Figure 2-10. Seizure of a Key Objective
alleys to provide suppressing fires (Figure 2-11 on page 2-26). If heavy resistance is met and the
column is halted, Marines dismount and the enemy and/or obstacles are cleared as quickly as
possible. Once resistance and/or obstacles are cleared, the attack is immediately resumed. If
necessary, units are dropped off to assume blocking positions and await follow-on clearing forces.
Once the objective is seized or linkup is accomplished, the battalion establishes a perimeter
defense. The companies seize buildings around the objective and expand the size of the perimeter
until it is large enough to secure the bridge. Attached engineers can then examine the bridge and
clear it of any explosives.
2203. Infiltration. Infiltration is “the movement through or into an area or territory occupied
by either friendly or enemy troops or organizations. The movement is made, either by small
groups or by individuals, at extended or irregular intervals. When the term is used in connection
with the enemy, it infers that contact is avoided” (Joint Pub 1-02).
