…The vertical nature of large urban areas may block the pilot's line of sight with the target unless careful consideration is given to inbound headings and altitudes. Plan attack headings to take advantage of large…

…The sanitation or public works department will have knowledge of the subterranean sewer lines Civil engineers will have extensive knowledge of water and power distribution nodes Law enforcement representatives may have access to lists of people…

…Solid lines between symbols denote association. Dashed lines between symbols denote possible association. The analyst may use colored and varying types of lines to show different activities (for example, green solid lines for money transfer, blue…

…A reservoir supplying water to a city may be many miles away, electricity can come from remote power stations, and the control points for these services and others, such as communications lines, may be vulnerable. Military…

…For example, operational reach—the distance and duration across which a joint force can successfully employ military capabilities—can extend far beyond the limits of a JFC’s JOA and is inextricably tied to lines of…

…If preparing a timeline, summarize the data along a line, usually horizontal or vertical. The sides of the line can be used to distinguish between types of data. If more than one person is involved, multiple…

…Subordinate to USJFCOM, JWAC provides planners with specialized lines of communications analysis for use in developing targeting strategies. JWAC provides innovative and accurate engineering and modeling-based targeting options with an understanding of risks and consequences…

…The LD should be located on the near side of an open area running perpendicular to the direction of attack, such as a street or rail line. (5) Time of Attack. Ideally, the time of attack…

…However, ground-level, long-range fires down streets or rail lines and across parks or plazas are possible. ATGMs may be used effectively from upper stories or roofs of buildings to fire into other buildings. (b…

…IPB provides the basis for line of sight overlays and situation templates. Line of sight overlays help protect the force. If an enemy force cannot observe a friendly force, that enemy force cannot engage the friendly…

…In the alert carry, the Marine keeps both eyes open and scans for any threat with the weapon always in line with the Marine’s LOS (this is called “guns ’n’ eyeballs”). When a threat is…

…For example, the JFC may require targeteers to prevent enemy flight operations while safeguarding the airfield’s capability to support blue force operations once captured. The employment of nonlethal capabilities, such as public affairs, key leader…

(8) The commander assigns final protective fires and machine gun final protective lines (FPLs). Machine gun positions provide interlocking grazing fire and mutual support between adjacent units. FPLs are fired on planned signals. Proposed FPLs must…

…Other obstacles to missile flight include trees and brush, vehicles, television antennas, buildings, power lines and wires, walls, and fences (See Figure B-7). b. An AT4 is best suited for built-up areas because its…

…include: Manmade structures in the urban environment provide cover and concealment for both the attacker and defender. Lines of communication can be more easily interrupted due to multiple avenues of approach. All units must be prepared…

…Maneuver units move near the final coordination line while the enemy is engaged by supporting fires. As the attacking force assaults, supporting fires lift and/or shift to block enemy withdrawal or to prevent the enemy…

…Larger cities may have subterranean features that include sunken garages, underground passages, subway lines, utility tunnels, sewers, and storm drains (Figure E-1). Most of these features allow for the movement of units. Even in smaller…

…Thus, a draft JIPTL cut line is usually established. This cut line should reflect which targets will most likely have action taken against them. (c) It should be clearly understood that the cut line simply reflects…

…One way uses active defensive measures that protect the joint force, its information, its bases, necessary infrastructure, and lines of communications from an enemy attack. Another way uses passive defensive measures that make friendly forces, systems…

…Gaps may give the enemy the opportunity to infiltrate along the line of advance or make isolated friendly forces vulnerable to attack. Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain 2-9
