DISCUSSION: Recent peace operations conducted by U.S. forces have shown that vehicular survival is a cause for concern. Leaders must ensure that all vehicles carry the equipment needed for recovery. Soldiers that ride in vehicles also need their personal equipment in case of a breakdown. Below is a suggested list of items that should be on each vehicle.
LESSON(S):
Vehicles should be equipped with the following:
- OVE, to include a small general tool kit
- Flashlight
- Compass, binoculars and maps
- Communications equipment
- Tow rope/cable (at least 25 feet long)
- Five gallons of water per vehicle
- Personal food, clothing, and equipment
- Siphoning hose (1/2 inch outside diameter by 6 feet) and funnel
- Slave cables (one for each group of vehicles)
- Jack support plate (one foot by one foot piece of metal)
- Consumables, to include oil, radiator hoses, fan belts, heavy duty tape, air and fuel filters.
- Spare tire for HMMWVS
- Pepper Spray and CS to control small unruly crowds
- Enough concertina to surround vehicle in case of a breakdown
- Layer sandbags in troop carrying compartments of vehicles to protect personnel from landmines.
- Rules for Travel: travel in pairs, file a movement plan and monitor times of arrival and departure
