|
|
|
3 primary purposes of obstacles
|

|
50%
|
|
|
what is the breach force's responsibility after breaching the obstacle

|
|
hasty protective mines
|
-used in temp position outside hand grenade range
-must be covered by fire -covers likely ave of approach -should make an attempt to pick up |
|
|
steps for placing protective mines
|
-recon site
-establish easily identifiable reference pt -measure and mark mag azimuth in degrees and distance - B1 -from B1 measure and place first mine location - A1 -face left and record azimuth in degrees and measure the distance to the point designated A1 -after last mine is employed, position A2 marker on the left of row -move to B1 and repeat steps 4 and 5 |
