Appendix 1 (Captured Personnel, Documents, and Material) toAnnex B

1. Purpose. This appendix specifies the policies, respon-

sibilities and procedures for handling PWs, suspects, civ-

ilians, returnees, captured documents and material.

2. Personnel.

a. Categories.

(1) Prisoners of War are persons wjho qualify under Article

1+ of the Geneva Convention. The following persons receive this

protection:

(a) Any captive members of enemy forces involved in an

armed conflict against the United States, to include mem-

bers of militias, volunteer corps, or organized resistance

forming part of, or contributing to such armed forces. (Mil-

itias, volunteer corps, and organized resistance movements

must meet the following conditions: The unit must be command-

ed by a person responsible for his subordinates; it must

have a distinctive sign recognizable at a distance, its

members must openly carry arms, and they must conduct their

operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.)

(b) Any person, whether civilian or military who is

captured while engaging in combat or a belligerent act,

other than an act of terrorism, sabotage or spying against

U. S. Forces.

Cc) Persons detained as suspects who are later deter-

B-l-l

1 DEC '197i1st Cay Div Reg 525-2

mined to be within the categories of (a) and (b) above. (Civ-

ilians who are suspected of being spies, saboteurs, terrorists,

or criminals are not entitled to treatment as PWs.)

(2) Suspects: Persons who, when detained, were not

openly engaged in combat but whose location, actions or appear-

ance raise suspicions about their status.

(3) Returnees: Persons who voluntarily return to fed-

eral control after having actively supported the enemy in some

form of political or military activity.

()+) Innocent Civilians: Detained Civilians. who are

determined to be innocent victims of military operations will be

returned to local civil authorities through G5 channels.

b. Responsibilities. General staff responsibility for all

captured personnel is vested in the ACofS, G2. S-pecial staff

responsibility for handling, processing and disposition is vested

in the Provost Marshal. The Provost Marshal operates the Division

Collecting Point.

c. Capturing units disarm, search, and segregate by nation-

ality and sex, field grade officers, EM, agents, and political

personnel. PW's will not be allowed to eat, smoke, drink, or

rest before arrival at division PW collection point, except when

such treatment would be inhumane.

d. Interrogation of Prisioners of War. If possible the

capturing unit should interrogate prisoners of war for information

of immediate tactical value. Prisoners of war whould be evac-

uated to a command level where qualified interrogators are assigned.

B-1-2

1 DEC !e'


These interrogators will seek to extract the following informa-

tion and send it directly to ACofS, G2 without delay: The PW's

unit, its last known location, and its mission. TJpon completion

of initial interrogation, the PW will be for'.rarded through proper

channels for processing and subsequent interrogation.

3. Documents.

a. All captured documents will be tagged and will include

the date time group (DTG), location found, circumstances of

discovery, and capturing unit. Captured documents may be

examined by the capturing unit for immediate tactical value only.

Documents will then be evacuated through intelligence channels.

The first IPW team receiving the captured documents will deter-

mine the general content of each document. Unon this determin-

ation, the information will be forwarded to G2. Ultimately the

document will be forwarded to G2 and subsequent information ob-

tained will be disseminated as required.

b. If documents are found on a PW, tags attached to the docu-

ment will include the name of the PW. Such documents will be

evacuated with the PW escort to the nearest PW collection point.

G2 will be contacted for guidance.

c. Crypto documents (to include SOT, codes and ciphers) and

documents containing information on CBR'agents or weapons will

be dispatched immediately by courier to G2. Such material will

be handled and reported as SECRET material. G2 is regponsible

for turning captured crypto material over to the supporting ASA

element.

B-1-3


d. Units will search all captured command posts, communi-

cations facilities, assembly areas, base camps, and special

weapons installations for documents.

e. Captured documents found with captured enemy material

will be evacuated with the captured material as technical documents,

unless the material is to be destroyed or abandoned. If enemy

material is to be abandoned or destroyed, the documents (to in-

clude nameplates) will be removed and evacuated as captured doc-

uments.

+. Material

a. Reports: Reports of new or unusual enemy equipment, arms,

CBR agents, crypto equipment, electronic warfare, or materials

which indicate new tactics will be forwarded immediately to G2

with a brief description. Report of capture of crypto equipment

will not be made in the clear.

b. Enemy material is tagged to show date, time, place and

circumstances of capture, and the capturing unit.

c. Evacuation and guarding: Captured enemy material is

evacuated to nearest maintenance collecting point. Maintenance

collecting point reports receipt of material to Division G2 and

requests disposition instructions.

(1) Enemy material related to CBR is evacuated only

to avoid recapture; otherwise, it is guarded in place.

(2) Captured or crashed enemy aircraft will be reported

immediately to G2 and guarded by discovering unit until instruc-

tions for disposition are received.

B-1-I

I DEC 19711st Cav Div Reg 525-2

(3) Captured enemy material other than medical material

will be destroyed only to prevent recapture.

(4) Geneva convention requires that captured medical

material not be destroyed. Captured medical material will be

reported to the Division Surgeon. If it is not required for in-

telligence evaluation, it will be used for support of PWs and local

civilians. Its use should be denied to the enemy by any means

except destruction.

a. Unit S-2's, at both batallion and brigade levels, are

responsible for the TARABS effort within their unit's area of

responsibility.

b. Units should utilize organic, attached, and supporting

aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of their own areas

whenever possible.

c. Aerial reconnaissance requirements not within a unit's

capability are submitted as TARABS requests to the G-2 Air.

These requests may be either preplanned or immediate depending

on the urgency of the mission.

(1) Preplanned Requests:

(a) Preplanned requests are submitted to meet an-

ticipated requirements for aerial surveillance or reconnaissance

missions to collect needed intelligence information.

(b) Requests for preplanned aerial reconnaissance

will be submitted to the G-2 Air, through channels, by the most

expeditious means, by 1400 hours the day prior to the mission,

(i.e., a preplanned mission scheduled for 1300 hours 2 July will

be submitted by 1400 hours 1 July).

(c) Requests are submitted using the format in

USTRICOM FORM 103, January 1968, (Joint Tactical Air Reconnai-

ssance/Surveillance Request), (See Appendix 4, B-4-9r). If the

form is used, it will be forwarded in three copies. If the

request is submitted by radio or telephone, only the paragraph

identifying letters and pertinent data need be transmitted (i.e.,

Paragraph 2, H).

B-4-3


(d) Upon receiving the request the G-2 Air will

evaluate it as to TOT (Time on Target), type sensor to be em-

ployed, area to be covered, and desired product. If the G-2

Air makes any changes to the original request, the requesting

unit will be notified and a reason will be given for the changes.

(e) The G-2 Air further consolidates as many re-

quests as possible into single missions to avoid duplication and

to conserve available sorties.

(2) Immediate Requests:

(a) Immediate requests are submitted to meet un-

forseen requirements for intelligence of immediate tactival value.

(b) Requests for immediate aerial reconnaissance

can be submitted anytime, over the Air Force Air Request Net di-

rectly to the Direct Air Support Center (DASC). The request should

be submitted at least 30 minutes prior to desired TOT.

(c) Requests are submitted using the format in

USTRICOM FORM 103, January 1968, (Joint Tactical Air Reconnaissance!

Surveillance Request), (See Appendix 4, B-4-9 ). In submitting

the request, only the paragraph identifying letters and pertinent

data need be transmitted, (i.e., Paragraph 2, H).

(d) As the request is submitted over the Air Force

Air Request Net to the DASC, the Air Liaison Officers (ALO) at

brigade and division monitor the net and coordinate with the

S2/G2 Air, who will approve or disapprove the request.

1 Approval will be indicated by an acknowledge-

ment that the request has been monitored followed by silence for

a five minute period.


2 Disapproval at any level will be transmitted

over the Air Force Air Request Net to the DASC and to the requestor

within the five minute time period. At this time a reason will

be given for the disapproval.

(3) Guide for preparing USTRICOM FORM 103, January

1968, (Joint Tactical Air Reconnaissance/Surveillance Request),

(See Appendix 4, B-4-q)

(a) FROM: This. space identifies the originator

by unit and office, (i.e., S-2, 1st Bde).

(b) TO: Address to the S2/G2 Air at the

next higher level.

(c) CLASSIFICATION: Normally requests are un-

classified for training purposes.

(d) ITEM 1: Each TARABS request will be as-

signed a request number by the originator. Intermediate head-

quarters will not renumber the request, but will forward them

with the original number. Each request will be given a four unit

code. The prefix will be the appropriate Standard Unit Designator

listed below, preceded by the letter R, indicating a reconnaiss-

ance mission. The third unit is the request number for the day,

starting with "1"'and increasing consecutively throughout the

day from 0001 - 2400 hours each day. The fourth unit is the day

of the month the mission is to be flown. For example: The re-

quest number RBL 05-12 indicates this is the fifth reconnaissance

mission requested by the 2-13th Armor for the 12th day of the month.

c. Groups of artillery targets. Originating units v illassign a number to each of their groups of targets. The number

will be preceeded by the Division prefix "A" and will be followed

by the originating units identification number.

Example: Third group of targets originated by 1/6th Arty is A3F.

1 tt Cav Div Reg 525-?

d. Divisi.on FSE will issue, periodically, blocks of four-

digit numbers to be used for designation of nuclear targets.

(Corps allocates Division a. block of numbers for each operation.)

e. Chemical targets .\ill be designated by the addition of

two more letters in the prefix. The letters are:

(1) C-Designating Chemical

(2) N or P-Designating nonpersistent or persistent

respectively.

Example: Fifth nonpersistent chemical target originated by

Division FSE is AZCN5.

f. Enemy artillery, mortar and missile locations.

(1) Suspect enemy artillery locations are identified in

the order of location by the use of two lette:s. (AA - 1st lo-

cation; AB - 2nd location; BA - 27th location.) Confirmed loca-

tions will be designated by the suffix "C".

Example: Fifth artillery locations confirmed, AEC.

(2) Suspect enemy mortar locations are identified in the

order of location by the use of three letters, the first of which

is always the letter "M". (MAA - 1st location; MAE - 5th location;

MBB - 28th location). Confirmed locations will be designated by

the suffix "C"

Example: Tenth mortar location, confirmed, MAJC.

(3) Suspect enemy missile locations are identified in

the order of location by the use of letters, the first of which

is always the letter "Z". (ZAA - 1st location; ZAH - 8th location;

ZBC - 29th location). Confirmed locations will be designated by

the suffix "C".C- 5,


Example: First missile location, confirmed, ZAAC.

