Five Points in Setting up a Patrol Base

FIVE POINTS TO SET UP A PATROL BASE:

A Patrol Base is used when doing a patrol to provide a secure point as a base of operations for the patrol conducting the work and is established by a larger element.


5 Points to remember when establi...
shing a Patrol Base.


1. You must be able to defend the patrol base from all directions but is it is discovered, your aim is to melt away, not to stand you ground.


2. The position you select to establish your patrol base in must be easy to conceal and off the beaten track.


3.The Patrol Base must be established near a supply of fresh water you can purify to drink. This is essential.


4. The terrain you establish the patrol base in must not interfere with any radio communications your unit is using although you should for the sake of security restrict your use of radio communications to avoid discovery in a high tech environment.


5. The Patrol Base should be established near enough to the objective of your mission to allow your main force to support your Raid, Ambush or Recon patrol.


These are combat arms tricks we used back when but are not only useful for your tactical teams but also for any movement your teams make.
