- attack in rear area
- Vital to maintain area security
-
zone recon
- - Purpose: directed effort to obtain detailed info about
- routes, obstacles, terrain, and enemy forces within a zone defined by
- boundaries
- - Best used when initially deployed into an area
- for first time
-
Screening and Surveillance Missions
Defensive in nature
- Accomplished with Ops and mobile patrols
- Enemy Contact: If larger that Level 2 force, call TCF.

- Necessary when: base defense force and MP RF
- cannot defeat an enemy
- -
- Occurs at time or event designated by the TCF CDR
- -
- TCF CDR decides method of handover:
RF passes rearward through stationary TCF
TCF passes forward through a delaying RF
- RF initiates blocking positions with TCF
- conducting attack to destroy enemy
-
COMMAND POST SECURITY
- -
- CPs at BDE and above critical assets
- -
- Security during relocation
- -
- Amount and type of security depends on CP being

Maintain constant commo with HQ
-
PURPOSE OF MMS
- -
- Ensure freedom of movement
- -
- Eyes and ears of the CDR in rear area
- MP conduct MMS for mobility support and maneuver
- support
-
BREACHING OPERATIONS
- -
- MPs allow maneuver despite presence of obstacles
- -
- MPs control traffic at breaching site and MSRs
- leading to and from site through TCPs, holding areas, and mobile guides
MPs plan or reverse flow contaminated traffic
-
GAP CROSSINGS
- -
- MP move forces across a gap with minimal loss of
- momentum
- -
- MPs control traffic at the crossing site and
- MSRs leading to and from site through (TCPs, staging areas, holding areas,
- mobile patrols, temp EPW collecting points)
OPCON to crossing commander
-
TRAFFIC CONTROL POST (TCPs)
- -
- Where two or more MSRs converge or confuse
- exists
- -
- Help protect force critical locations
- -
- Prevents interruption of traffic or unit
- movement
- -
- Communication links to units
Depicted on traffic control plan
-
·
MOBILE PATROL TASKS
- -
- Maintain contact between TCPs
- -
- Continuous area surveillance
Continuously collect data
-
HOLDING AREAS
- -
- Secured area to await further movement
- -
- Helps regulate the traffic flow
- -
- Exact location selected by the leader of mission
- -
- Parked vehicles face exit, disperse vehicles
- -
- Firm surface, easily accessed to and from MSR,
- offers cover and concealment
Defendable
-
·
DEFILE
- -
- Narrow passageways, but keep traffic moving
- smoothly despite
- -
- Ensure traffic moves through one direction at a
- time
- -
- MPs secure and defend site, and control access
- for quick movement
- -
- MPs brief drivers and ensure vehicles enter one
- at a time
Re-route traffic when necessary
-
WHEN/WHY CONDUCT HASTY ROUTE RECON
- To determine the trafficability of a specified
- route. Such information is vital to all units engaged in planning and executing
- vehicular movement
-
PASSAGE OF LINE (MP ACTIONS)
- -
- 3 elements: passing, stationary, and supporting
- unit (MPs can be supporting or stationary)
- -
- MP leaders consider the following:
- size of passing unit and placement of AA
- location of the FEBA
- passage lanes and points
- - location of contact points and phase
- lines
- SPs and RPs of moving elements
-
STRAGGLERS/DISCLOCATED CIVILIAN CONTROL (MP ACTIONS)
- -
- MPs identify stragglers at TCPs or while
- patrolling MSRs
- -
- Identify stragglers by checking: uniforms, unit
- insignia, vehicle bumper markings, ID cards/tags, passes or other documents
- -
- Render first aid to injured or ill, evacuate
- serious cases
- -
- If have info of immediate tactical value contact
- higher HQ
- -
- Handle stragglers from HN or other allies the
- same as US stragglers
- -
- MPs establish and operate Straggler collection
- point
- -
- Straggler Collection point should be collocated
- with medical, trans, and MP units
- -
- Purpose for DC Control:
- maintain freedom of movement for military
- reduce confusion or panic
- reduce DC risk to life and property
- prevent enemy infiltration
- maintain control to facilitate future movement
-
Techniques of movement to objective
-
Central Location
- Simplifies
- a thorough search.
- Denies
- an opportunity to conceal items.
- Disadvantage, it takes inhabitants away from dwelling
- thus encouraging looting
-
Home Restriction
- Disadvantage, makes control and interrogation
- difficult and gives inhabitants time to hide items.
-
Control Heads of Households (HOH)
- HOH
- remains while everyone else is removed
- HOH
- used to open doors and containers
- Best
- method for controlling the occupants
Disadvantage, HOH physically not able
-
Type of searches
- 2.
- Occupant-assisted Search
- 3.
- Informant-assisted Search
Host Nation Search
-
Control Measures:
- Assembly areas, checkpoints, rally points, phase
- lines
-
Know different ways to account for detainees
(bed checks head counts)
- Head counts: Done with
- roster and when there is full security in place
- 2. ISN counts: Count detainees by calling there ISN and

PIO – two different modes- what are they
-
passive poi
- Every MP conducts PI in a
- passive mode during their normal day-to-day operations
• PI is not a stand-alone function
- • Done
- in conjunction with other MP functions; if information is received, immediately
- submit a SALUTE, SPOT, or other appropriate report up the chain of command
-
active poi
- Done when directed by
- higher headquarters
- • MP conduct specific MMS, AS, IR, or LO missions with the
- intent to actively collect information in support of the IPB / PIAP process
• Done to fill an identified intelligence gap
- • Usually done in support of a collection plan that is
- created by the Bn/Bde S2
• NAIs
• Mobile Patrols
- • Directed
- Collection Missions (house, field, etc)
-
When we do PIO ?
- MP Perform PIO While
- Conducting Combat Support Tasks Such As
o Checkpoints, Roadblocks And TCPs
o Field Interviews
o Criminal Investigations
o Reconnaissance