3. FIRE CONTROL.

a. Firing Charts.

(1) Whenever practicable a surveyed firing chart, scale

1/25,000 will be used to develop firing data.

(2) Tactical fire direction will be exercised from a.

1/50,00O tactical map or from a map substitute.

b. Procedures used to control "All Available Fire Fire".

(1) When all available fire is reauested, units -,rillfire two round s, shell HE, fuze Quick unless otherwji se instructed.

(2) The procedu.ire for establishing all available fire is:

(Net Call) This is (Division Artillery Call Sign).

FIRE MISSION..........,

GRID ALTITUDE

(NATURE OF TARGET)

TIME ON TARGET (or when ready) .......

AMMUNITION (if: applicable)............

TARGET NUMBER

(3) If Division Artillery approves a request for all

available fires, it will be broadcast on the fire direction net,

or the command and fire direction net, or both nets. If the

mission is TOT, the following instructions wrill be added at the

end of the transmission: TIME ON TARGET -MINUTES FROM NOW, OUT.

(1+) Those Division Artillery cannon units to '"hom the

mission is broadcast will fire if they are in position and w~rithin

range of the target.

Officer, Fighter Liaison Officer, Reconnaissance Liaison Officer,

and Airlift Liaison Officer.

3. Division TACP Location - DTOC - The Division Tactical Air

Control Party (TACP) is normally located with the Tactical Air

Support Element (TASE) of the DTOC.

)+. Division TACP - Alternate DTOC - A TACP will displace for-

ward with the Division Tactical Command Post (TAC OP) and will

assume primary TACP functions when the TAC CP assumes G-3 function.

5. Alternate Division ALO: If the Division ALO is incapacitated,

the fighter officer, reconnaissance officer, or airlift officer,

will become acting ALO and advise the DASC.

6. Fire Coordination Procedures with TASE.

a. The G-3 Air approves or disapproves requests for Tac Air,

within delegated staff authority. He integrates close air support

with the ground tactical plan. He advises the TACP of the ground

tactical situation. He prepares the air support appexdix to the

fire support annex to operation plans and orders.

b. The Fire Support Coordinator (FSC) recommends allocation

and employment of TAC Air resources. He coordinates and integrates

C- -1


its use in the overall fire support plan. He is the clearing

authority for air fires on surface targets. He approves or dis-

approves TACP requests for restrictive artillery and gunship

fires during TAO Air strikes.

c. The TACP, Army Aviation, and FSE should coordinate with

the Airspace Control Element (ACE) to minimize joint-use airspace

hazards. Field forces should be warned of impending airstrikes.

7. TAC Air Close Air Support Request Procedures:

Each Close Air Support request will be assigned a request number

by the originator (Example: FBL 0512). The request number contains

a four unit code. The first unit show=s type of mission, with "F"

for fighter, "R" for reconnaissance, and "A" for airlift. The

second unit denotes the renuesting Army organization (see code

letters listed above). The third unit is the request number for

the day, starting with "01" and increasing consecutively based on

TOT for (preplans and immediates) throughout the day from 0001-

2400 hours local time.

C-2-3


The fourth unit is the day of the month the miscion is to be

flot-n. Intermediate headquarters will not renumber requests,

but will forward them with the original request number. FBL

0512, then indicates this is the fifth CAS mission requested

by the 2-13 Armor for the 12th day of the month.

9. Priority/Precedence: Final priority/precedence of each re-

quest will be determined by the Army Commander or whatever level

the TASE is located. Guidance for priority/precedence assignment

by units will be published in the Air Fire Plan based on the

following criteria:

a. Target preventing a unit from accomplishing its mission,

including nuclear capable targets.

b. Target capable of serious interference with the unit

mission.

c. Target capable of eventual interference rith the unit

mission.

d. Target capable of limited interference with the unit

mission.

10. Communication Procedures:

a. The Division TACP may enter- Divisional nets as required.

Net entry, authentication, and operational procedures will be

lAW current SOI..

b. The TACP: can normally be reached on that unit's Command

Net (FM)

c. The fighters can normally be reached on the UHF Air.

Direction Net.

11. IJSAF Tactical Weapons Safety Criteria - Recommended Minimum

Distances =for Protected Troops:' (See Tab C).

12. Airborne FAC: Normally-available for VR and strike control

from resources assigned to Division TACP. -Division ALO rill

allocate airborne FACs as reqi.ired within -the division section

on a priority basis established by, G-3. Communication capabil-

ities: FM, UHF and VHF. Other: capabilities: Artillery adjust-

ment, convoy escort, day and night VR, pin-pointing , ground forces

position, 'communication relay,, wAreather information, general

observation and rescap.

13. Target and Friendly :Marking : .Ground forces should have

available and consider using.,the following items; to mark target

and friendly positions: Smoke grenades, signal mirrors, strobe

lights, flare pots, colored panels, flash lights, artillery smoke,

WP grenades and geographic aids.

14. Combat Sky Spot (CSS): MSq-77 or other comparable ground

controlled precision radar bomb system may be employed in the di-.

vision sector. This technique is most useful at night or.when

weather conditions limit other types of weapons deliveries. Due

to system accuracy limits, permission thought must be given to

the safe separation of friendly troops from planned targets.

As a general rule, no CAS drop will be made closer than 1000

meters from friendly personnel. Targets within 1000 meters of

friendly personnel mast be specifically cleared by that ground

unit commander.

C-2- 5

(2) Determines what level of radiation may be received

within this degree of risk concept.

(3) Advises the commander that a certain dose level

may be considered as the operational exposure guide for that

particular unit.

Q+) Categories of exposure:

Radiation status categories are based on previous

exposure to radiation.

Reclassification of units from one category to a

less serious one is done by-the commander upon advice of the

surgeon after ample observation of the actual state of health

of the exposed personnel has been made.

All exposures to radiation are considered to be

total body and simply additive. No allowance is made for body

recovery from radiation injury.

The operational exposure guide established by the

commander can be any number in the risk range appropriate to the

units mission and radiation status and includes exposure to all

predictable initial and residual radiation.

Risk levels are graduated within each status cat-

egory in order to provide more stringent criteria as the total

radiation dose accumulated becomes serious.

1st Cay Div Reg 525'-2

(c) This log will be cleared hourly by the message

center supervisor against the DA 11-118, DA 11-53 and the delivery

list DA 11-39.

(5) Communications center delivery list (DA 11-39).

(a) The DA 11-39 will be used when delivery to the

addressee is performed directly from the commcenter/message

center.

(b) If delivery is to an AG message center, the

DA 11-39 is not necessary.

D. Message Centers

(1) Message centers are established by local commands

to facilitate message distribution, duplication, and office

or record functions. If a message center is installed within a

signal center, it will normally be co-located with the commcenter.

(2) Message center personnel are responsible for entering

the office symbol or designation of unit originating message,

the precedence, the time of filing, the originator's date-time

group station serial number, and the means used (placed in the

"Groups" column).

(3) The message center supervisor is responsible for

clearing all logs (commcenter, message center and RATT{) and

insuring that message traffic is being processed according to

precedence.

E. Installation and Lineup.

(1) All commcenters/message centers will be located

within easy access from the main entrance to the CP and easy

G-11


access to the operations element of the CP.

(2) Initially, teletypewriter communications will

be established in the clear. Crypto equipment will be installed

on the line at all times and will be switched to cipher after

both stations have made contact in the clear.

(3) If contact is not made after switching to cipher,

both stations will again switch to the async or plain text mode

and re-establish in the clear. Both stations will check their

key for proper day and settings. All connections will be double

checked.

() Once all equipment, wiring and keying material

has been checked for correctness, stations will attempt to make

contact in the cipher mode. Only after the second failure to

make contact in cipher mode will a repairman be called.

IX. Radio-Teletypewriter (RATT) Procedures.

A. General. The division radio teletypewriter network is

designed for communications during a mobile tactical situation

when signal centers have not yet been established. Once a signal

center is established to support a headquarters or forward

communications area of responsibility, the radio-teletype will

be used primarily for backup of other established communications

facilities within the commcenter. In some instances, radio-

teletype will be utilized to provide sole-user service.

B. User's Responsibilities:

(1) The user is responsible for preparation of message

traffic lAW AR 1l5-31 on the DD 173, Joint Message Form.

G-12


(2) In tactical situations where facilities for message

preparation are inadequate or time is excessive, an alternate

format may be utilized, subject to the approval of the signal

officer.

D. Net Control Station Responsibilities.

(1) Turning to the correct frequency and maintaining

that frequency unless directed to change to a new frequency.

(2) Notification of all stations prior to any change

of frequency or another frequency as assigned by the Division

Signal Officer.

(3) Requesting frequency changes through the Signal

Officer of the echelon of command being supported.

(4) Directing the net. There will be no "free" nets

in the division.

(5) Monitoring all transmissions and insuring that proper

procedures are being employed.

(6) Preventing unnecessary transmissions or "chatter"

between stations in the net.

E. Rules of Precedence.

(1) FrASH: This precedence is reserved for initial

enemy contact messages or operational combat messages of extreme

urgency.

(a) This precedence should not be used for mes-

sages concerning further development of enemy contact unless

they involve warning of imminent large scale attacks or extremely

urgent intelligence information.

G-13


(b) Flash precedence should be used for messages

taking emergency action to prevent conflict between friendly

forces.

(c) Flash messages shall be as brief as possible,

and will be handled ahead of all other precedence traffic.

(2) IMMEDIATE: This precedence is reserved for messages

relating to situations which gravely affect the security of

national or allied forces or populace and which require immed-

iate delivery to the addressee. This precedence should be used

for: (a) Messages containing amplifying reports of

initial enemy contact.

(b) Messages requesting or cancelling additional

support.

(c) Aircraft movement reports.

(d) Messages concerning grave natural disasters.

(3) PRIORITY: This precedence is reserved for messages

which require expeditious action by the addressee and/or furnish

essential information for the conduct of operations in progress

when routine precedence will not suffice.

(a) This precedence should be used for situation

reports from fronts where an attack is impending or where fire

or air'support will soon be placed.

(b) This precedence can also be used for coord-

inating messages between air formation or units and ground or

naval operations.


Cc) This precedence should not be used for adminis-

trative, logistical or personnel matters unless dictated by the

time factor.

(d) Priority messages twould not normally override

routine messages unless the latter were unduly long.

