratricide. This section prescribes standard symbols used to mark vehicles within the division. Marking of vehicles is accomplished within the following restrictions:

Only standard chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) paint are used for marking (black and sand).

Markings apply to all specified vehicles within the organization.

Markings consist of numbers and chevrons of the style and size described in this section and locations are standardized. Medical vehicles are marked IAW AR 750-1.

(2) MSC Vehicle Markings. Vehicles of the division MSCs are identified by a combination of a single half-chevron and a two-digit numeric identifier. MSC identifiers always begin with a zero and have a single half-chevron placed immediately adjacent and to the right of the numeric identifier. Division assigned MSC numeric identifiers are:

00\	Div HHC
01\	1st Bde
02\	2d Bde
03\	3d Bde
04\	Avn Bde
05\	DIVARTY
06\	DISCOM

(3) Unit Identifiers. The following digits/symbols are assigned to units within the division:

(4) Marking Size. The size of the vehicle markings is shown below. The space between the numbers and half-chevrons is 2 inches. Side and rear markings are placed on doors or other flat surfaces and remain unobstructed by equipment, camouflage nets, or other miscellaneous items. Marking location and size may be adjusted to accommodate the type of vehicle.

(5) Separate Battalions/Squadrons and Companies. Vehicles assigned to divisional units are identified by a half-chevron and a two-digit numeric identifier combination. The first digit of the two-digit identifier designates the battalion/squadron and the second digit identifies subordinate company/troop/battery-sized units. The accompanying half-chevron identifies the vehicle as belonging to a divisional separate battalion/squadron or company. These half-chevron identifiers are placed immediately adjacent and to the left of the numeric identifiers. Divisional unit identification markings are as follows:

/1	Engineer Battalion
/2	Recon Squadron
/3	ADA Battalion
/4	MI Battalion
/5	Signal Battalion
/6	Division Main and Forward Support Battalions (NOTE: /60=MSB; /61=1st FSB; /62=2d FSB; /63=3d FSB)
/7	MP Company

(6) Company/Troop/Battery Markings. Company, troop, and battery level units are assigned the following numbers:

0	HHC/HHT/HHB
1	A Co/Troop/Battery
2	B Co/Troop/Battery
3	C Co/Troop/Battery
4	D Co/Troop/Battery

(7) Platoon Markings. Platoons (or sections) are identified by the application of a single or double directional chevron. They are applied along with the battalion and company equivalent identifiers. Platoon identifiers are as follows:

(8) Vehicle Top Markings. Each combat vehicle in proximity to CAS missions or when directed displays one VS17 panel on top of the vehicle. Panels are removed after the CAS missions if air superiority is not maintained. Chemical lights are placed on top of all vehicles for night recognition by friendly aircraft. Three lights are placed horizontally on any flat open surface, protected from observation by enemy forces.

e. Signals. The following standard signals are established and used throughout the division to direct the indicated actions.

(1) Hand and Arm Signals, Tactical Formations.

(2) Hand and Arm Signals, Tactical Actions.

(3) Hand and Arm Signals, Patrolling Actions.

(4) Hand and Arm Signals, NBC Attack.

f. Alarms and Warning Procedures.

(1) The probability or likelihood of enemy attack or contact is signaled by warning color codes. These color codes apply to all combat action operations:

White: Attack or contact is not likely.
Yellow: Attack or contact is likely.
Red: Attack or contact is in progress or is imminent.

(2) Chemical attack is signaled by a continuous series of three short vehicle horn sounds, metal-on-metal, and electronic chemical alarms and the words "gas, gas, gas."

(3) Air attack is signaled by words "dynamite, dynamite, dynamite" with general direction. Continuous sounding of vehicle horn augments voice warnings.

(4) Indirect fires are signaled by words "incoming, incoming, incoming."

g. Threat Condition. Threat conditions in the division area of operations are developed by the G2 based on enemy capabilities, actions, sightings, and assessments of terrorist factors. THREATCONs dictate appropriate adjustments to security plans and manning level of CP or base defenses. Subordinate commanders may designate higher THREATCONs based on the local situation.

