A rally point is an easily identifiable point on the ground where units can reassemble and reorganize if they become dispersed. It should provide cover and concealment, be defensible for at least a short time, and be easily recognized and known to all patrol members.
|
|

Initial Rally Point
|
The initial rally point is within friendly lines where the patrol can rally if it becomes separated before departing the friendly area or before reaching the first en route rally point.
|
|
|
En Route Rally Point
|
En route rally points are between the initial rally point and the objective rally point; and from the objective rally point back to the point where the patrol reenters friendly lines.
|
|

Objective Rally Point

The objective rally point is located nearest the objective where the patrol makes final preparations prior to approaching the objective. This position must provide the patrol concealment from enemy observation and, if possible, cover from enemy fires. It is the release point from which patrol elements and teams move to the objective to accomplish the mission.
