MANEUVE R
TOPIC: Driver's training classes.
OBSERVATION: Give driver training classes on bow to drive
in the sand it's not as easy as you think - the sand varies
from chalk powder to rock gravel. It is an absolute necessity
to deflate tires when driving in loose sand.
VIEWER NOTES:
TOPIC: Maneuvering in the desert.
OBSERVATION:
- Terrain requires wide dispersion. Takes much longer to
fire and maneuver on contact.
- Terrain is seldom completely flat. Cover and
concealment is available from direct fire.
- Dismounted movement is best concealed during limited
visibility. Movement is extraordinarily visible during
daylight.
- Difficult to mass supporting fires in excess of
m in limited visibility.
- Night observation devices very effective on raid
maneuvers.
- More 1:5~,~~O maps are needed. Barely enough to get
down to company or battery level.
- TOWs must be massed to make a difference.
- Except for security for raids, Infantry without
transportation is of little vaije.
- Day land navigation in the desert Is hard; night land
navigation is extremely difficult.
