                      COMMAND AND CONTROL - 1

TOPIC:   Engagement Areas in Open Terrain

DISC\3SSION:

The control of direct fire is difficult in open terrain due to
the lack of identifiable terrain features upon which to orient
engagement areas.

LESSON(S) LEARNED:

In the absence of identifiable terrain, target reference points
(TRPs) can be created with damaged/destroyed vehicles that are
moved into reguired locations.   Other types of markers such as IR
strobes, IR chemlights, air panels, and WP/illum rounds could
also be used.