(1) The THREATCON is a two-digit warning which is passed laterally and vertically within the division's rear area to ensure receipt. The first digit is numeric (1-5) and is based on the overall threat while the second digit is alphabetic (A-D) and is based on terrorist assessments.

(2) The THREATCON is based on the enemy's capabilities as shown by the intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB), the past and present actions of enemy forces in the rear area, and any sightings of threat forces in the rear area. A level of 1 indicates the lowest assessment of threat while 5 indicates the highest threat assessment:

1 Enemy capability
2 Enemy sightings in area
3 Enemy activity in area
4 Attack probable
5 Attack imminent

(3) In determining the threat condition, the assessment factors of existence, capability, history, trends, and targeting are considered.

(a) Alpha indicates a low assessment with existence and capability as factors.

(b) Bravo indicates a medium assessment, adding history or trends as a factor. Bravo is used when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists.

(c) Charlie indicates a high assessment with existence, capability, trends, and targeting as factors. Targeting is not specific while history may be a factor. Charlie is used when an incident occurs or when intelligence indicates an imminent terrorist action.

(d) Delta indicates an imminent assessment with specific targeting a factor. Delta is normally used to localize warning to the specific target area.

Example: THREATCON 2C would indicate a generally low level of overall threat coupled with a high terrorist threat.

h. Readiness Condition. All division elements use the following readiness criteria in terms of time to state current readiness status, or to direct the attainment of a specific readiness status in anticipation of combat operations.

REDCON One:	I am fully ready to execute the assigned mission now and will initiate execution on receipt of orders.
REDCON Two:	I can be ready to execute an assigned mission in 15 minutes.
REDCON Three:	I can be ready to execute an assigned mission in 30 minutes.
REDCON Four:	I can be ready to execute an assigned mission in one hour.
REDCON Five:	I can be ready to execute an assigned mission in ______ hours. (Specify number if more than one hour).

i. Example fixed Call Signs. Upon enemy contact, the division communicates with the following fixed call signs using secure communications. The division uses nickname, historical phone directory, or call sign listing. Names listed here are examples only.

Note: If you are a tank company commander (C Company), cross-attached to a light infantry battalion, your call sign will be CT6. This avoids the confusion of having two C Companies in the net.

A-14. Tactical Road Movement.

a. Responsibility. All tactical road movement planning is the responsibility of the G3 operations, located at the division's main CP. The tactical CP controls tactical movements.

b. Planning Factors for Mounted Movement. (Planned for standard task organization.)

(1) Rate of March:

All weather, hard surface roads, four-lane limited access--30 mph or 48 kph.

All other roads--20 mph or 32 kph.

Congested urban areas--12 mph or 20 kph.

Blackout--10 mph or 16 kph.

(2) Intervals:

Between vehicles: Daylight meters. During hours of darkness and within city or village limits--25 meters.

Between march units: two minutes.

Between serials: five minutes.

(3) Convoy Composition:

Ten to twenty-four vehicles per march unit (maintain tactical integrity).

Two to five march units per serial (maintain tactical integrity).

Maximum five serials per convoy (maintain tactical integrity).

(4) Halts. Periodic rest and maintenance halts planned and conducted for 20 minutes after the first 2 hours; 10 minutes every 2 hours thereafter.

(5) Illumination. Vehicles in a convoy have their lights on low beam. Blackout driving is in effect forward of the light line.

(6) Convoys moving in the same direction pass one another only with permission from the tactical CP.

(7) Reports. MPs call in all convoy reports (lead vehicle crossing point) at start point (SP), TCPs, and release and other critical points within five minutes of unit crossing.

(8) Convoy Control:

Prior to the division SP, two-person elements from the PM, DTO, DISCOM MCO, engineer battalion, and ADA battalion deploy forward to the TAC CP to help coordinate and adjust the movement plan as it is being executed. Once the movement is complete, these personnel return to their normal command post.

MSCs are provided a block time for movement.

Subordinate commanders appoint serial and march unit commanders.

Disabled vehicles are left to the side of the route of march for pickup by trailing maintenance and recovery elements.

(9) Security. At least one alert air guard or observer is posted per vehicle during movement and weapons are oriented for 360-degree engagements.

c. Planning Factors for Tactical Foot Marches.

(1) Rate of March:

Daytime on road--4 kph.

