APPENDIX A

TTP for Clearing and Verification

---

The TTP for the separation of forces and establishment of the ZOS was jointly developed by the FWF leaders at the brigade's first JMC.

Aside from designation of the actual ZOSs, one of the first control measures that was established was the ZOS blocks. The ZOS blocks allowed the TFE to track the progress of separation and establishment of the ZOS.

The first priority was to ensure freedom of movement. The TFE and FWF would accomplish this by "punching holes" through the ZOS which entailed clearance of major routes. Once this was complete, the TFE and FWF could focus their efforts on separation of forces and other requirements of the GFAP.

METHOD: TFE commanders continue to meet with FWF leaders and verify clearing of major roads in the ZOS. TFE units report route reconnaissance and route status daily. TFE verifies FWF perform the clearing. TFE does not provide full-time escort to forces performing the work to clear routes, but verifies the work. Simultaneous clearing from both sides of the ZOS. All major routes must be cleared within the first week of operations. Clear Routes were defined by the following: Areas cleared up to 50 meters on either side of the road (300 meters on the major MSR). Bunkers along sides of road are dismantled. All wire and mines cleared along the road and up to 50 meters on either side. All unexploded ordnance cleared along the road and up to 50 meters on either side.
