(U) Demonstrate competent and capable Platoons who are proficient and
confident in both day and night operations (troop leading procedures).
3.a.1.c.
(U) Company assembly area procedures and SOPs are codified and

3.a.1.d.
(U) Company assembly area procedures and SOPs are codified and

3.a.1.e.
(U) Direct and indirect fire control measures are developed and used in
fire planning while conducting sustained field operations.
3.a.1.f.
(U) Occupation of Platoon’s battle position and an opportunity to work
through engagement area development from the BP (with target
presentation).
3.a.2.
3.b.
(U) End State: 1-63 AR Mechanized Infantry Platoons that can see the
enemy first and effectively distribute direct and indirect fires.
(U) Concept of the Operation: We will accomplish this mission in three phases:
planning, execution, and recovery. The decisive operation is the platoons’
execution of the Bradley Table XII LFX. This is decisive because it allows us to
evaluate the platoons’ combat readiness. Operations in the TAC, UMCP and
LOGPACs are the shaping operations.
3.b.1.
(U) Phase I: (Preparation and Occupation: 04JUN12 – 07OCT12): Begins
with a BN level engagement area development OPD with all leaders. This
phase includes Company TLPs, rehearsals and a TRM to Company AAs in
Maneuver Area Q (See Annex C - Appendix 2 - Tab A). Phase I ends when
Companies begin bore sighting procedures.
3.b.2.
(U) Phase II (Execution: 07-10OCT12): Begins with Companies conducting
bore sighting procedures. During this phase Companies will conduct AA
procedures in a tactical environment; Platoons will conduct a LFX, that
includes a Table X (day and night) dryfire and the Table XII (day and night)
LFX that stresses the Platoon’s ability to conduct a movement to contact, call
for fire, hasty defense, hasty offense, react to CBRN, integrate dismounts with
Bradley support, and conduct MOUT. Rehearsals will include at a minimum, a
terrain board rehearsal at the PLT level prior to execution (field environment).
The development of engagement areas will include the use of trigger lines
and TRPs for the control and distribution of direct and indirect fires. After
each TT X and XII day and night iteration there will be an AAR conducted,

audience will be Team Leaders up. This phase ends when the last platoon
qualifies their night Table XII engagement.
3.b.3.
(U) Phase III (Recovery): This phase begins after the last platoon qualifies
their night Table XII engagement. During this phase Companies will clear the
DRC and conduct a TRM from DRC to the washrack where recovery
operations led by Company leadership begin. Washrack will be open from
0900-1530 for two (2) Mechanized Infantry Companies, the UMCP and the
TAC. This phase ends with the completion of a BN AAR with Company
leadership input.