Daytime cross country--2.4 kph.

Limited visibility on road--3.2 kph.

Limited visibility cross country--1.6 kph.

(2) Individual Soldier Load. The maximum load during approach marches is 72 lbs and the maximum individual fighting load is 48 lbs. Each company-sized unit has at a minimum one HMMWV with trailer for carrying supplies and equipment.

(3) March Formation. The division standard march formation is a staggered column of two's with one tile on each side of the road unless otherwise specified.

(4) Halts. A 15-minute halt is made after the first 45 minutes of marching. Afterwards, a 10-minute halt is made every 50 minutes.

(5) Length of March. Normally, the distance covered in a 24-hour period is from 20 to 30 kms marching from five to eight hours at a rate of 4 kph.

d. Standard Orders of March for Tactical Movement.

(1) The division conducts tactical movements on one, two, or three routes. The standard order of march for each route is as follows.

(a) One route of march:

Maneuver Brigade	MI Battalion
Main CP	Aviation Brigade
2d Brigade	ADA Battalion (-)
DIVARTY (-)	Signal Battalion
3d Brigade	MP Element
Engineer Battalion	DISCOM
Rear CP (LSA)

(b) Two routes of march:

Route A	Route B
Maneuver Brigade	Maneuver Brigade
DIVARTY	Main CP
Engineer Battalion	Maneuver Brigade
Rear CP (LSA)	MI Battalion

Signal Battalion	MP Element
	DISCOM

Route A	Route B	Route C
Maneuver Brigade	Maneuver Brigade	Maneuver Brigade
DIVARTY	Main CP	Engineer Battalion
MI Battalion	Aviation Brigade	ADA Battalion (-)
MP Element	Rear CP (LSA)	Signal Battalion
	DISCOM	DISCOM

(d) Standard orders of march are subject to redesign based on the nature of future operations and METT-T.

(2) Nondivisional units task-organized to support an organic division unit (DS, attached, OPCON, assigned) move with the supported unit. All others are inserted into the march order as the situation dictates.

e. Route Priorities.

(1) Movement of tactical units and unit displacement have priority over other moves. Other priorities are established as follows:

Priority
1	MEDEVAC
2	Combat unit
3	Combat support
4	Combat service support
5	CSS resupply moves in order of transportation priority
6	Combat moves to rear assembly areas
7	Combat support units moving rearward
8	CSS moves to rear
9	Infiltration moves (moves without clearance)

(2) The brigade's S4 denotes routes in the brigade's sector (except MSRs) and reports their status through the FSB to the DISCOM MCO.

(3) The DTO, in coordination with the PMO, develops the highway regulation plan and the traffic circulation plan.

f. Refugee and Host Nation Traffic Movements.

(1) Refugee and host nation traffic is routed on secondary roads (other than MSRs) when possible.

(2) Movements of HN traffic (10 or more vehicles or 100 or more personnel) must be coordinated with the DTO prior to movement.

(3) In concert with host nation's law enforcement personnel, division MPs assist, direct, and or deny movement of host nation traffic and refugees.

A-15. Assembly Area Occupation and Composition. (Also applies to occupation of attack positions.)

a. The division establishes two separate and distinct assembly areas within the corps' assigned division assembly area, a forward assembly area (FAA), and the division rear assembly area (RAA). They are normally 10 to 15 kilometers apart.

b. During the occupation of all assembly areas, 12 o'clock is always forward, and forward is the side nearest the enemy.

A-16. Preparation for Combat.

a. Personal Combat Equipment Checks.

(1) General Guide for Combat Uniforms. They must--

Not break noise discipline.

Not break light and camouflage discipline.

Remain functional.

(2) General Rules:

Tape or tie down everything that jingles or makes a sound during movement.

Tape or blacken everything that is shiny.

Button pockets to prevent items from getting lost, water or dirt from getting into pockets, and branches from snagging and ripping pockets.

Ensure all personnel wear combat uniforms during tactical training missions, alerts, and combat missions.

Use this SOP as a checklist.

(3) Boots:

Have boots polished (not high gloss).

Tuck excess laces into boots so that the laces do not catch roots or branches and the soldier does not trip over them.

