Section II
Mines
4. Introduction. The employment or discovery of mines in built-up areas should be recorded on
a building sketch (Figure F-3). (See FM 20-32.) The sketch should include the number of the
building (taken from a city map, if available) and all floor plans. It should also include the type of
mine and firing device. When possible, mined buildings should be marked on the friendly side
(Figure F-4). Clearing areas or buildings that have been mined is extremely difficult and
dangerous. Therefore, such areas should be considered “no go” areas for infantry. This factor
must be carefully considered when planning and authorizing the placement of mines. (See Table
F-1 for notional approving authority for minefields, but with the understanding that information in
that table is subject to change with international agreements and ROE.)