(1) ROUTINE: This precedence will be used for all types

of messages which justify transmission by electrical means unless

they are of sufficient urgency to require a higher precedence.

(a) This precedence should be used for messages

concerning:

(3) Normal peace time military operations,

programs and projects.

(2) Stabilize tactical operations.

(3) Projected operations.

(1+) Periodic or consolidated intelligence

reports.

(5) Administrative, logistical and personnel

matters.

(b) Routine messages received during non-duty

hours may be held for morning delivery unless specifically pro-

hibited by the command or formation concerned.

X. Messenger Service.

A. Responsibility: The division signal battalion will pro-

vide messenger service from the division command echelons to

the next subordinate organic and attached units.

B. Types of Messengers:

G- 15


DEC(1) Motor Messenger: The division signal battalion

will provide the personnel and vehicles for motor messenger

service on a scheduled or special basis.

(2) Air Messenger: Personnel provided by the division

signal battalion will utilize aircraft provided by the division

aviation battalion.

C. Types of Messenger Service:

(1) Scheduled Service: For scheduled messenger service,

messengers will depart and return at specified times making regular

stops along pre-determined routes. Messenger schedules will

be published in the signal annex of the division operations

order.

(2) Special Service: Special messenger service will be

an unscheduled, on-call type of service used to:

(a) Augment scheduled messenger service.

(b) Expedite handling of high precedence messenger

traffic.

(c) Obtain greater security than that afforded by

scheduled service for highly sensitive material.

Cd) Provide service for units not served by scheduled

messenger service on an as required basis.

D. Special Instructions:

(1) The signal center OIC and all other message center

personnel working with messenger service operations will be fain-

fliar and comply with SSI Item 14-( ).

(2) The message center of all signal centers operated

G-16

.Y.


by the division signal battalion will be pick-up and delivery

point for all messenger traffic.

(3) All subordinate commands will be responsible for

having a qualified messenger at the airfield 15 minutes prior

to and 15 minutes subsequent to the scheduled arrival of an

air-messenger.

XI. Field Wire & Cable Operations.

A. Cable.

(1) Purpose: Twenty-six pair cable for multichannel

communications will be installed between VHF, switchboard, patch

panel and other communications-electronics installation and may

be used for distribution within the CP proper. Power cable for

electrical requirements will be installed between generators

and van utilizing power. These 2 types of cable should remain

separated a minimum of 3 feet.

(2) Installation.

(a) Cable installed within a OP or congested area

will be buried a minimum of 8 inches or routed overhead in order

to clear vehicles when crossing roads.

(b) Twenty-four percent slack will be allowed

during installation. Cables will be tied down at critical points.

Cc) Each section of cable will be tagged to indicate

origin and destination of each cable. Identification will be in

accordance with SOI Item 81-C ).

B. Wire: All wire will be installed overhead when crossing

main roads. Wire will be tagged according to SOI Item 81-C ).

G-17


Adequate slack will be allowed during initial installation to

allow overheading of wire. Wire lines will be secured at

critical points to prevent damage by vehicles or personnel.

C. FM 2+-2O, Field Wire and Field Cable Techniques, should

be referenced for further guidance.

D. Installation Priorities.

(1) When installing field wire and cable systems or

circuits the following priorities will be observed:

(a) Circuits for command and control elements to

include fire support elements.

(b) Circuits for medical and logistical elements.

Cc) Circuits for administrative elements (G-1).

(d) All other circuits.

XII. Radio Communications.

A. Radio nets within this command will be organized as in-

dicated in the 1st Cavalry Division SOI and/or modified in a

command operations plan or order. Radio operating procedures

will be in accordance with FM 24-18 and ACP 12g. AM & FM radio

nets should be considered as back-up communications once other

means have been established. Those messages sent via radio should

be of a short duration to help reduce the possibility of enemy

interception. Ciphered radio messages are also vulnerable to

enemy homing devices.

B. Operator effectiveness will be substantially increased

by utilizing the following techniques:

(1) Radio transmitters will operate on the minimum power

G-18


necessary for satisfactory operations.

(2) When listening silence is ordered, transmitters

will be turned off. Radio silence will normally be called for

a specific period of time. Both radio and listening silence

are automatically lifted upon initial contact with the enemy.

(3) Authentication will be accomplished per SSI Item 20-( )

(4) Frequency interference will be dealt with according

to FM 24-18, SSI Item 62-1 and the Frequency Interference &

Jamming report to this SOP.

(5) Jse of frequencies and callsigns will be within the

Ft. Hood reservation unless specifically authorized by the

Division Signal Office.

(6) Radio net call signs will be classified "CONFIDENTIAL"

when associated with a specific unit. Radio and telephone unit

call signs should never be linked together.

(7) Only frequencies assigned to a unit will be used

by that unit.

(8) Complete call signs are required when:

(a) Trafficing between (different) nets.

(b) Opening/closing a net, entering/leaving a net.

(c) Directing radio/listening silence.

(d) Transmitting to a station which is maintaining

listening silence.

(9) On FM nets, any portion of the call sign may be

dropped once contact has been established, consistent with

identification requirements Tqithin the net.

G-19


C. Detailed radio telephone procedures are contained in

ACP 125.

XIII. Radio Relay Communications.

A. Multichannel radio links between major elements of the

division are provided by the division signal battalion. These

links provide the common user, sole-user telephone and teletype

circuits for the Division.

B. Priorities for multichannel links, unless otherwise

stated in the operations order, are established within the 3

following categories:

(1.) Command links from Division to major subordinate units.

(2) Support links from support command to subordinate

trains.

(3) Lateral links for secondary communications channels.

C. Lateral link to adjacent division will be installed when

applicable. Multichannel links will be established by the corps

signal battalion and army signal battalion for link-up with these

commands. If the Division rear C? is located in the army area,

a multichannel radio terminal set will normally be provided by

army signal unit to connect it into the army area communications

systems.

D. The number of systems installed will be based on the

tactical situation and the commander's desires.

E. Circuit Requirements: Minimum normal allocations of

telephone/teletype circuits are shown in Appendix 7.

G- 20


F. All common user subscribers should have with their inst-

rument the field telephone directory SOI Item 82-C ), published

by the Division Signal Office in order to facilitate efficient

handling of calls by the switchboard operator. See Appendix 2 for

a typical telephone traffic diagram.

XIV. Radio/Telephone Procedures:

A. Communications Security. Many of the proced'ares for

radio/telephone operation are based on the concept that radio

is highly vulnerable to enemy interception and thus has no se-

curity. The more precise the terminology is, the less chance

there is for confusion and uncertainty, thus reducing the chance

of enemy interception.

B. Rules outlined below are based on common sense. A

complete radio/telephone procedure is available in ACP 125(D).

(1) No transmission shall be made which has not been

authorized by proper authority.

(2) The following practices are specifically forbidden:

(a) Violation of radio silence.

(b) Unofficial conversation between operators.

Cc) Transmitting on a directed net without permission.

Cd) Excessive tuning and testing.

Ce) Transmitting the operators personal sign or name.

(f) Unauthorized use of plain language.

(g) Tse of other than authorized prowords.

(h) Unauthorized use of plain language in place of

applicable proword or operating signals~giving unit names in clear).

G- 21


(i) Linkage or compromise of classified callsigns

and address groups by plain language disclosures or association

with unclassified callsigns.

(j) Profane, indecent or obscene language.

(3) The follo'ring practices are to be avoided;

(a) Use of excessive transmitting power.

(b) Excessive time consumed in tuning, changing

frequency or adjusting equipment.

Cc) Transmitting at speeds beyond the capabilities

of receiving operators.

1+) Net control stations monitoring operators making

procedure errors will make on-the-spot corrections. Any station

monitoring a procedure error or security violation shall log

the error in the circuit log.

XV. Radio Wire Integration:

A. An RWI station is operated by the Division Signal Bat-

talion at each signal center (except division rear).

B. Procedures:

(1) Normal radio-telephone procedures will be used when

any portion of the communications is transmitted over the FM-

voice radio leg of the system. When a call originates at an FM

radio station, normal telephone procedure will be used prior to

hook-up with FM radio user and after they are disconnected. Radio

callwords shall be used as designated in the SOI.

(2) RWI shall be utilized when other means of estab-

lishing communications are not available or useable.

G-22


(3) Detailed radio telephone procedures are contained

in ACP 125.

XVI. Visual and Sound Communications.

A. Visual Communications.

(1) Visual communications include hand signals, smoke,

and pyrotechnics and are explained in SOI/SSI Item Number 93.

Meanings of visual signals and procedures for their use are-con-

tained in the above SOI/SSI Items and in ACPs 129, 136, 150 and 168.

(2) Since visual communications is unsecure and observable

by hostile elements, the use of visual signals will be limited

to those instances where troop safety is involved and alternate

means are not available.

B. Sound Signals.

(1) Sound signals include any audible signal which is

assigned a specific meaning by previous agreement.

(2) Sound signals are insecure, as they are also audible

by hostile forces in close tactical situations.

(3) Sound signals will be used only when alternate means

are not available or when the urgency of the situation dictates.

C. Sound signals.

(1) Examples are included below:

(a) Fire Signal.

(b) Air Attack.

(c) CBR Attack.

( +) Sound signals commonly used are contained in SOI

Items 91+-( ). Instructions for their use in SSI Item 91+-( ).

G- 23


All personnel will familiarize themselves with these sound signals.

XVII. Electronic Warfare.

A. Definitions.

(1) ECM - Electronic Counter Measures - an active measure

taken by friendly communications to disrupt the electronic comm-

unications of enemy forces, such as jamming, imitative deception

or other measures to inhibit the effectiveness of enemy communications.

(2) ECCM - Electronic Counter-Counter Measures - those

measures taken to limit effective enemy ECM by measures such as

establishment of radio-telephone procedures and operational training.

(3) Sig Int - Signal Intelligence - All information

pertaining to enemy communications and communications activities

derived from observation, analysis, monitoring, direction-finding

and other sources.

B. Communications Users.

(1) Passing to the Signal Officer all Sig Int obtained

through use of communications means.

(2) Using established procedures pertaining to communi-

cations, and reporting of violations or enemy ECM activities.

(3) Incidents of enemy jamming will be reported by the

operator lAW SOI/SSI Item 62-C ).

(0+) All users of communications will familiarize them-

selves with prescribed procedures, this SOI/SSI, and other direc-

tives as published concerning EW.

