Title: Conducting a Deliberate Attack on the Squad Level


1
Conducting a Deliberate Attack on the Squad Level
  • c/CPT Barry and c/CPT Shumate

2
Why we conduct this
  • Battle drill 1A Squad Attack in FM 7-8
  • Teaches basic attack skills to suppress enemy and
    destroy them
  • Battle drills are proven techniques the Army uses
    to defeat enemies
  • Squads rarely operate independently for
    training, though, we train in squads

3
Planning
  • All missions begin with the squad leader
    receiving an operations order (OPORD)
  • The squad leader then issues a warning order
    (WARNO) to squad and plans a course of action,
    taking several factors into consideration
  • The squad leader issues the OPORD to the squad
    members and begins the mission

4
Formation and Movement
  • Most common formation is squad column fire team
    wedge
  • Squad splits in two teams
  • Alpha Team
  • Bravo Team
  • Each team has a team leader that reports directly
    to squad leader

Movement
  • When moving, keep your heads on a swivel (look
    all around for enemy)
  • Keep good distance, typically 5-10 meters apart
  • Use hand signals to communicatestay silent and
    undetected!

7
At the ObjectiveInitiating Contact
  • Two ways to initiate contact with enemy
  • Use suppressive fire on the enemy
  • Enemy fires at us

8
Locate the Enemy
  • Enemy Size and Location
  • Squad leader assesses the ability of squad to
    attack the enemy
  • Should have a 31 friendly-to-enemy ratio

9
Suppress the Enemy
  • One fire team lays down suppressive fire
  • Other fire team maneuvers around to attack the
    vulnerable flank of the enemy

10
ATTACK!
  • Suppressing team (first team to make contact)
    shifts fire
  • Assault team uses violence of action and assaults
    the objective
  • Suppressing team lifts fire
  • Assault team moves through the objective and
    ensures all enemy are crushed

Consolidate and Reorganize
  • Security! 360 degrees around objective!
  • Enemy Prisoner of War/Aid and Litter Teams
  • Reports
  • Team leaders report to squad leader
  • Squad leader reports to platoon leader
  • Redistribute ammunition

13
Practical Exercise
  • Situation Caquetans have invaded AO Vandy and
    set up their Headquarters at the local Starbucks
  • Mission Conduct a deliberate attack to interrupt
    Caquetan operations around Vanderbilt University