Blouse trousers into boots.

(4) Right Cargo Pocket. Carry all sensitive information--maps, notes, operation orders, communications-electronics operation instructions (SOIs)--in the right cargo pocket. If the soldier becomes a casualty, this sensitive information can be quickly removed.

(5) Ammo Pouches. Wear on the sides of the body to get lower in the prone position.

(6) Ammo Pouches (Magazines):

Place loaded magazines upside down in the ammo pouches to prevent water and dirt from fouling the magazines.

Place empty magazines right side up in ammo pouches. With empty magazines upright and loaded magazines upside down, you should be able to tell the difference between magazines without looking or, in the dark, by feeling them with one hand.

(7) Ammo Pouches (Grenades):

Always carry grenades in an appropriate container (for example, ammo pouches, grenade bag). Never carry them exposed and avoid placing grenades on the shoulder straps of load-carving equipment (LCE).

Do not carry smoke grenades on load-bearing equipment if you carry a rucksack. Keep them in your rucksack. Smoke grenades are not fighting grenades; under most circumstances there is time to draw them from the rucksack.

(8) Ammunition. Use a tracer-ball mix depending on the mission. (Leaders can use tracers to direct fire and aerial support.) If possible, when using a mix of tracer and ball, the last three rounds in each magazine should be tracer to remind the firer that he is nearly out of ammo.

(9) Rifle:

Test-fire all weapons before the mission. After test-firing, do not tear weapons down again for cleaning or they will have to be test-fired again.

Tape weapon swivels to prevent noise.

Carry weapon-cleaning equipment on your person or in the butt of the rifle.

Extract rounds in the chambers of weapons each morning and wipe them down because condensation (dew) may cause malfunctions.

Check weapon and bore for any obstruction.

Keep the reduced-visibility sight up during periods of darkness.

(10) Bayonet. Wear it on the prominent hand side of your body.

(11) Canteen:

Before a mission, fill canteens completely to prevent water-sloshing sounds. Check for water purification tablets.

Cover all broken NBC canteen caps with tape and have a pull tab on the tape to quickly remove it, even with gloved hands.

Turn the loop made by the plastic piece connecting the cap to the canteen into the body to prevent branches from catching it.

(12) LBE Harness:

Do not place anything bulky on the prominent side LCE shoulder strap that interferes with quickly getting the butt of your weapon comfortably into the pocket of your shoulder. This means that right-handed and left-handed soldiers have different LCE configurations.

To cut down the number of entangling lanyards, secure more than one piece of equipment by the same lanyard. For example, the cord for pace-counting beads may also secure a whistle or compass or both.

(13) Compass:

Secure by a lanyard anywhere comfortable and within easy reach.

Ensure everyone issued a compass carries it.

(14) First Aid Pouch. Use the excess plastic at the opening of the first aid bandage to pull the bandage out of the pouch.

(15) Flashlight:

Use colored filters on all flashlights forward of the division TAC CP.

Connect the flashlight to the harness with a lanyard to prevent its loss.

(16) M258A1/M291 Decontamination Kit. Store in rear outside pocket of protective mask carrier.

(17) Protective Mask Carrier:

Tape or blacken shiny parts.

Tape down or remove mask ID tag to prevent noise.

(18) Sleeves. Wear sleeves down to protect and camouflage the arms.

(19) Dog Tags. Tape together to prevent noise. Use the standard Army issue breakaway chain.

(20) Face. Camouflage according to the colors and patterns of the area of operations and proper procedures for camouflaging.

(21) Helmet. Do not put anything on the chin strap that will interfere with the strap unsnapping.

(22) Protective Clothing Identification. For ease of identification, place a green strip of tape with abbreviated rank and last name printed in black over the right breast pocket flap and in the center of the back.

(23) Night Vision Devices (NVDs). Ensure NVDs are operational and have spare batteries.

(4) The center point of this grid matrix is published in the division OPLAN or OPORD.

Example: (See SHORAD grid matrix.)

--You are located in Kentucky.

--The ABMOC transmits: "Track ###, hostile, Lewis-5-5, northwest, few,
helicopter."

--You know that two to four enemy helicopters are headed towards you and
are about 20 kilometers away.