XVIII. Frequency Control.

A. Reports: In accordance with AR 105-67, all CE equipment


radiating or receiving radio signals on frequencies throughout

the entire frequency spectrum must be reported on a one-time

basis. In addition to AM & FM radios, units using Radar & PSID

devices will request a one-time clearance for their use to include:

(1) Type equipment, (2) frequency (whether present or not),

(3) range, and (1) type emission. Per AR 105-67, Paragraph 5b,

first-time in use equipment must be reported within 30 days on

DD Form 1347 to the Division Signal Office. A letter format

with the above information may be substituted. Frequency usage

and frequency interference reports are covered in other portions

of this annex.

B. Management: Primary responsibility of frequencies

within the 1st Cavalry Division rests with the Division Signal

Office. Units will use only those frequencies assigned to them

thru the Division SOI, and then only at the minimum power necess-

ary. If the SOI specifically calls "Low power only", units.

must not increase power. If interference is encountered, forward

an interference report to the DSO. Low power frequencies are

being shared with one or more units on post and unusual atmos-

pheric conditions may cause temporary interference. Increasing

the power may allow a unit to cut thru it's interference, but will

only cause interference to someone else. Adequate operator train-

ing must be sustained to assure operators know how to get on a

frequency and stay on it. Frequency drift is a major source of

interference reports. Net control stations are to stay on their

assigned frequency and allow other stations to tune to NCS, not

G-25


vice/versa. Most important stations leaving a net temporarily

should check out every time with NCS to-prevent a station search

or imitative deception while station is off the air.

XIX. Cryptologistics

A. Division Account

(1) A Division Comsec Logistics Support Section (CLSS)

is organized under HHC, 13th Signal Battalion and is the staff

responsibility of the Division Signal Officer.

(2) The Division Comsec Officer, under the DSO maintains

the division account, and provides staff supervision over the

operation and maintenance of the division sub accounts. He also

supervises direct support crypto maintenance.

B. Sub Accounts

(1) The ultimate responsibility for communications security

rests with the commander.

(2) The commander will appoint a properly cleared custodian

and alternate under the provisions of AR 380-40, and sufficient

clerical personnel to maintain the account.

(3) The comsec custodian is responsible to the commander

for the receipting for, accounting, issuing, control, and when

appropriate, the destruction of comsec materials.

(4) AR 3 80-40 and 1st Cay Reg 380-1, Chapter 1, provides

the commander and his comsec personnel with detailed information

concerning control of comsec material. Included are instructions

pertaining to the appointment of comsec custodians & alternate

and their duties.

G- 26


(5) When a new custodian is appointed, the old custodian

is held accountable for the sub-account until released by the

division comsec custodian.

(6) In the instance of a PCS or ETS of the custodian will

not be allowed to depart the division without formal release by

the. division comsec custodian. A letter, Subject: Relief of

Accountability, signed by the division comsec officer will be given

the old custodian when formally released.

B. Assistance

(1) The Division Comsec Officer is prepared to provide

training &. assistance to all comsec custodians and their commanders,

to include orientation of personnel.

(2) For field operations, when necessary, the CLSS will

operate from the Division Main CP under control of the Division

Signal Office.

XX. Systems Control.

A. The systems control center is established to accomplish

detailed signal system planning and engineering. It coordinates,

directs, and controls the implementation, integration, and operation

of a signal communication system.

B. Systems control is a function of the operations and intelli-

gence section of the signal battalion, though other staff sections

of the headquarters company may provide personnel as required.

C. The Systems Control Center is normally located at Division

Main CP. An alternate Syscon may be established to facilitate

displacement and to assume control in the event of the neutralization

G- 27


of the Main CP, Syscon.

D. Syscon exercises staff supervision and control of the

Technical Control Centers (Tech con cens) at each signal center

for all operational matters.

E. To facilitate control, syscon is allocated one sole-user

circuit to each techconcen and command terminal at each brigade

CP and Divarty CP.

XXI. Official Time

Official time is the responsibility of the senior signal officer

of each command. Each communication center will normally be assign-

ed the task of keeping that time posted for anyone inquiring as

to the time. The official time for this command ?ill be that time

in use at the Division Main communications center. Local time will

always be used in the Fort Hood area for training purpo^s. To

convert Greenwich mean to local standard time, subtract 6 hours;

during "daylight savings", subtract 5 hours.

XXII. Requests for Service

A. Telephone Service

(1) Telephone service will be installed IAW SOI Item 82-C).

(2) During FTX's, CPX's and special training exercises

the signal battalion will install telephone service to all known

on either .a permanent or temporary basis, a written request contain-ing unit/section, and justification for the frequency or callsign

will be forwarded to the Division Radio Officer, normally located

at Division Main CP or the Division Signal Office in Garrison. If

approved, frequencies and callsigns will be assigned by the Radio

Officer.

(3) Frequencies and callsigns change periodically and

when compromised. This is done to inhibit analysis of friendly

communications and possible identification by hostile forces, and

to enhance operator training.

(4) Requests for change of frequencies or callsigns will

not be approved unless fullY justified by the requestor.

C. Request for Circuit Allocations.

(1) The Division Signal Officer determines circuit require-

ments for VHF Systems lAW FM 11-50 in the absence of specific

requirements.

(2) All requests for additional circuits or systems will

be submitted to the Division Signal Officer.

XXIV. Reports

A. Spot Reports.

(1) Spot reports for AM VOICE and RATT systems will be

reported by telephone or messenger to Division Signal Office for

any outage lasting more than 15 minutes.

(2) Station outages on Division nets will be reported

G- 29


by the NCS of the affected station to the Division Signal Office.

(3) System outages will be reported by Syscon to the

Division Signal Office.

(4) Spot reports will include:

a. Affected station or system

b. Time outage occured.

c. Reason for outage (If known).

d. Time the station will become fully operational

(if known).

(5) A second spot report will be reported to the Division

Signal Office by the NCS of Syscon as soon as the affected station

or system begins to send and receive traffic.

(6) Outages of more than.. 2 hours duration will be reported

as an extended outage report by the affected station through alter-

nate means directly to the Division Signal Office NLT 2 hours

after the outage occurs. This report will include:

a. Station affected.

b. Estimated return to traffic and actions being

taken to restore system.

c. Reason for outage.

d. Reporting Individual's name.

B. Frequency Interference and Jamming Report.

(1) Frequency interference falls into 2 categories:

Intentional and Unintentional. Intentional interference is called

jamming. Once it is determined that interference or Jamming is

being received on a radio net, every effort will be made by the

G-30


operator to continue operation and notify his supervisor of the

situation. An interference report will be forwarded to higher

headquarters as follows:

a. Initial Report

1. Frequency or channel being interfered wiith

or jammed.

2. Type of interfering/jamming signal.

3. Time and duration of interference/jamming,

including any reception.

+. Signal strength of interfering/jamming signal

and effect on radio communications(strong, medium, weak).

Unit, name, and rank of operator making the

report.

b. Detailed Report.

The officer in charge of the radio site/station

will make a detailed written report on interference/jamming as

soon as practical (within 22+ hours) and forward to his commander.

The commander .in turn will insure that the Division Signal Office

receives a copy of the report. If interference is intentional,

Division G-2 will also receive a copy. Operators and commanders

should keep in mind that frequency interference/jamming reports

must be forwarded thra secure means to avoid enemy interception

of jamming effectiveness. Land line telephone is not a secure

means.

c' Radio Frequency Usage Report (AR 105-63 Ref AR

105-63, FH Suppl 1 to AR 105-63)

(1) The radio frequency usage report is a quarterly

G-31


compilation of use of congested frequencies between 10 KHZ & 30

MHZ. The report is due NLT the 3rd working day following the end

of the quarter to the Division Signal Office. DSO will consolidate

unit reports & forward to higher headquarters NLT 6 working days

following the end of the quarter. Quarterly reports fall due on

Jan, Apr, July and Oct.

(2) Negative reports will not be accepted by DSO. Freq's

not used will be listed on the DA Form 30+3 with reasons for little

or no usage noted in column 50 using designated code. Instructions

for preparation may be found in AR 105-63 and FH Supnlement 1 to

AR 105-63.

Tnb H (Pathfinder Support) to Appendix 1 to Annex H

1. Purpose.

a. To provide a guide for commanders and staff in employ-

ment of pathfinder support.

b. The habitual and proper use of pathfinders greatly

simplifies and improves action in LOC's, PZ's and LZ's and there-

by helps improve the overall success of the operation.

2. Mission.

a. The primary mission of the pathfinder element/detach

ment is to provide navigational assistance to Army aircraft

through operation of en-route navigation, air landing or air

delivery facilities on or over friendly, enemy threatened, or

enemy dominated areas.

b. Additional missions for the pathfinders are to assist

the lifted unit in preparation and positioning of loads and

by providing guidance to aircraft arriving and departing the

LOC(s)/PZ(s). When there are limited pathfinder resources

available, priority will be given to LZ control and en-route

navigational assi stance.

3. Capabilities. Pathfinder detachments are capable of:

a. Infiltrating an objective area by any land, sea or

air means.

b. Indicating with electronic ard visual navigation aids,

the desired direction(s) and route(s) of movement of aircraft

and identity of selected points of the terrain; the identity

H-i-H-i

and looation Bf low-level extraction and air landed delivery

areas; emergency ground-to-air signals; direction of landing

runways, taxiways, and parking areas for fixed wing aircraft;

direction and points of landing for helicopters; and the pres-

euce of obstacles to aircraft.

c. Furnishing aviators, tactical commanders and higher

headquarters with information relative to the enemy and friendly

situation, wind, weather, visibility, and terrain conditions of

delivery areas.

d. Providing aircraft commanders the necessary controls

including information on landing sites, traffic patterns, location

times and altitudes, artillery and mortar advisories and providing

taxi, hover, parking and take-off instructions.

e. Selection, operation and limited improvement of landing

zones for rotary and/or fixed-wing aircraft.

f. Indicating (by means of visual aids) the location of aircraft

parking and unloading points, the initial direction of movement

and- the designated assembly points for equipment and supplies.

g. Furnishing operators to handle radio and/or limited wire

communications within landing zones and between these zones

and the headquarters directing the operation. The wire capability

of pathfinder detachments is limited.

I. Organization. Pathfinder detachment consists of two officers

and thirteen enlisted men. Each member of the detachment should

be a, qualified parachutist.

