Here are several formations for a fireteam. The bottom right panel depicts the file this is one of the fastest but least protected formations.

Bottom mid shows the wedge, and the echelon mirrors the wedge, these both offer the most security and control for the fire team leader to deploy his men as he sees fit

Bottom left depicts the diamond this formation has good akl around security and is often used in urban environments.

Here you can see overlapping sectors of fire, the sectors of fire overlap fir security but the 15/40 rule applies here. (15degrees off of friends bipod/tripod, 40degrees for free weapons)

When patrolling in a wedge the #4 man checks the rear security.

Ill stop here for now till i get some feedback

I have some instructions on tracking in the African bush I’ll post

But is that something you can actually discuss

Thats kinda what im going for here not just a flow of information but useable shit to the un informed.

Next thing up is a breakdown of bounding and stuff (think heat)

The RHODIE shit is outdated bullshit

Like don't get me wrong. It was highspeed in the day, but outdated now

It's okay, it'll be relevant again very soon

I gotta at least get through basic troop manuvering. Once we get past how to move we branch out as long as its relevant.

Ill teach classes on clearing rooms/bldgs, patrolling, patrol bases, op/ hides.

It’s not rhodie it’s SADF and it’s useful tracking skills not really tactics

Stay focused class discuss the material provided.

Ok sure thing

Does anyone have questions on the formations?

Also know that terrain can affect these

As well as mettc
Mission enemy time terrain civilian consideration

What formation is suggested for patrolling mountains such as the Appalachians

Prob file

Just make sure yall have a 10m spacing and noone is perfectly on line

This is what I’m talking ab

I kinda have no idea what im lookinnat

I took this it’s a 45 min climb to the bottom

Looks like mars rover took the photo

Terrain

It’s a chirt pit I see as the perfect strongpoint

Clear on all sides for ab 200m

Be a great place for machineguns that 200m means noone is running up on ya too quick

But unless you have like 30 dudes and support its bad

Lemme grab some google earth imagines images to show u the scale I understand there is a manpower problem

Thats why most of what ima go iver will be at the team level

Low intensity warfare right

Like maybe if your men were really proficient yoy could be 2 2 man teams but otherwise having 3dudes under 1 competent guy is best

I see
