KILL CHAIN CH 5-8 Flashcards
(34 cards)
COMMON METHODS FOR DETERMINING TARGET LOCATION
CLOCK METHOD: 12 O’CLOCK IN DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
GRID METHOD: MAP GRID (LEAST PREFERRED
ORIENTATION: CARDINAL DIRECTIONS, TRACER AMMO, IR LASER POINTER
GRAPHIC CONTROL MEASURES
A SYMBOL USED ON MAPS AND DISPLAYS TO REGULATE FORCES AND WARFIGHTING FUNCTIONS.
PROVIDE A RAPID MEANS FOR LOCATING TARGETS
-AREAS
-QUADRANTS
-POINTS
-LINES
SECTOR SKETCHES AND IDENTIFIERS
ENAGEMENT AREA:
IDENTIFIED BY STATE NAMES
OBJECTIVE: SPORT TEAMS LOCATD IN SAME STATE AS EA
PHASE LINE: CITY NAMES OF STATES OF EA
TARGET REFERENCE POINT (TRP): NUMERICAL IN ORDER BY DIRECTION
AREAS
GENERAL ZONE WHERE TARGET IS LOCATED
CONSISTS OF ENGAGEMENTS AREAS, OBJECTIVES, AND SECTORS OF FIRE
ENGAGEMENT AREA DEFINITION
WHERE THE COMMANDER INTENDS TO CONTAIN AND DESTROY AN ENEMY FORCE WITH MASSED EFFECTS
OBJECTIVE DEFINITION
LOCATIONS USED TO ORIENT OPERATIONS, FACILITATE CHANGES OF DIRECTION AND PROVIDE UNITY OF EFFORT
SECTORS OF FIRE DEFINITION
AREA ASSIGNED TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY
MEANS OF DESIGNATING SECTORS OF FIRE:
-TRPS
-CLOCK DIRECTIONS
-TERRAIN BASED QUADRANTS
-FRIENDLY FORCE BASED QUADRANTS
QUADRANTS
FOUR SEPARATE SECTORS OF AN AREA, BY SUPERIMPOSING A PAIR OF PERPENDICULAR AXES OVER TERRAIN
2 TYPES OF QUADRANTS
TERRAIN BASED: AREA DIVIDED BASED ON TERRAIN
FRIENDLY FORCE BASED: ORIGIN IS CENTER OF FORMATION, AXES RUN PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR TO DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
TARGET REFERENCE POINTS (TRPS)
RECOGNIZABLE POINT ON GROUND USED TO ORIENT FORCES AND DIRECT FIRES
DOESNT MOVE.
SHOULD BE VISIBLE IN NAKED EYE, IMAGE INTENSIFYING AND THERMALS
LINES
IDENTIFY SPECIFIC LATERAL LOCATIONS OF TACTICAL IMPORTANCE
4 TYPES OF LINES
MAXIMUM ENGAGEMENT LINE: MAX EFFECTIVE RANGE OF WEAPON SYSTEMS
RESTRICTIVE FIRE LINE: PROHIBITS ENGAGEMENT BEYOND LINE
PHASE LINES: SEPARATION OF AN AREA BY TERRAIN OR CHANGE OF OPERATION
FINAL PROTECTIVE LINE: LINE WHERE ENEMY ASSAULT IS BLOCKED BY INTERLOCKING FIRE FROM ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS
SYSTEMS
TRAVERSE: MECHANICAL MEANS OF ORIENTING MAIN ARMAMENT
TARGET DESIGNATE: DIGITAL CAPABILITY THAT ALIGNS THE PRIMARY WEAPON SYSTEM WITH AN INDEPENDANT OPTIC
PROCESS OF DECIDE
- COMBAT POWER
- PRIORITIZATION
- METHOD
- TARGET CONFIRMATION
- CONTINGENCY PLAN
COMBAT POWER
DETERMINE APPROPRIATE SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE DESIRED EFFECTS ON TARGET
PRIORITIZATION
PRIORITIZE THE TARGETS TO DESTROY THE MOST DANGEROUS FIRST
PRIORITIES: MOST DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS, LEAST DANGEROUS AND HIGH PAYOFF
CRITERIA:
-NEAR BEFORE FAR
-FRONTAL BEFORE FLANK
-STATIONARY BEFORE MOVING
-KILL TO PROTECT THE FORCE
-KILL AT TACTICALLY RELEVANT DISTANCE
METHOD
LEADER DETERMINES THE MEANS TO DELIVER THE DIRECT FIRE AGAINST THE THREATS
FIRE PATTERN AND ENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
METHOD
FIRE PATTERNS
MAXIMIZE MASSING OF FIRES WHILE MINIMIZING FRIENDLY EXPOSURE
-FRONTAL FIRE
-CROSS FIRE
-DEPTH FIRE
METHOD
ENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
ACHEIVE MOST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT USE OF COMBAT POWER
-SIMULTANEOUS FIRE
-ALTERNATING FIRE
-OBSERVED FIRE
-POINT FIRE
-AREA FIRE
-SEQUENTIAL FIRE
-TIME OF SUPPRESSION
-RECON BY FIRE
TARGET
LEADER MUST COMPLETE TARGET CONFIRMATION PRIOR TO GIVING COMMAND OF EXECUTION
CONFIRMED BEFORE ISSUE OF FIRE COMMAND
FIRER ALSO CONFIRMS TARGET ID AS THEY MAKE FINAL PRECISE LAY ON TARGET
CONTINGENCY PLAN
PLAN TO DEAL WITH COMPLEXITIES OF BATTLE
PLAN FOR:
-DIMINISHED CAPABILITIES
-LIMITED VISIBILITY
-BRANCHES
-SEQUELS
DETERMINING RANGE
-IMMEDIATE RANGE DET METHODS
-DELIBERATE RANGE DET METHODS
RANGE
IMMEDIATE METHODS
-LASER RANGE FINDER
-RECOGNITION METHOD
-100 METER METHOD
-BRACKETING
LRF CAUSES OF FAILURE
- INTERNAL FAIL
- VEHICLE POWER FAIL
- ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- OBSCURANTS (SMOKE)
- MULTIPLE RETURNS (TARGET SMALLER THAN BEAM)
- ENEMY LASER DETECTION SYSTEMS