5. Operations.

H-1-H-2

a. General. If possible, the pathfinder commander should

accompany the AMTFC and AMC on the reconnaissance of the operational

area for the selection of landing zones, routes of flight,

and control points. As soon as conditions will allow, final

coordination betwteen the AMTFC and the pathfinder commander is

accomplished and should include the following;

(1) Ground Tactical Plan.

(2) Departure area and time.

(3) Loading Plan.

(4) Air movement plan.

(5) Landing Plan.

(6) Assembly Plan.

b. The pathfinder detachment and the aviation unit are designed

to support the tactical operations of the ground unit commander.

Landing zones may be operated within the objective- if sufficient

pathfinder personnel and equipment are available.

c. The landing plan must support the aircraft unloading plan;

and- the initial assembly of troops, supplies and equipment in

preselected areas must be designed to support the ground tactical

plan. Unloading and assembly operations must be conducted w4thout

interfering with the arrival and departure of aircraft. Aircraft,

personnel, supplies and equipment must be rapidly cleared from the

landing and parking areas in order to accomplish this. Tentative

unloading and assembly areas are selected during the aerial reconn-

aissance of the landing zones. Initially, the landing (unloading)

areas are selected by the aviation commander based on the size, shape

anc- condition of the LZ. The ground commanders will select the

H1--3

assembly points for their respective personnel. After the initial

lift, the pathfinders will designate exact unloading and assembly

points based on a ground reconnaissance of the LZ. The aircraft

landing plan should assure that the desired personnel and equip-

ment are delivered into the objective area at the time and place

prescribed. The plan shoud permit maximum numbers of aircraft

deliveries in a minimum amount of time.

d. The movement plan includes delivery of pathfinders and

main assault elements. Route to and from the LZ(s) are selected

to provide maximum protection to aircraft, to maintain the se-

curity of the operation, and to support the landing plan. Path-

finders assist in the movement of the main element by operating

navigational aids and furnish guidance and control to the air-

craft. In the objective/LZ's, pathfinders control the activities

of all aircraft within the objective/LZ's to insure saie and

efficient operations.

e. Should the pathfinders be placed or infiltrated into a

LZ prior to the arrival of an airmobile force, consideration

should be given to furnish artillery, armed helicopters and

tactical air support on call to the pathfinder party in the

event they encounter hostile forces.

f. Upon completion of an airmobile lift a pathfinder team

will normally remain with the supported unit to control air

traffic in the vicinity of the LZ and to issue local artillery

and mortar fire advisories. Should the supported unit move from

the LZ by foot, the pathfinders will accompany them to be readily

H-i -H-+

available to set up and organize a PZ whenever an extraction

is required. Intermediate landing zones may be also be established

to effect resupply or medical-evacuation.

g. Whenever the ground force is to be extracted from a PZ

and emplaced into a new objective area, the pathfinder team can

be split, half of the team going with the initial elements of

the airmobile force to the new landing zone, and the remaining

half staying in the PZ until the last elements of the ground

force is extracted. This will insure almost continuous com-

munications between the elements in both the PZ and LZ and the

aviation unit performing the lift.

h. Improvement of LZ(s) is continuous and must be carefully

supervised by the pathfinders to insure that as many hazards and

obstacles as possible are removed and that no new ones, such as

radio antennas, are placed in or near the aircr^'t landing sites.

Pioneer work is normally accomplished by the supported ground unit

or their ogranic engineer elements. Time fuses should not be

used for demolition work or removal of obstacles in areas where

helicopters are apt to fly.

i. The pathfinder is in direct support of the operation

and is responsible to the needs of both the supported aviation

and ground units alike.

j. Upon completion of an operation, attached or augmentation

personnel revert to their parent units (this may be accomplished

at anytime the additional personnel are no longer required). The

pathfinder commander notifies his unit of the completion of the

H-1-H-5

I w) %J - V - .v VF) C..

operation, if' applicable, arnd takes immediate steps to prepare

his unit for further operations.

Appendix 2 (Safeguarding Aircraft from Artillery Fire) to Annex H

1. General.

The Commanding Officer, Div Arty will establish Air Warning

Control Centers (AWCC) at Division (FSE) and DS Battalion level to

provide artillery advisory warning, to aircraft operating within

each respective tactical area of operation. Subordinate, suporting

and attached artillery units will provide necessary firing data to

the AWCC for subsequent transmission over the designated radio net.

For purposes of artillery advisory warning, mortars are considered

artillery.

2. Procedures.

a. Artillery information will be reported to the AWCC (for

mortars, the information will be reported by the Artillery Fire

Support Officer with the maneuver battalion) as soon as practi-

cable before firing. Information will be encoded --or transmission

if sent by insecure means more than 15 minutes prior to firing.

The following format will be used:

(1) Unit firing (and location if not known by the AWCC).

(2) Coordinates of target.

(3) Whether firing is observed or unobserved.

O) Time firing will begin and duration of firing.

(5) Maximum ordinate (in feet).

NOTE: Time and duration of fire should be as accurate as possible

to keep the AWCC continuously aware of the artillery situation. An

estimate based on experience should be used to determine time

necessary to fire each mission. If, during conduct of the mission,

it appear that the estimate time will be exceeded, the unit firing

H-2-1

-' -- -7 -/ -/~ -

will so notify the AWCC and report additional time required to

complete the mission.

b. The AWCC will transmit all artillery advisory information

twice within five minutes of the time of firing (when possible)

and re-broadcast if requested by a pilot. The following format

will be used:

(1) This is _

(2) Artillery now firing from (LZ, Fire Base, or grid square

(3) On an azimuth of _ degrees.

(4) At a range of miles (to nearest mile)to grid square

(5) Max ord (in feet).

(6) For next __minutes.

c. Aircraft entering a brigade area of operations w4ll call

the appropriate AWOC, identify itself, give its desired route of

flight or area of operation. The AWCC will advise the pilot if

the route is clear of artillery firing along its route.

d. The artillery commander (Divarty or DS Battalion, as

appropriate) or his designated representative, at the request of

AWCC, may direct the suspension of fires when requested by a pilot

because of emergency flight conditions except when such a suspension

would endanger the mission of the supported forces. In event of

troops in contact, no fires will be suspended without. the direct

approval of the ground commander. For aircraft desiring to land

near an artillery firing element, the aircraft uill contact the

H- 2- 2

local pathfinder party and request clearance.

3. The Division Aviation Officer will forward information

concerning the AWCC frequencies and call signs and the location

of the Division and Brigade areas of operation to appropriate

headquarters so that Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) may be published

for aviation units likely to be flying in the AO and for other

interested agencies.

+. Call sign and frequency for the AWCC are contained in Item

53-() of the Division SOI.

5. Commanders will insure that their aviation elements are

thoroughly familiar with the provisions of this Appendix.

1. G : The mission of the 1st Cay Div Combat Engineer

Battalion is to increase the combat effectiveness of the Division

by performing tasks of construction and destruction, to improve

the mobility of friendly forces and to impede the movement of

the enemy.

2. Command and Staff:

a. The Division Engineer commands the Divisional Engineer

Battalion and exercises operational control over all engineer

troops attached or OPCON to the Division.

b. Attached and supporting engineer units provide liaison

officers to the Division Engineer at the Engineer Battalion CP.

c. Special engineer effort (ADM teams, AVLB's, MAB's, water

points, etc.) will be located with the supported units usually

attached to task force engineer.

3. Intelligence:

a. .Reconnaissance: Assigned and attached engineer units con-

dict general and special engineer reconnaissance in the divisional

area of responsibility. Non-engineer units will report to G-2,

information of interest to engineers. Items of particular inter-

est are:

(1) Sources of engineer material and equipment,

(2) Landing zones and airstrips,

(3) Conditions of roads, bridges, ferries, tunnels,

and the existence of man-made and natural obstacles,

(Li) Minefields, demolitions, and fortifications, and

( ) Rock quarries.

I-i

b. Maps: Units will report map changes and/or errors to

the Division Engineer as discovered. The Division Engineer will,

in turn, forward the changes through the engineer channels to the

Corps of Engineers, Army Map Service.

+. Operatins; In advance, elements of the supporting Engineers

will be employed as far forward as the tactical situation permits.

a. Airmobile Operations: The Division Engineer supports the

Division by placing engineer units in direct support of tactical

Headquarters to be committed in an airmobile operation. Supporting

units supnort committed Tactical Headquarters by accomplishment of

Engineer tasks as directed. Engineer units remain under the control

of the Division Engineer until they are attached to a maneuver

element. Command and Staff responsibilities in typical tasks are

as follows:

(1) Construction of air landing facilities will be directed

by G-3. TM 5-330 specifications will be used for each type of

facility desired.

(2) FSB Construction: See Appendix 1 (Temporary Fire

Support Base Construction), FM 5-35.

(3) Bridging:

(a) Whem deemed necessary by the Division Engineer

to support Division requirements, the Assistant Division Engineer

(ADE), will arrange for tactical bridging and technical assistance

from Non-divisional Engineer Bridge Companies.

(b) M+T6 will be air lifted in support of tactical

operations when required.

trestle bridges.

(4) Construction and maintenance of roads:

(a) Construction and maintenance of roads will be

limited to those required within the Division and Brigade Bases

of operations. New roads will be limited to types requiring minimum

construction effort.

(b) Whenever possible, the ADE will arrange through

III Corps for airfield and route maintenance responsibilities to

be assigned to non-divisional engineer units so the Division

Engineer Battalion may concentrate on assistance to the combat

elements in the Division.

(c) The ADE will also coordinate airfield and route

maintenance with G-3, G-+, Division Transportation Officer and the

Division Aviation Officer to insure minimum interference with

combat. and resupply operations.

(5) General Construction:

(a) The engineer battalion will be required to

accomplish various general tasks in support of the Division.

Accomplishment will depend largely on the equipment, personnal, and

time available.

(b) Combat support construction such as the construc-

tion of fire bases will be accomplished by the Division Engineers

with maximum self-help from the task force.

(c) The Division Engineer coordinates the activities

of all engineer units through direct liaison with supporting

b. Armored Operations:

(1) Construction and maintenance of roads: The construc-

tion and maintenance of roads will be conducted as in airmobile

operations. This task, however, in support of the Armored Brigade

and Support Command, is more critical and is of a higher priority

than it is for the airmobile and Air Cay Brigades.

(2) Assault Bridging:

(a) AVLB's of the Armored Battalions will normally be

committed before the AVLB's of the supporting Engineers.

