To quote Drew:
quote:
Like, who is on the search team in an ambush. ie, who goes forward to search and secure the enemy dead, wounded and POWs.
Cover team, who autoamticaly goes to take a cover position while the other members of the teamdo their thing. <The snipers and machinegunners>
When caught in an ambush or surprise engagement,
Macheingunners: return fire immediatly while everyone else attacks or withdraws which is shouted! When the other team members have cover they cover for the machinegunners to withdraw.
When setting up a camp, team goes to 25% on watch, with the cover personel being the first to watch. OR, the machinegunner set up to watch and cover, snipers autoamticaly go to scouting the area while the others set up camp.
SOP on equipment. Machinegunners and radiomen carry their primary weapon/radio other team members hump the sustainment gear, like e-tools, sleeping bags etc.
Harassment/Ambush:
When harassed on the road, main element orients towards the threat, attempting to locate and identify, suppress if needed. Drew/Coulter as well and take cover to right, they're near Konrad so he directs personally as needed. Dawd/Mariusz take cover on left and cover the opposite direction. Sutherland covers the rear, back down the road/trail. Point man covers the forward trail. Snipers locate threat or cover other directions as needed.
Note, this is not for full-scale close-in prepared ambushes, as the available cover is likely to be mined/trapped (abatis, stakes, etc.) and we simply need to put as much firepower on the threat as possible ASAP, and quite possibly charge the ambush line.
For a far ambush from either side for an identified threat, Dawid/Mariusz will orient towards the threat along with Drew/Coulter and suppress with GPMG fire, Konrad/Tucker suppress with GL fire. Flank security is provided by Jan (direction of travel), Sutherland (opposite direction of travel) and sides by Dieter/Thor. Konrad can modify as he sees fit (like have the snipers identify and eliminate the threat).
Setting up camp:
Security as per when the Stolly stalled. Drew/Coulter cover the direction of any expected threat. Dieter/Thor cover the other sectors. This is 25% of the force. Dawid helps people get sorted out.
Cover Teams
For the MG teams, Mariusz covers Dawid, Coulter covers Drew. For snipers, Thor covers Dieter (the more experienced sniper usually acts as spotter).
