Battle Drill 07-3-D9501 - React to Contact (Visual, IED, Direct Fire [includes RPG])
TASK: React to Contact (Visual, IED, Direct Fire [includes RPG]) (07-3-D9501) CONDITIONS: Visual (Dismounted) - The unit is stationary or moving, conducting operations. Visual contact is made with the enemy. (Mounted) - The unit is stationary or moving, conducting operations. Visual contact is made with the enemy. IED (Dismounted/Mounted) - The unit is stationary or moving, conducting operations. The unit identifies and confirms an IED or one is detonated. Direct Fire (Dismounted/Mounted) - The unit is stationary or moving, conducting operations. The enemy initiates contact with a direct fire weapon. STANDARDS: Visual (Dismounted) - The unit destroys the enemy with a hasty ambush or an immediate assault through the enemy position. Visual (Mounted) - Based on the composition of the mounted patrol, the unit either suppresses and reports the enemy position and continues its mission, or the patrol suppresses to fix the enemy position for a follow on assault to destroy him. IED (Dismounted/Mounted) The unit takes immediate action by using the 5-Cs procedure (confirm, clear, call, cordon, and control). Direct Fire (Dismounted/Mounted) - The unit immediately returns "well-aimed" fire and seeks cover. The unit leader reports the contact to higher headquarters.
TASK STEPS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES: 1. Visual (Dismounted) a. Hasty Ambush (1) Unit leader determines that the unit has not been seen by the enemy. (2) Unit leader signals Soldiers to occupy best available firing positions. (3) The leader initiates the ambush with the most casualty-producing weapon available,
TASK STEPS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES: immediately followed by a sustained "well-aimed" volume of effective fire. (4) If the unit is prematurely detected, the Soldier(s) aware of the detection initiates the ambush. (5) The unit destroys the enemy or forces them to withdraw. (6) The unit leader reports the contact to higher headquarters. b. Immediate Assault (1) The unit and the enemy simultaneously detect each other at close range. (2) All Soldiers who see the enemy engage and announce "contact" with a clock direction and distance to enemy, example, "Contact three o'clock, 100 meters." (3) Elements in contact immediately assault the enemy using fire and movement. (4) The unit destroys the enemy or forces them to withdraw. (5) The unit leader reports the contact to higher headquarters. 2. Visual (Mounted) a. The Soldier who spots the enemy announces the contact. b. The element in contact immediately suppresses the enemy. c. The vehicle commander of the vehicle in contact sends contact report over the radio. d. The unit maneuvers on the enemy or continues to move. e. Vehicle gunners fix and suppress the enemy positions. f. The unit leader reports the contact to higher headquarters. 3. IED (Dismounted/Mounted) a. The unit reacts to a suspected or known IED prior to detonation by using the 5-Cs. b. While maintaining as safe a distance as possible and 360 security, the unit "confirms" the presence of an IED by using all available optics to identify any wires, antennas, detcord or parts of exposed ordinance. (1) Conducts surveillance from a safe distance. (2) Observes the immediate surroundings for suspicious activities. c. The unit "clears" all personnel from the area a safe distance to protect them from a potential second IED. d. The unit "calls" higher headquarters to report the IED in accordance with the unit SOP. e. The unit "cordons" off the area, directs personnel out of the danger area, prevents all military or civilian traffic from passing and allows entry only to authorized personnel. (1) Soldiers direct people out of the 300-meter minimum danger area. (2) Identifies and clears an area for an incident control point (ICP). (3) Soldiers occupy positions and continuously secure the area. f. The unit "controls" the area inside the cordon to ensure only authorized access. g. The unit continuously scans the area for suspicious activity. (1) Identifies potential enemy observation, vantage, or ambush points. (2) Maintains visual observation on the IED to ensure the device is not tampered with. 4. Direct Fire (Dismounted) - (See Figure D9501-1)

TASK STEPS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES: dictates) while checkpoint operators remain behind a protective barrier or vehicle. Personnel will be ordered to exit their vehicle, open their vehicle compartments that can be observed from a distance (trunk, hood, etc), uncover or take out items from their vehicle, open or pull up their overgarments, turn around, and perform any other additional measures according to the SOP. This visual search is conducted prior to bringing personnel and vehicles into the checkpoint for a detailed search. Local support authorities can be utilized for this area. The initial search zone is more applicable to a deliberate checkpoint but can be used for a hasty checkpoint if the mission allows and threat dictates its use. e. Construct entry point that can restrict and control the entry of vehicles and/or pedestrians into the hasty checkpoint. Entry point should also provide minimal protection for CP personnel if needed. NOTE: Hasty checkpoint approach lanes, entry point, protective barriers, holding areas, and search areas can be constructed utilizing readily available materials such as engineer tape, debris, trees, rocks, concertina wire, existing structures, and all other available equipment/material. The element should also use existing culverts, bridges, deep cuts, sharp bends, or dips in the road to create the hasty checkpoint. Ensure that there is adequate lighting for night operations (if applicable). f. Create or construct approach (canalization) and deceleration lanes that force traffic to slow down, and directs vehicles and/or pedestrians to the designated areas. This