(b) When assault bridging must be left in place, the

tactical unit commander will report his action to G-3 and reauest

a replacement bridge from the Division Engineer.

(c) Mobile assault bridging will be helpful

for support of the 1st Brigade in river crossing operations.

(d) Upon determination that bridging rgquirements

exceed the capabilities of the supporting engineer unit, requests

for additional engineer support will be directed through normal

operations channels.

(e) The Division Engineer will make recommendations

for the allocation of organic and attached bridging.

c. Barriers: See Appendix 2(Barrier Installation and Operations).

d. Minefields and Booby Traps: See Appendix 3 (Control and

Employment of Mines, Booby Traps, and Sensors.)

e. Breaching of Barriers and Obstacles: The Engineer Unit

Commander will advise the Force Commander on how best to overcome

any obstacle encountered. If bypass is not possible, the obstacle

1st Uav Div Keg 5z4-2

will be breached or bridged using the most feasible engineer

method.

f. River Crossing Operations: See Apendix 1+ (River Crossing

Operations).

g. General Operations:

(1) Water supply: Water, except that drawn from military

supply points,)will be considered contaminated unless determined

safe by competent and reliable testing. All units will draw from

the nearest water supply point when established. Individual water

purification tablets will be utilized for all water drawn from sources

other than authorized military supply points.

(a) Potable water will be provided on an area basis

with nominal allocation of water points being one per Brigade area,

one in Suport Command Area and one in the Division Troops Area.

(b) Water point security is the responsibility of

Appendix 1 (Temporary Firebase Construction) to Annex I

1. This appendix serves to establish policy for the construction

of light temporary fire support bases (TFSB) by subordinate units

of this Division.

2. The 1st Cavalry Division (TRICAP) TFSB is designed to accomodate

the headquarters element of an infantry battalion (AM), one infantry

company (AM), one 105mm howitzer battery (AM) and necessary support

troops, see Tab A. On a 1st Cay Div TFSB ideally no vertical

construction should be used; everything should be below ground level.

However, depending on the time and equipment available, and the

weather conditions, it may be necessary to place some construction

above ground level, in which case the silhouette should be kept as

low as possible. Natural timber should be used as much as possible

to conserve transportation and materials. The foll-swing structures

and facilities are authorized and provided for:

a. Tactical Operations Center: Two conex containers or MPPAS

.:(Multi-Plate Pipe Arch Shelters) placed in an excavated cut. The

cut should be deep enough to allow the conex(s) or MPPAS to be

below the ground level. Overhead cover is provided by the use of

natural timber or M8A1 matting, covered with dirt and three layers

of sand bags. (See Tab B).

b. Fire Direction Center: One conex or MPPAS, depending on

availability, will be placed in an excavation 8' X 20', aporoximately

six (6) to eight (8) feet deep. The shelter should be covered with

native timbers, M8A1 matting, dirt, and three layers of sandbags.

(See Tab C).

I-i-i


c. Medical Bunker: Will consist of one conex or MPPAS which

is placed in an excavated cut deep enough to allow the conex or

MPPAS to be below ground level. Overhead cover is provided by the

use of natural timbers and M8A1 matting covered with dirt and

three layers of sandbags. (See Tab D'.

d. Perimeter Bunkers: Construction of a four root perimeter

berm with fighting positions/bunkers built into the berm provides

a fast method of providing overhead cover for the base defense

unit as well as perimeter righting positions (See Tab E).

e. Personnel Shelters: Personnel shelters will be constructed

of 4 half-sections of 60" or 72" (inside diameter) steel culvert

and .vered with 3 layers of sandbags. The resulting 6' X 60" or

72" structure will accomodate 2 men. If 48" (inside diameter)

culvert must be used in lieu of the desired size, the -.esulting

shelter will accomodate only one man. All around protection will

be provided by properly placing the shelters and by constructing

supplementary blast walls. Shelters are provided for the TFSB design

population usually about 220 men.

f. Barbed Wire Obstacles: The placement of barbed wire obstacles

around the TFSB will vary depending on the terrain and enemy

situation. It is desirable, as a minimum, to emplace two belts

of single conertina around the perimeter. The degree and amount

of additional barbed wire obstacles will vary depending on the time

available and the enemy threat.

g. Logistics Pads: A 50' X 150' primary logistics pad and

a 50' X 100' artillery logistics pad will be cleared on opposite

1-1-2

" &OT Ist Cav Div R'ig 525-2

sides of the fire support base with adequate approaches for

heavy laden aircraft. An additional log pad will be constructed

for 105mm artillery, whenever employed on TFSB. While the pads

need not be compacted, a peneprime dust palliative will be applied

by using unit during the dry season. Log pads will be centered

in clear areas at least 225 ft by 225 ft.

h. VIP-MEDEVAC Pad: A 30' X 75" peneprimed clean area

centered on a. clear area at least 110' X 110'. Antnroachec -.rill be

in accordance with current aviation safety requirements.

i* Ammunition Storage areas: On a TFSB, 81mm mortar amm __. ,yn

will normally be stored within each gun pit. One ASA for small arms

ammunition will be constructed consisting of a trench 8' X 8' X 1+'

deep with overhead of M8A1 matting or natural timbers with three (3)

layers of sandbags. A trench 5' wide X 20' long X 4' deep will.

be dug for the storage of 105 mm ammunition.

j. Garbage Sumps: A trench 8' X 50' X 6' deep will be construct-

ed. All combustable material will be burned to aid field sanitation

and insure that the sump will suffice for the period of the time

the TFSB is occupied.

k. Fields of Fire: Will be cleared to a minimum of 100 meters

out from-the berm.

1. Roads: Minimum standard roads (uncompacted, 12' wide) will.

be cut from the log pads to the artillery positions and ASP's. A

minimum standard perimeter road (inside the berm) will be constructed,

terrain and soil conditions permitting.

1-1-3


m. Latrine Facilities: Straddle trench latrines will be

used and should be adequate to take care of at least 8 percent

of the unit at once.

n. Water Supply Point: Those TFSB's having suitable access-

ible sources of raw water will be supported with the employment

of an airmobile water purification set. Potable water for all

other TFSB's will be supplied from the nearest practical source

on the basis of 3 gallons per man per day.

o. 105mm Positions: the 105mm howitzer parapets will be

constructed by pushing up a berm. Sleeping bunkers for the

artillery crews will be constructed utilizing culverts with

three layers of sandbags. If culvert is not available, sleeping

bunkers will be constructed with native timber or M8A1 matting.

3. Dependent upon tactical considerations, 155mm howitzers

may be deployed on the fire support base. If these howitzers

are required, the following additional structures will be

constructed:

a. Second Fire Direction Center: Identical to that authorized

in the 105mm battery.

b. Personnel Shelters for 80 Personnel: Identical to those

authorized in the temporary fire support base. If only three

155mm howitzers are deployed, only shelters for 55 persons will

be built.

c. Artillery Positions: The l55mm howitzer parapets will

be constructed by pushing up a four foot berm. Gun pads will be

constructed from 12" X 12" timbers dug in flush with the ground.

I-1-4


Trail logs will be emplaced as necessary.

d. Ammunition Bunkers: Two bunkers per howitzer will be

constructed in the parapet using 55 gallon drums, M8A1 matting and

bunkered with sandbags. A trench similar to that constructed for

105mm ammunition may also be necessary.

4+. Phases of FSB Development:

a. Site Selections: The location of a fire support base is

the responsibility of the tactical commander. Non-tactical con-

siderations such as drainage, year round utilization, etc., will

be weighed in making this decision. The Brigade Engineer should

have an active role in the selection of a TFSB site.

b. Determine Conttruction Priorities: Priorities for construction

are as follows:

(1) Log Pad

(2) Artillery FDC

(3) Howitzer Parapets

(+) Infantry Bn TOC

(5) 81mm Mortar FDC

(6) Aid Station

(7) Perimeter Berm

(8) Stabilization Pads

(9) Small Arms ASP

(10) Garbage Sump

(11) VIP Pad

c. Develop Site Plan: Once the construction priorities are

established, a site plan will be established based on the knowledge

I-1-5

1st Lav Div Reg 525-2

of terrain, weather, and enemy.

d. Determine Equipment, Material, and Troop Requirements: At

this point the tactical commander has completed his construction

planning responsibilities. All materials, including detonation

and demolitions related material are procurred and transported

through Brigade supply channels by the tenant Infantry Battalions.

Engineer equipment requests will be sent directly to the Engineer

Battalion by the Brigade Engineer.

e. Scheduled lifts and Construction Effort: Tactical troop

and logistical lift arrangements will be made by the tactical

commander. Lifts of engineer equipment will be coordinated with

the Bridage S-3, by the Brigade Engineer and requested by the

Brigade Engineer through engineer channels. Construction effort

will be scheduled by the engineer unit commander.

f. Establishing Control:

(1) Overall Control: In order to have maximum efficiency,

there will be clear lines of control. The infantry battalion

executive officer is an ideal choice to be in charge of the construct-

ion phase of the TFSB. He will coordinate his own battalion staff

plus supporting units, and will 4nsure that his subordinates are

thoroughly familiar with the plan.

(2) Air Traffic Control: The siporting pathfinder unit

must be included in the planning.- One team should operate out of

the old location and one team should. go into the new TFSB during

the initial assault phase. Ideally, one pathfinder from the old

location will be part of the team that goes into the new TFSB.

This is added insurance that loads are placed where they are

1-1-6

1st Cay Div Reg 5 25-2

wanted on the new TFSB.

(3) Combat Assauxlzt and Initial Clearing: Engineers

may accompany the infantry in the combat assault. When the

selected area is heavily forested or overgrown so that the air-

craft cannot land, engineer troops will rappel into the area

with chainsaws and demolitions and clear an LZ large enough to

introduce a CH-54. If the LZ is already reasonably clear,

engineer troops will land and begin expanding the LZ.

g. Immediate Tactical Construction:

(1) The first engineer equipment brought into the LZ

will be a Case 4+50 bulldozer to be used to clear fields of fire

and to prepare the howitzer positions. Next, the Caterpillar

D-5 bulldozer will arrive, be assembled, and begin pushing up the

perimeter berm. Finally, the International Harvester 3444 backhoe.

will arrive and begin to dig emplacements for the TOC, FDC,

medical bunker and the perimeter bunkers. Maximum use should

15e'made of demolitions and chainsaws to reduce requirements for

heavy equipment support.