Track format gives:

--ID (hostile, unknown, or friendly).

--Location (in 10-kilometer grid plus 1-kilometer grid increments, read right
and up).

--Heading.

--Raid size--one, few (two to four) or many.

--Aircraft type (jet, prop, or helicopter).

(3) Mask only. Mask only is a "by exception" level. This condition applies to soldiers in vans, tanks, and similar shelters who are protected from transfer hazard (but not from vapor hazards). Soldiers do not wear protective overgarments or rubber gloves as long as they are protected from direct skin exposure to liquid or solid contamination. (NOTE: Do not use the "mask only" posture when blisters or persistent nerve agents are present.)

b. Required NBC Teams. Each unit down to battalion level will establish the following NBC teams to support tactical operations:

NBC control party.

Radiological monitoring and survey teams.

Chemical survey team.

Chemical monitoring team.

Decontamination team.

c. NBC Alarms and Warnings.

(1) Standard alarms within the division for NBC attack are--

Vocal: "GAS, GAS, GAS" for suspected chemical or biological attack; "FALLOUT" for arrival of radioactive fallout.

Sound: metal on metal.

Visual: (see Hand and Arm Signals).

(2) Chemical Threat Warning. The chemical threat warning system reflects the latest intelligence estimate regarding the enemy's NBC activity. The G2, division chemical officer and G3 recommend the chemical threat serial based on intelligence estimates and reports. The NBC element is responsible for disseminating the serial.

(3) Chemical Threat Serial.

d. NBC Reporting Procedures. Notify the division's main CP immediately of the enemy's first use of NBC weapons. Use prescribed NBC-1 message format and transmit to the NBC element. Two positive M256 detector tests constitute positive identification of chemical agents.

e. Marking Contaminated Areas.

(1) The unit detecting the contamination will mark NBC contaminated areas, using the standard marking signs prescribed in FM 3-3 (see NBC marking signs) and report the location to the NBC element. Request assistance in NBC reconnaissance through the NBC element.

(2) Commanders may elect not to mark contaminated areas to obtain a tactical advantage, but they must advise any unit assuming responsibility for the area of contamination.

(3) Changes in the status of contaminated areas will be reported to the NBC element.

A-23. Engineer Procedures.

a. The assistant division engineer (ADE) directs the missions of general support (GS) engineers.

b. Priority of transport of class IV and V material to the obstacle site is as follows:

Organic engineer units.

Supported unit.

Other units as directed.

c. Countermobility Procedures.

(1) Obstacle Identification Minefield marking--wire fencing with STANAG 2889 minefield signs. At a minimum, units should make a temporary marking and send a minefield report (see MINEFIELD REPORTs) with a description of any temporary marking method. The follow-on engineer unit will replace any temporary markings with standard markings according to STANAG 2889.

(2) Scatterable mine procedures.

(a) Long-duration scatterable minefield are emplaced only on approval of the division commander, the ADC-M, CofS, or G3.

(b) MSC commanders may employ short-duration (anything under six hours) scatterable minefield inside division-approved obstacle zones.

d. Supported Unit Responsibilities.

(1) Units guard all targets within their sector of responsibility.

(2) Units cover with fire all obstacles within their sector of responsibility.

e. Route Maintenance and Repair (Mobility). The division rear CP coordinates requirements for route maintenance, rear area damage control, and prioritization of engineer effort with the ADE at the main CP.

f. Division Standard Obstacle Packages.

(1) Triple Standard Concertina (300 meter).

(2) Abatis (20-in diameter trees) Bridge Demolition (2-lane class 60).

(5) Row Minefield M-15 (200 x 0.5) Three Strip Surface Laid.

(6) Survivability Positions (30 Positions).

(7) Demolition Pack.

g. Engineer Obstacle Numbering System.

(1) The division ADE establishes obstacle zones and obstacle restricted areas to support division tactical operations. Obstacle and obstacle restricted zones are designated with a letter (Zone A) and obstacle belts are identified by numbers (Belt 3).

(2) Subordinate units are not authorized to emplace obstacles in other than designated obstacle zones.