can be done with a system of curves and obstacles vehicles must maneuver around as they approach the CP. g. Establish or construct holding areas for detained persons away from checkpoint entrance. NOTE: The holding and search areas are relatively secure areas where personnel and vehicles are positively identified and a complete detailed search is conducted. Existing structures, vehicles or obstacles are used to isolate vehicles or individuals from others with overwatch protection from weapon positions. Mission may require male and female members to conduct personnel searches (female soldiers should conduct searches of female personnel entering the checkpoint). h. Establishes or construct detailed search areas for personnel (male and female) and vehicles. i. Establishes lethal and nonlethal overwatch positions where they can observe all areas and approach areas. Crew served weapons will be strategically placed at these locations. j. Ensure warning signs are posted. NOTE: Warning or instructional signs should be posted in the native and English languages in the checkpoint area. Signs should be placed at key locations and distances leading up to CP. Signs should also specify when deadly force is authorized for failure to comply with posted warnings (based on the current SOP, orders, ROE, and EOF). 3. Element leader conducts final briefing, after hasty checkpoint is established, and makes notification to higher headquarters (HQ). a. Briefs personnel on key elements of conducting hasty checkpoint operations (prior to putting the CP into operation). (1) Current ROE, EOF, and ROI. (2) Rules regarding search, detention, standoff distances, and the use of force. (3) Actions on contact (mounted and dismounted threats). (4) Procedures for clearing and processing personnel and vehicles through the checkpoint IAW orders and guidance from higher headquarters. (5) Utilizing all available assets and procedures the mission allows to conduct checkpoint operations safely (stand-off distance, obstacles, barriers, warning signs, etc). (6) Searching for high risk and prohibited items (such as weapons, explosives, and contraband). (7) Maintaining security and overwatch support of CP. (8) Ensuring vehicle traffic, movement, and personnel are handled according to current directives and SOP. b. Notifies higher HQ that the hasty checkpoint is established and ready for operations.
36
CUE: This drill begins when the element leader receives the order from higher headquarters and issues the command to the element to immediately establish a hasty checkpoint (CP) at a specified location, or the element leader directs his personnel to conduct this drill. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: a. Resources. Table(s) of organization and equipment (TOE) assigned personnel and equipment, nonlethal capability module (if available). b. Training Site. The training site should provide a roadway where obstacles can be placed to block the travel of approaching traffic. The roadway should be able to accommodate two vehicles (lanes) and large enough to handle one convoy at a time with approximately 35 or more vehicles. c. Unit Instructions. None TALK-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: a. Orientation. The mission objective is to immediately establish a hasty checkpoint. The element leader receives the order from HQ, issues the order to the element, and assigns responsibilities for setup of the checkpoint. Based on the element leader's orders, the element members immediately setup all components of the CP. Finally the element leader briefs the element on the ROE, EOF guidelines, ROI, checkpoint operations, response to hostile actions, and report to HQ that the hasty CP is established. b. Safety. Ensure that security is established and that weapons are on safe or per unit SOP. Ensure safety equipment, garments and gloves are worn during construction of the site. Review unit safety standing operating procedures (SOPs) before conducting this drill. Ensure that safety procedures are prescribed for the use of weapons systems and dismounted vehicles. c. Demonstration (optional). If a nearby unit has successfully completed this drill, have that unit demonstrate it. During the demonstration, explain what is being done and why, using the performance measures as a guide. After the demonstration, summarize what was performed. d. Explanation. Tell the Soldiers everything that is required for this drill, including safety and security. WALK-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: Have the element perform a walk-through exercise (without actually constructing the CP) before performing the drill at full speed. Point out critical actions that must be performed during this drill. Have the Soldiers switch assignments and positions, and practice the procedures for each assignment or position. RUN-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: The Soldiers should practice this drill until they can perform it according to standard without using the drill book. Conduct the initial run-through exercise slowly. The Soldiers should change positions in order to learn all steps COACHING POINT: An element may be required to establish a hasty checkpoint at a moments notice for a specific location. Time is often of the essence. All checkpoints, regardless of type or size (to include a hasty checkpoint), should consist of obstacles or barriers (man-made or natural), search areas for personnel and vehicles, security overwatch, fighting positions, and holding areas. To accomplish this mission (drill) and immediately establish a checkpoint in a short amount of time each element member must be able to perform their assigned duties and be ready to assist other members to complete theirs. It will require a quick and precise individual and team effort while maintaining safety and security requirements. PERFORMANCE: Evaluate the soldiers until they can perform this drill to standard.