(2) Concurrently, infantry and artillery troops with

technical assistance from the engineers, will begin work on

defensive wire and perimeter bunkers.

h. Final Defensive Structures: As early as possible, work

will begin on the TOC, FDC, medical bunker, etc. Work will

continue on the defensive wire. Also, during this phase, infantry

and artillery troops will construct individual sleeping positions

out of sandbagged half culvert sections. All personnel will be

1-1-7

Z DEC 1 st Cav Div Reg 525-2

under protective cover by the end of the first day. As structures

are completed, the engineer equipment and troops will begin

phasing out in order to prepare for other employment. Within

72 to 96 hours after insertion, the TFSB will be essentially

completed.

i. Rehabilitation and Upgrade: Engineer troops and equipment

will remain on a TFSB as priorities permit. They will work in

upgrading the TFSB with respect to drainage, rehabilitation of

damaged or improperly constructed facilities, and continuing inspec-

tion of all facilities to insure their structural safety.

j. Close Out: When the decision is made to close out a TFSB,

engineer troops and equipment will assist the tactical commander

in the dismantling of the TFSB. Structures will be dismantled

in such a way as to salvage the maximum amount of material,

especially, conex conatiners, NMPPAS, culvert and 1-18A1 matting.

\Holes will be filled in and berms leveled as desired by the tactical

commander.

6. Logistics:

The following steps will be taken to insure that materials

arrive at the new fire support base in the proper order at the

specified time:

a. Backward or Reverse Planning: Once the construction

priorities are established by the tactical commander, this technique

will be used in logistics planning to determine what and when

materials will arrive at the TFSB.

b. Airlift Planning: Lifts will be scheduled and precisely

1-1-8


planned to support both the tactical and the construction oper-

ations. The infantry battalion S-4 officer, Brigade Engineer,

and an LCC representative will all take an active part in this

planning. A maximum of 60 sorties are allocated for the opening

or closing of a TFSB.

Appendix 2 (Barrier Installa ion and Operation) to Annex I

1. The Division Barrier plan will normally include the general

trace, description and"..location of major obstacles, priorities

for construction, and instructions for execution. Location,

construction , and establishment of priorities for additional

obstacles are the responsibility of the individual area commanders.

Overlays showing location and unit priorities of these arditional

obstacles will be submitted at the earliest practical date after

receipt. of the barrier plan.

a. ,Basic'-doctrine and techniques are as prescribed by F~M 31-10.

b. Division Engineer, in coordination with G3, is responsible

for preparation of the Division Plan. Details will be announced

in the Division Operation Order each mission.

c. Barrier Trace will normally be developed at Division or

higher headquarters and will include only those individual

obstacles of specific interest to Division or higher Headquuarters.

2. Obstacle/Target Designation: The obstacle/target designation

will be preassigned blocks of numbers with the type of obstacle!

target by letter prefix and letter suffix. (See Tab A)

3. Tactical Unit Responsibility: Thctical units will construct

Tab A (Control and -TEployment of Mines, Booby Traps, and Sensors)to Appendix 2 to Annex I

1. General: This appendix provides basic guidelines anrl doctrine

for efective use o' land mines by units assigned or attached to

the 1st cavalry Division. Its purpose is to establish limitation

on the employment of mines and minefields, and provide Qor the

dissemination of minefield data to higher, lateral, and sub-

ordinate commands, along with outlining a system for reporting,

recording, and marking of minefields.

2. Technical Assistance: The Division Engineer is the chief

technical adviser in the Division on techniques of land mines

for a specific reason, the Division En ineer will recomriend the

most effective employment to achieve that purpose.

3. Types of Hlinefields: The classification of minefields is

base? on the tactical purpose of their employment. Mine ield s

are classified as protective, defensive, barrier, nuisance and

.phony.

a. Protective: A protective minefield is one which is

shallow in depth and simple to install. It will be used by

a unit to strengthen its close-in protection and should be kept

under observation and covered by fire.

(1) Hasty protective: For the.purpose of this SOP only,

a hasty protective 'minefield is defined as a minefield for perimeter

defense which is installed by defending troops and which is in

place only during the hours of darkness.

(a) Authority: The authority to employ the hasty pro-

tective minefield is delegated to the senior tactical commander

I-2-A-1


of the perimeter to be defended.

(b) Manner of employment: Directional fragmentation

mines (M18A1 ,Claymore) will be the only type used., Because

of the hazards to friendly personnel, booby traps and complex

fusing devices will not be used in conjunction with this type

mine. The 1,118A1 will be detonated by using the issued electrical

firing system. iffnless set in concrete, it will not by detonated

by using trip wires or other non-electrical devices. It will

be emplaced after dusk to minimize the chances of detection by

the enemy.

(c) Marking: Some type of marking or warning (e.g., fence,

sign) will be installed. The type and extent of marking or warn-

ing will depend on the local situation and tactical mission and

will be determined py the commander of the using unit at the time

'of installation. All types of warning devices, such as trip flares,

should be incorporated into the minefield to warn of any attempt

by the enemy to breach or otherwise disturb the minefield.

Cd) Recording: If any mine or device other than the

command detonated UiSAl is used in a hasty protective minefield ,

a DA Form 1355-1 (Hasty Protective Minefield Record) must be

completed and in the possession of the; local commander. If the

minefield is to remain longer than overnight, a copy of the completed

form will be forwarded to G-3. Instructions on completing the

DA Form 1355-1 are- outlined on the form in FM 20-32.

(e) Removal: M118A1 mines used in the hasty protective

minefield will be emplaced after dusk and removed the next morning.

1-2-A-2


This procedure will deny the enemy knowledge of the exact loaction

of the minefield and will provide time for inspection and -repairing

of mines. Final removal of the hasty protective minefield is the

responsibility ofT the installing comrmander and will be carried

out at the end of the tactical mission.

(2) Deliberate Protective: For the purpose of this SOP

only, a deliberate protective minefield is defined as a deliberate

minefield for perimeter defense that remains in place throughout

an extended period of time. This type of minefield will be use!5

only when the protection offered by the hasty protective mine field?

is determined to be inadequate.

(a) Authority: Brigade Commanders have the authority

to employ this type of minefield. Authority to install a deliberate

protective minefield may not be delegated below this level.

(b) Manner of employment: Immediately after the decisi(5'

has been made by the Brigade Commander that a deliberate protective

minefield is required, the unit installing the minefield should

contact the Brigade Engineer for assistance in installing the

minefield and marking an accurate Minefield Record (DA Form -135).

Directional fragmentation mines (M18A1),.flares, and field expedient

flame mines (fougasse) may be used. 118A1 Claymore mines will be

rigged for electrical detonation unless they are set in concrete.

When set in concrete, the Claymore mines may be fused for detonation

by using trip wires. Foreign mines, improvised mines (other than

fougasse) and booby traps will not be used. Other metallic U.S.

AP or AT mines will not be used without prior approval of the

CG, III Carps and Fort Hood. If approval for employ ent_' of AP, AT,

I-2-A-3

1st Cy Div Reg 525-2

or toxic chemical mines is .granted, these mines should be laid

by engineer troops only.

(c) Marking: Warning signs in English and native

languages, will be placed 'at frequent intervals on all sides of

the minefield. A standard minefield marking fence will be erected;

enclosing the field on all sides. Designation of safe lanes through

the minefield will be made by the installing unit commander and.

disseminated to all units in the vicinity. These safe lanes

should be changed periodically to preclude detection by the enemy.

(d) Reporting: These reports will be made on every

delioerate protective minefield. Report of intention, report of

completion, and report of removal of transfer. All reports will

be classified CONFIDENTIAL and will be submitted as expeditiously

as possible through channels to the Division G-3. The G-3 will

then disseminate the information to appropriate higher, lateral

and subordinate headquarters.

(i) Report o- intention: This report will be submitted

by the laying unit before the installation of the minefield is

initiated. It may be transmitted initially in writing or orlally,

but an initial oral report must be followed by a written report.

The report will include tactical objectives of mining, types of

mines to be used, location-of lanes, coordinates of the minefield

and the estimated starting and completion times.

(ii) .Report of Completion: This report will be sub-

mitted by the laying unit as soon as the minefield is completed.

It may transmitted initially in writ;.ng or orally, but an initial


oral report must be followed up with a written .report. The

report will include total number of mines ard type of mine lain,

date and time of completion, description of how mines are laid

(buried or unburied), details of how the lanes and perimeter are

marked, an overlay of the minefield (if the report is forwarded

by messenger), and designation of the laying unit and the name

of the person in charge of the laying.

(iii) Report of Change or Transfer: This report waill

be submitted by the comman(ler responsible for the surveillance

and maintenace of the minefield whenever it is changed, remover.

or transferred. It will be a written report. Its content will

depend on the circumstances and will include, when appropriate,

grid references of the minefield -and the identiPication number;

list changes; date and time of change, removal, or transfer;

designation of relieved and relieving units (in case of transfer);

signatures of the relieved and releiving commanders (in case of

,transfer).

(e) Recording: Da Form 1355' (lhinefield Record) will be

used. The engineer officer in charge of laying unit is responsible

for its. preparation and will sign the completed form. Two copies

will be prepared. One copy will be left with the commander

responsible for the surveillance .and maintenance of the minefield;

the second copy will be forwarded through channels to the Division

G-3. The G-3 will reproduce sufficient copies to make appropriate

distribution to higher, lateral, and subordinate commands.

b. Other. types of 1inefields:

I-2-A-5.


(1) Defensive Mjinefields: Are minefield's installed

to defeat or limit penetration into or between unit defensive

areas and to strengthen the defenses in accordance with the tactical

plan.. Defensive minefields will always be covered by artillery,

machine guns, anti-tank weapons and all other available forms of

fire support.

(2) Barrier Minefields: Are employed to block an enemy

attack formation or to channel his approach into selected battle

areas. Barrier minefields are usually preplanned and integrated

into corps and division fire plans.

(3) Nuisance Minefields: Are installed during retrograde

or withdrawal operations to delay, disorganize and lower the morale

of an advancing enemy.

(4) Phony Minefields: Are installed to deceive the

enemy into thinking that an area is mined. Phony minefields are

usually constructed o:7 metal cans, scraps, etc, which give false

signals, to mine detectors.

