TOPIC: Patrols.
DISCUSSION: Patrols can be either overt or covert. All the normal principles of combat patrolling apply. Whether patrols should follow the overt methods of peacekeepers must be determined by the commander based on the situation. Given the intent of forces supporting the withdrawal of peacekeepers, patrols should operate as openly as the situation allows. Force protection, as always, is a major consideration. Units will have to conduct patrols for reconnaissance, surveillance, perimeter security, and to protect airfields. Units will have to conduct security patrols around airfields to keep SAMS out of range of arriving aircraft.
LESSON(s):
- Use the normal combat patrolling techniques and procedures during operations.
- Apply aggressive patrolling tactics to deter hostile acts by the belligerent forces.