(3) Subordinate engineers supporting the division maintain obstacle numbers. The eleven character obstacle number is shown on overlays within the unit. The engineer unit emplacing or supporting the obstacle maintains engineer obstacle numbers and folders following the procedures prescribed in FM 5-102.

A-24. Field Artillery Procedures.

a. Artillery-delivered scatterable mines.

(1) The standard division artillery delivered scatterable minefield is 400 by 400 meters, medium density, short duration.

(2) Emplacement of long-duration FASCAM requires the commanding general (CG), ADC-M, CofS, or G3 approval. Short-duration FASCAM can be approved by brigade commanders.

b. Chemical Employment. Firing elements must obtain verification to fire from properly authenticated digital or voice fire missions through field artillery channels. Proper authentication is confirmation that the CG has granted permission to fire. Under no circumstance will a chemical mission be fired without proper authentication.

c. Quick-Fire Channels. DIVARIY establishes quick-fire channels on FA communications nets to expedite fires.

d. Calls for Fire by Non-FIST Observers. Units without a FIST element will attempt to pass the mission to a higher fire support element. If no fire support element is available, the unit should contact a field artillery FDC directly. All requests for fire must be authenticated.

e. Mass Fire Missions.

(1) Normal mission processing using the TACFIRE allows for the massing of artillery fires by processing a request for additional fires (RFAF) through the DIVARTY computer. A method of fire control (TOT, AMC) must be identified to ensure all elements are ready to fire at the appropriate time. (Normally the FDC will designate the method of fire control.)

(2) An IRON HAMMER is a preplanned mass mission. It delivers about one module of ammunition against a specific engagement area. IRON HAMMER requests are sent to the division FSE and managed like preplanned CAS. The division's TAC FSE may divert a planned IRON HAMMER to the most critical engagement that the division commander sees.

(3) The 105-millimeter FA battalion standard ammunition module consists of a battalion-six ICM and will--

Neutralize a motorized rifle battalion (about 10 percent fractional damage).

Suppress a tank battalion (about 3 percent fractional damage).

Neutralize a field artillery battalion (about 15 percent fractional damage).

(4) Immediate mass missions may be approved by only the CG, ADC-M, or G3. Immediate mass missions interrupt normal mission processing by a voice request over the DIVARTY command net. Artillery immediate mass missions fall into three categories:

(a) FIRESTRIKE. This is the least disruptive to normal mission processing. It--

Delivers about one module of ammunition.

Is fired by GS 155-millimeter battery.

Usually requires 10 to 15 minutes notice and is over within five minutes. It is normally executed as a time on target (TOT).

Target engagement criteria will be the decision of the DIVARTY TOC.

(b) THUNDER. This is moderately disruptive to normal mission processing. It--

Delivers about three modules of ammunition.

Is normally fired by GS, general support reinforcing, or reinforcing artillery units.

Usually requires 15 to 20 minutes notice and is over within 10 minutes. It is normally not executed as a TOT but as a window of time within which available units may deliver the fires.

Target engagement criteria will be four volleys of DPICM from every 155-millimeter or 203-millimeter howitzer within range plus 36 MLRS rockets.

(c) HOT STEEL. This requires the suspension of normal mission processing. HOT STEEL requires the CGS or ADC-M's approval to execute. It--

Delivers about ten modules of ammunition.

Is normally fired by all division artillery cannon units within range of the target. This is true even if the engagement requires units on the move to hipshoot or units in position to shift orientation. The only artillery not required to respond are DS units shooting final protective fire (FPF).

Usually requires 30 minutes notice, and ends when the CG or TAC CP gives "end of mission." Due to counterfire vulnerability, battalion S3s may move up to one-third of their fire units after delivering the first set of required volleys. It is normally not executed as a TOT, but as a window of time within which available units may deliver the fires.

Target engagement criteria will be 12 volleys of ICM from every 105-millimeter howitzer within range and eight volleys of DPICM from every 155-millimeter howitzer within range.

f. Target Numbering System. All the division's indirect fire targets will be designated by a one-letter and four-digit number. The letters I and O are not used because they can be confused with numbers.

(1) The letter assignments are--

d. The G4 is the POC for interservice logistics requests and agreements. The G4 coordinates with the supporting corps finance group to obtain funding support for local contracting and procurement efforts.

e. Reconstitution Procedures.