-c. Defensive, barrier, nuisance, and phony minefields will

normally not be installed and authority to employ these minefields

will not. be delegated below the Division Commander. W;hen the

Division Commander determines the need for one of these four types

of minefields, engineer troops will accomplish the mission of

installation. Reporting and recording will conform to the

procedures outlined in 3a(2) above. Reporting of these four types

of minefields. will be on DA Form 1355.

L14 Engineer: Stano Missions: Engineer units will be charged with


the emplacements of STANO devices which fulfill specific engineer

requirements as well as those devices which permit 2+ hour cont-

inuous operations within the theater of operations.

a. Vision/Optics: Vision and optic STANO devices such as

telescopes, standard binoculars, and BC scopes are utilized in

reconnaissance, surveillance, security, and terrain intelligence

but are limited primarily to daytime use.

b. Aerial Photography: Aerial photographs are used to locate

construction materials, perform terrain intelligence, and plan

combat and combat support operations. Engineer planning such

as barrier operations and construction projects utilize aerial

photography.

c. Image Intensification: Image intensification is used to

present target images at night using only the light available

from starlight, moonlight, or skyglow, but can be used with

supplemental IR light. They are used to enable engineers to

perform combat and support operations convertly at night. They

enhance engineer construction capabilities by allowing around the

clock covert operations. They are also used in surveillance of

barriers and bridge security or counter mine systems.

d. Disturbance Sensing: Disturbance sensors work on the

basis of physical contact. Engineer units will advise on location

of and install disturbance sensors. These sensors are applied in

security involving mimes, booby traps, bridges, and in obtaining

hydrology and flood prediction information. These sensors are

usually densly seeded in an area.

I-2-A-7


e. Acoustic Sensing: Acoustic sensing is the use of micro-

phones and radios to detect audio frequencies. hese (e\ices

are primarily used for security missions but will also be used

with surveillance systems and with mines and boobytraps.

f. Electro-ilagnetic Sensing: These sensors are used in

detecting moving objects. They are adaptable fror sophisticated

security systems and could be very useful during ADM missions.

g. Seismic Sensing: These devices detect the vibrations

of the earth caused by the passing of vehicles or personnel.

Engineer units advise and assist in the iris Tllation of these

devices.

h. Magnetic Sensing: Ihese devices detect the movement of

iron or steel objects through a magnetic field. Terrain intelli-

gence is required for effective utilization of these sensors.

They also provide engineer terrain and route intelligence and

could be used' in security roles.

i. Pressure Sensing: These sensors are designed to detect

the pressure caused by the passing of a target when it compresses

the soil around a liquid filled hose. Terrain intelligence is

necessary for the effective utilization of these devices. Engineers

will use these for security missions, surveillance in countermine

applications and for collecting hydrological or floo1data.

j. Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging detects the difference

between the temperature of a target and its background. This

method can be used in daylight, darkness, and inclement wheather

and is difficult to detect.' It is employed in mine, coutermine

I-2-A-8


and bridging security roles. Tt is also lased in terrain intela.-

gence and locating engineer construction materials.

k. Radar: Information from radar is 1i-ed sfor secu.rity,

terrain analysis, nipping and surveillance missions. Vnlineers

advise and assist in the location and installation o? vario'is types

of radar.

1. Illumination: IL1-lluination is used to enhance around

the clock construction capabilities. W-hen tactically per~iissable,

illumination will' be used to accomplish all types of. missions.

I-2-A-9


Tab B(Obstacle/Target Designation) to Appendix 2 to Annex T

1 . Division and each subordinate Headquarters down to and

including maneuver battalions will be assigned a block of

approximately 250 numbers to designate those obstacles/targets

Apnenii 3 (River Crossing OPerations) to Annex T

1. General:

a. Purpose: The porpose of this appendlix is to provid e gpioeance

to all division units in techniques of river crossing.

b. 'The guidance contained herein supplements that conta ned

in P1? 31-60.

2. Definitions:

a. Crossing Front: Entire distance along the river in the

zone of the crossing force.

b. Crossing Area: Contains crossing sites, space for equip-

rient and space for dispersal of convoys. ihe size of' the area is

determined by the degree of acceptable risk: to nuclear or non-nuclear

fires and the size of the crossing force.

c. Crossing Sites: Location on the river that possesses the

characteristics required for operation of crossing equipment and

meets the tactical requirement.

3. Operations:

a. Aspects: Ihe broaw aspects of the operation include the

following:

(1) Final preparation for crossing;

(2) Advance to the river in a hasty crossing;

(3) Assault of the river;

(+) Advance on the enemy side of the river;

(5) Establishment o f the bridge head; and

(6) Protection of the bridgehead against counter. attack.

b. Sequence of Planning:

I-3-1

1st CAy Diy Reg 525-2

(1) Selection of bridgehead and terrain objectives

as considered necessary. There must be adequate area -urit;hin the

limits o the bridc1ehead to acconiod ate the iv sion forcds and

supnort elements and adequate lefensable terrain to redispose

the divi sion forces for defense if required.

(2) Selection of in ernediate objeotive areas and terrain

objectives as considered necessary.

(3) Determine requirements and allocation of:

(a) Assault forces;

(b) Crossing means and sites: sufficient means must be

available to cross the assault force. Sufficient sites must be

available to allow for dispersion;

(c) Army Aviation, Engineer, Chemical, iiilitary Police,

and similar units;

(d) Fire support;

(e) Air defense support: Air defense artillery must be

deployed early to limit the effectiveness of enemy air;.

(f) Special communication support; and

(g) Other combat service support..

(1) Development of training programs oriented around,

training of the assault troops for the crossing.

(5) Development or a crossing plan to include operational

times for rafts and bridges.

(6) Develop air and surface movement.

(7) Develop and coordinate deception plans.

c. The Divisional Engineer Battalion will normally provide

L-3-2

1st 1a Dv Reg ~25-2

support to the sssault u hits on the far shore.

d. Attached engineer units will nor>mslly provide nesr shore

support.

e. All levels o f command will attempt to make a hasty river

crossing, however, plannin gwill always be on the same basis as

a deliberate crossing.

f . 'tactical bridging will be replaced w1 ith semi.permanent or

permanent bridging as soon as possible and practicable. Resu.ilting

surplus tactical bridging will be reporter to Corps Engineer "or

disposition instructions.

g. Control:

(1) During the assault phase, all movement of troops, equin-

ment, and supplies over the river is controlled 'rom the DTOC through

the assault force comnrmanders.

(2) Once the crossing area is established, control

reverts to the crossing area comnmander, who is designated by the

Division Commander and is assisted by an Engineer representative

and a Provost Ilarshall representative. 1h^ Engineer representative

provides advice to the crossing area com rander on the condition

of all river crossing means and the estimated crossing capability.

The Provost Marshall representative provides advice to the crossing

area commander on the condition of all routes into and out of the

crossing area, the location and rate of movement -of each crossing

unit and necessary route changes.

h. River crossing operations wrill be chacterized by:

T-3-3

1st ( v )jiv Rrfr 525-2

(1) Thorough and detailed planning at all echelons

(2) Es tablishment ol? adequate :orn'i nications

(3) Decentralized :ontrol at task Uorce or Brirade..level

(4) Timely and decisive command decisions by crossing

area commanders

lab A(Crossing iiean:) to Appendix 3 to Annex

1. General:

All available crossing means are ised- to achieve mnx;im seed

in the crossing amci to reguce the critical nature of' ny crossing

means. Fixedl bridging may be used to ,feet special reqlire ints, -ut

is not generally used in the initial phase of the assault.

2. Crossing Means:

a. Amphibious Vehicles: Armored Carriers and amphibious

vehicles are preferred for transporting troops while unarmored

amphibious vehicles should be used for crossing supplies and equip-

ment. Entry and landing points miust have gentle gradient and firm:

bottoms. Stream velocity and noise coul] be the limiting factors

in the use of amphibious vehiclse.

b. Av. iation: Aviation elements will be .iAed in airlifting

troops to secure tactical terrain featuures and lines of communications

within enemy territory. Air Cay units will provide security and

Lire power in the initial assault and security against counter

armored attack. largo helicopters will be used =or selective re-

supply and aerial shuttle servic~e when tactical situation permits.

Aircraft will also provide battleield surveillance and reconnaiss-

ance, medical evacuation, and command and control.

c. Assault Boats: Assault Boats will be used when sufficient

amphibious vehicles are not available, or when the nature of the

water obstacle or approaches preclude their use. Assault boats

reduce the speed of the crossing but are ideal for silent

crossings: and patrols.

I-3-A-1

1st C~ivT Div R g 525-2

d. Fording: Vehicles with built in waterproofing or fording

kits are preferred for crossing with the assault 'orce. she u e of

these vehicles is dependent upon the characteristi s of the wrater

obstacle, its bed and banks.

e. Rafts: Rafts will be used to transport high priority

cargo across the river in the initial phases of the assault. On

large unfordable rivers, rafts and 11A will be used as the init l

neans of crossing tanks and heavy vehicles. Raft sites will be

located downstream from bridges.

f. Assault B3ridges: 3ridges will be installed as soon as enemy

observation and direct fire are removed from the site. After the

brigdehead has been established, additional heavy vehicular bridges

will be erected by non-divisional units so the division engineer

equipment can be released for support of the division beyond the

.river. Engineers will construct bridges, nets, and other devices

upstream and downstream for the protection of the bridge.

-Instructions:

1. The form is. best- sent by means of a trace of overlay if time

arid distance permit°.-.

2. 'JIhen the contamination arises from a single enemy or unidentified

burst, the dose' rte vill always refer to H1+1 hour, and the letter

T wil lbe used. Thut when there have been several detonations at

different times or on different days and no single H+1 hour is

possible, then the dose rates 'iill be reported as at a specified

time using letter item 0. Letter items 0 and T are therefore alter-

nate and, cannot both be used in the same report.

3. It is not necessary or even desireable to report all four of':

the contours of different dose rates. Four are given to provide.

'flexibility.

+. Letter item X is used for chemical areas of tactical significance..

5. When a contour closes to form a complete ring, the first coordinate

is repeated at the end.

6. Contours when used in plotting, and' when sending the report by

means of a trace are as follows:

Red for 1%0 RAD per hourGreen for 300 HAD per hourBlue for 100 RAD per hourBlack for 30 RAD per hourYellow for Chemical and Biological contamination

7. Contour lines will be annotated with the dose rate.

8. Decay rates will be. transmitted when required.

9. Division CBRE -ill consolidate CBR contamination dat.a on this

form and submit to Corps C3RE.
