BATTLE HANDOVER
During a passage of lines (forward or rearward) or relief in place, the handover of the close operation receives a great deal of detailed interest and effort. There are some additional considerations for deep and rear operations at corps and division level that generally are not as closely managed. This is a challenge to orchestrate between U.S. units, and very challenging between U.S. units and other national formations whose ideas on warfare may be substantially different from AirLand Battle doctrine. The timing of the battle handover in these areas should be different than that for close operations. Some things to consider:
Deep operations:
- The value of deep operations resides solely in their impact on current and future close operations.
- Use a targeting cell with the "decide, detect, deliver" methodology for deep targeting. Focus acquisition and attack resources on high payoff targets.
- Plan for insertions/extraction of LRSU's and associated SEAD.
- Nominate and manage BAI.
- Manage the intelligence collection effort.
- Coordinate cross FLOT attack helicopter operations.
Rear operations, in addition to sus.tainment arrangements:
- Use and coordinate IPB for Rear Operations.
- Delineate responsibility for terrain management.
- Coordinate overall movement management to include Battlefield Circulation Control.
- Supervise area damage control.
- Delineate responsibility for overall rear security management.
- Plan for tactical combat force responsibilities and employment.
- Evaluate the threat for rear and close operations.
