…They had great effect against priority targets such as bridges, major road intersections, and buildings. e. Logistics. (1) Deficiencies in the Russian logistics system degraded combat effectiveness. Significant inadequacies in the Russian logistics apparatus effected virtually…

…Reconnaissance of bypassed pockets of resistance, avenues of approach, canals, bridges, subways, and sewer systems (possibly in conjunction with combat engineers) is feasible. Observation, sniper, and listening posts guarded by reconnaissance personnel are also missions that…

…Enemy air targets such as principal lines of communication and road and rail networks and bridges are often found in and around built-up areas. b. Good firing positions may be difficult to find and occupy…

…Selective demolition of bridges and roads and other countermobility measures can force the enemy into taking avenues of approach that favor the defense. (b) Constructing obstacles forward of and between defensive positions to block, disrupt, fix…

…Control of features such as bridges, railways, and road networks can have a significant impact on future operations. Urbanized areas may be used by the enemy as a base of operations from which they launch their…

…Some specific locations to avoid include powerlines, underground areas, and steel bridges. Very high frequency (VHF) radios provide the primary communication capability at the battalion level. It is imperative that these radios be employed as effectively…

…Population density, characteristics, and culture Location and quality of water supply Width and construction of streets Layout of road networks Location, width, and load capacity of bridges Layout of underground networks such as subways, sewers, and…

…Good engagement areas include narrow streets, turns in the road, “T” intersections, bridges, tunnels, split-level roads, and rubbled areas. Less obvious locations can also be created by using demolitions or mines to create obstacles. (2…

…The target reference points should be clearly visible through the gunner’s sights and should be relatively resistant to battle damage (for example, large buildings or bridge abutments, but not trees or cars). The three types…

…Checkpoints and contact points are designated by each unit as appropriate for command and control at street corners, buildings, railway crossings, bridges, or any other easily identifiable feature. (e) Attack Position and Line of Departure (LD…

…Primary examples of key terrain in the urban environment are ports, airfields, power grids, communication nodes, bridges, government building complexes, or parks. We identify key terrain so that we can better select our defensive positions and…

…Data Bridges (On Multiple Bands) In the world of HF radio, everything is a trade-off. The configurations, fre- quencies, and antennas needed to communicate over long distances are not best suited for local comms, and…

…The plan was to land three airborne divisions to seize key bridges along a 100-kilometer-long corridor through which allied mechanized forces would pass as the first step in the final offensive into Germany. The…

…Data Bridges A variety of networks using bands, times, antenna configs, and data modes best for making long range contacts. Scheduled weekly, every Saturday with time windows to allow for multiple DX contacts. Most users will…

…Within the city, airports or airfields, stadiums, parks, sports fields, school playgrounds, public buildings, road junctions, bridges, or industrial facilities may be key terrain. Critical public buildings are identified during the terrain-analysis phase of an…