(1) Reorganization. During tactical operations the division conducts reorganization of available assets to maintain effectiveness of designated units.

(a) Reorganization is the action to shift resources within a degraded unit to increase combat power when the division is committed to tactical operations. The massing of vehicles, personnel, class V, and class III of several different units into one unit is required during this process. The maintaining of small-unit integrity is a primary consideration.

(b) The authority to reorganize and consolidate units rests with the commander two levels above the unit to be reorganized.

(d) Any reorganization conducted at any level within the division must be immediately reported through both operations and logistics channels upon completion.

(e) Minimum Manning Levels. Prior to initiating the process of reorganizing, units should attempt to tight weapons systems at minimum manning levels. Permission to go to minimum manning levels will be retained by battalion commanders. The following are minimum manning levels authorized within the division on specified equipment.

(2) Regeneration. The division conducts regeneration operations when in a disengaged status and located in a secure rear assembly area.

(3) Weapons Systems Replacement. Weapons system replacement operations are conducted to provide fully operational, ready-to-fight replacement weapons systems, both vehicle and crew. The division does not link up personnel and equipment when it is in a committed status. The normal size of replacement units coming to the division will be at the platoon level. Larger-sized units will be received on an exception basis after coordination with corps. Responsibilities are as follows.

(a) The division G3 is responsible for determining priority for weapons system replacement. The G4 initiates the request to the corps. Final assignment decisions for replacement weapons systems are made by the G3.

(b) The division MMC is responsible for coordinating the movement, reception, and processing of all incoming replacement units from corps, and delivery to the receiving unit.

(c) Replacement weapons systems or units are moved into an assembly area in the vicinity of the division rear command post. The G4 coordinates with the rear command post G3 operations element for designated assembly area.

(d) Once located in the assembly area, the division G4 coordinates the following functions prior to releasing the unit:

Shelter and sleeping area for new crews.

Personnel actions to process crew into the division.

Resupply of class III and class V.

Maintenance checks for vehicles.

Vehicle and personnel precombat inspections as per the TSOP.

Individual weapons for new crew members.

Map or physical reconnaissance of the local area to vehicle commanders and key leaders.

While in the assembly area, tasking the unit with local security missions to begin team training and equipment familiarity.

(a) The Logistic Spot Report, and Red 1 and Red 2 reports, are the primary means of reporting personnel strengths.

(b) Company commanders account for soldiers. They report strength accountability and duty status changes to the battalion S1 who enters the information into the total Army personnel data base (TAPDB) through standard installation/division personnel system (SIDPERS) transactions. Personnel accounting data converts from written or verbal to an automated format at the G1 level.

(c) Strength reporting is a numerical end product of the accounting process. Strength reports are available from battalion to division level through the command and control strength reporting system on the tactical army combat service support computer system. The personnel summary report (PSR) and personnel requirements report (PRR) are the primary personnel reports. Manual reports to account for personnel and report personnel strengths may also be used.

(d) Units deploying with different elements as part of a task organization will provide the gaining headquarters a battle roster on a standard floppy disk.

(e) Losing units will not provide strength reports for units which are no longer part of their task organization.

(b) Every soldier carries DA Form(s) 1155 (Witness Statement) and DA Form(s) 1156 (Casualty Feeder Report). When DA Forms 1155/1156 are not available, use any other means to report as much information as possible. Witness Statement is completed when a casualty occurs and the body is not recovered. The 1156 (Casualty Feeder Report) is completed on every casualty.

(d) Do not delay reports because of missing or unknown data. Commanders and soldiers should continue to seek missing information and forward as recovered.

(e) Multiple reports by different individuals may be submitted on the same soldier and/or incident.

(f) Completing more than one 1155/1156 is encouraged. Route each to the PSB through a different mode and/or carry one copy until it can be safely delivered to the PSB. This eliminates the loss of critical casualty information as the result of a lost or destroyed DA Form 1155/1156.

(g) The DA Form 1155 (Witness Statement) is completed when the body is not recovered.

(h) The DA Form 1156 (Casualty Feeder Report) is completed by the soldier(s) most knowledgeable (on the scene) of the incident causing the casualty. It is completed on every casualty.