CUE: Choose one or more of the following cues to initiate the drill actions: 1. Vehicle is moving alone or as part of a larger force, the driver feels he has lost control of the vehicle and anticipates a rollover. 2. The vehicle operator has driven over a hidden Improvised Explosive Device causing vehicle rollover. 3. Driver has overestimated ability to negotiate a curve resulting in a vehicle rollover. 4. Collision with a friendly (non-hostile) vehicle resulting in vehicle rollover. 5. Collision with hostile vehicle resulting in vehicle rollover while under direct fire. 6. Edge of roadway has collapsed sending vehicle into a rollover into a shallow creek bed/canal. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Conduct a composite risk assessment prior to start of drill to identify risk level and any possible hazards. 2. Ensure proper authority for identified risk level has authorized conduct of drill. 3. Implement risk control measures to mitigate identified risk for this drill.
40
Resources: 1. A vehicle crew consisting (at a minimum) of vehicle operator, gunner, and vehicle commander or assistant vehicle operator. 2. A mission-ready vehicle with combat load 3. Individual weapon for vehicle operator and assistant, crew-served weapon for gunner 4. Communications equipment 5. Individual equipment to include flak vest and Kevlar 6. HEAT Training Device (if available) plus all associated equipment Training Area: Field training area or hard stand for HEAT trainer. Crew Briefings - Unit leadership should capitalize on Soldier experiences as much as possible in determining the best scenarios with which to use for this drill. The resultant crew duties may also vary depending on what situation is played for the crew. Crew size, vehicle type, terrain, hostile or nonhostile environments, and weather all play and important part of the end actions to best suit surviving a vehicle rollover. This outline is not meant to be the only series of actions to be executed for a rollover drill but to generally apply for creating a mind set/skill set for the crew. Final preparations This should include a last check to ensure all vehicle equipment is stowed properly to include securing each item to prevent movement within the vehicle cab. All communications equipment, weaponry and individual gear should be secured so as not to pose an additional threat during drill. Preventive measures are optimally important to a rollover. Preventing a rollover is key to surviving the mission. Supervisor checks: Once all preparations have been made to begin the drill the supervisor present should make a physical inspection of the vehicle area to ensure all personnel are positioned within the vehicle at their assigned locations, and all items of equipment are properly placed and secured to prevent movement during drill. TALK-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: The objective of this drill is to train all crewmembers to survive a vehicle rollover regardless of cause. If the vehicle rolls due to encountering an IED there will be additional variables to consider when egressing the vehicle. If vehicle has hit an IED which initiated rollover chances are that one or more crewmen may be injured or killed. This may cause the injured crewmen to totally rely of the efforts of the other crewmembers to get out of the vehicle. The commander or supervisor may choose any scenario that will fit their unit and upcoming mission requirements. If the vehicle rollover is due to driver error or unexpected adverse terrain, then the chances of each crewman working to egress the vehicle under their own efforts is increased. To this end its important to determine the extent of each person's injuries as soon as possible after vehicle has stopped moving. Crew duties: 1. Assign crew duties to begin determining the steps each person is to perform during and after a rollover. 2. Each crewman should cross-talk their duties to ensure each person understands how their actions will interact with those of the other crewmembers. 3. Attempt to identify any procedure that may not be feasible with a specific vehicle type (i.e. crew capacities, configuration of cab interior, placement of weapons and equipment affecting individual movements within the vehicle) Demonstration: If a trained crew is available that has already performed this drill it may be helpful to have them demonstrate the rollover drill prior to starting with a fresh crew. Summarize any key issues/points/concerns among all participants. WALK-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: Configure the vehicle in preparation for the drill. If the HEAT device is used for this drill ensures that all participants are properly briefed on the operational characteristics of the device before starting. The HEAT device will emulate the configuration of a HMMWV cab. If other vehicles are used for this drill, of course you will not literally be rolling it over for this training but ensuring that all crewmembers are positioned as if they were actually performing their mission using the vehicle and have thus equipped it for combat. Walk step-by-step through all procedures for this drill to ensure everything is clear to everyone as to what is expected.
41
RUN-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: The soldiers should practice this drill until they can perform it according to standard. The initial run-through exercise should be conducted slowly. The soldiers should change positions in order to learn the different steps and standards. Supervisor checks As in the setup phase, the supervisor had the last word to ensure all personnel and equipment are properly prepared to start drill. HEAT Trainer/Operator If HEAT device is used. The HEAT device trainer/operator will initiate movement after properly briefing all participants of device and personnel are ready and positioned for drill. COACHING POINT: A coaching process should be used throughout each time a crew goes through this drill. Key points to improve on are: - Placement of body (bracing) when rollover is imminent - Placement and security of weapons and equipment - Actions when rollover is imminent - Actions during rollover - Actions once vehicle stops moving - Accident reporting - Assessing/treating/evacuating casualties - Securing accident site - Recovery of all sensitive items - Vehicle recovery Critical Decision point -Should the crew in ALL cases strive to immediately egress from the vehicle? If under direct fire it MAY be safer to remain in the vehicle if the vehicle itself does not appear to pose an immediate threat to life and limb (fire or explosion, etc.). In such a case the crew will still work to reorient themselves into a better position to protect self from enemy fire or to return fires. Leadership should pose this dilemma to the unit to better mold internal procedures for such a situation. PERFORMANCE: Performance is evaluated once unit commander or senior controlling authority determines that crew has received adequate training on this drill.
