● Restrictive
o Restrictive Fire Line -- 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. The common commander of the converging forces:
o Restrictive Fire Area -- area in which specific firing or coordination restrictions are imposed
and into which fires in excess that exceeds those restrictions will not be delivered without
coordination with the establishing headquarters
o No Fire Area - no fires allowed
● Base Unit Concept Unit leaders control the speed, direction, and orientation of their
entire unit by locating themselves in close proximity with the base unit, a designated sub-unit
that serves as a reference point for the other sub-unit's related movements. Unit leaders control
their entire unit by driving the base unit through the objective area. Its foundation is effective
lateral and implicit communication.
o Purpose
o The squad leader to control his unit when verbal commands cannot be heard.
o Ease of control when visibility restrictions do not allow team leaders to see the squad leader.
o Reason
o Extend the flexibility of small unit direction changes down to the fire team leader, enabling
him to maximize the use of micro-terrain allow the:
o Fire Teams to Maximize the use of movement and firepower in the team
o Squad leader to quickly change the direction and speed of the attack using hand and arm
signals to direct the base unit fire team and allowing the other two teams to follow the base unit.
● Types of Offensive Operations o Movement to Contact
o Attack
o Exploitation
o Pursuit
o Attacks
