Restrictive Fire Line (RFL).

Back 38

An RFL is a line established between converging friendly forces (one or both may be moving) that prohibits fires, or effects of fires, across the line without coordination with the affected force. The purpose of the RFL is to regulate all fires occurring between converging forces.

Front 39

Restrictive fire area

Back 39

An RFA is an area in which specific firing orcoordination restrictions are imposed and into which fires in excessthat exceeds those restrictions will not be delivered withoutcoordination with the establishing headquarters. The purpose of theRFA is to regulate fires into an area according to the statedrestrictions. This means that fires or certain types of ordnance(e.g., limitations on improved conventional munitions (ICM) or familyof scatterable mines (FASCAM)) can be controlled in an area wherefriendly forces are or will be located.

Front 42

FIghter Leader

Back 42

Fighter leader concept is leadership by example and a “follow-me” approach. “Fighter/Leader. Fire team and squad leaders must fight and lead their units to the objective. During the Fog of War, it will be more effective for a fire team or squad leader to execute what he / she wants done rather than verbally communicate it. Their violence of action will set the tone of their unit’s attack and will maintain the momentum of their unit’s assault. Unit leaders must maintain situational awareness and be prepared to provide the fire or execute the movement that re-orients their unit on the enemy and accelerates the speed of the unit’s assault.”

Types of Offensive Operations

Back 44

Movement to Contact – Offensive operation that seeks to gain or regain contact and develop the situation in relation to an enemy whose general location is known, but exact location is unknown.

Attack – Offensive operation characterized by coordinated movement, supported by fire, conducted to defeat, destroy, neutralize, or capture the enemy. (MCDP 1-0) This is the type of offensive operation we are focused on for this class. Exploitation – Offensive operation that follows a successful attack and is designed to disorganize the enemy in depth. (MCRP 5-12A)

Pursuit – Offensive operation designed to catch or cut off a hostile force attempting to escape, with the aim of destroying it. (MCRP 5-12A)

Front 46

LAW Back Blast

Back 46

Back Blast. The back blast danger area extends at a 30-degree angle arc from the rear of the launcher. The Area 15 meters behind the launcher is the Danger Zone, where personnel or equipment could be injured or damaged from blast, heat and projected materials. Beyond that is the Caution Zone, which extends an additional 25 meters, where personnel or equipment could be injured or damaged from projected materials. Therefore, you must keep clear a total area of 40 meters behind the launcher when firing (see diagram below).
