  5. designed for use by foot patrols when contact is made with the
  6. enemy. Contact may be through chance contact, air observation or
  7. attack, or ambush.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Chance contact with the enemy is possible at any time. In case
  8. of emergency, you cannot count on anybody's help. To survive,
  9. everyone must be trained to act automatically and in close
  10. cooperation.</p></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Immediate Action Drills</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>Immediate action drills are drills designed to teach you to
  11. act quickly and decisively in case of visual or physical contact
  12. with the enemy. Your actions should be:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="I"><li class="listitem"><p>Simple in structure and flexible in performance</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Restricted to minimum signals or commands</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Appropriate to the given type of combat unit and the

  14. in-place halt of the patrol. This is the situation when the
  15. patrol detects the enemy but is not it&shy;self detected. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Actions taken:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="I"><li class="listitem"><p>The first man to detect the enemy gives the silent
  16. signal "Freeze!"</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Everyone halts immediately, in-place, weapon at the
  17. ready.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Every man remains motionless and awaits further
  18. orders.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Air Observation Drill</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>This drill reduces the danger of detection and attack by

  20. "Freeze!''</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The patrol leader identifies the aircraft and gives
  21. further commands.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>If attacked, form a line at right angles to the line
  22. of flight. This will make the patrol less
  23. vulnerable.*</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Between attacks, find better cover and
  24. concealment.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Fire at the aircraft only when the patrol leader
  25. orders it.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Chance Contact Drills</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>Hasty ambush:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>This drill is both a self-defense measure used to
  26. avoid contact and an offensive measure used to make
  27. contact. It is often used in conjunction with
  28. (immediately after) the immediate halt drill.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Actions taken:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a"><li class="listitem"><p>The signal "Hasty ambush (right)!" is
  29. given.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The entire patrol moves immediately to the
  30. (right)side.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Everyone quickly finds concealment.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The command to begin the ambush is the
  31. shout"Fire," where upon everyone opens
  32. fire.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The command "Fire" may be given by:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="i"><li class="listitem"><p>The patrol leader when the enemy is most
  33. vulnerable.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Anyone who has been detected by the
  34. enemy.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>A designated individual (for example, the
  35. point or last man) after a certain number of enemy
  36. soldiers have reached or passed him.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Immediate assault:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>This drill is used, defensively, to make and
  37. quickly break unwanted but unavoidable contact and,
  38. offensively, to decisively engage the enemy.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Actions taken:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a"><li class="listitem"><p>Men nearest the enemy open fire and shout
  39. "Contact, front (right, left, rear)."</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The patrol moves quickly into line formation
  40. and assaults.</p><p>(1) When used defensively:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a"><li class="listitem"><p>The assault is stopped if the enemy
  41. withdraws and contact is broken quickly.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>If the enemy stands fast and the assault is
  42. carried through the enemy positions, movement is
  43. continued until contact is completely
  44. broken.</p></li></ol></div><p>(2) When used offensively, the enemy is
  45. aggressively assaulted. The enemy must be totally
  46. destroyed.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p> Counter-ambush Drills</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>Near ambush:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>The killing zone is under heavy fire from close
  47. range. There is little time or space to maneuver or
  48. to seek cover. You must get out quickly or you will
  49. be killed.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>If attacked by a near ambush, react as
  50. follows:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a"><li class="listitem"><p> If in the killing zone, without waiting for
  51. order or signal:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>Assault directly into the ambush
  52. position.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Occupy the ambush position (it is the safest
  53. place to be).</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Continue the attack or break contact, as
  54. directed.</p></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>If not in the killing zone, maneuver against
  55. the attackers as directed.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Continue the attack to eliminate the ambush
  56. or to break contact as directed.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Far ambush:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="I"><li class="listitem"><p>The killing zone is also under heavy fire, but from a
  57. greater range. This provides you some room to maneuver
  58. and some opportunity to find cover at a lesser risk of
  59. destruction.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>If attacked by a far ambush, react as
  60. follows:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a"><li class="listitem"><p> If in the killing zone, without waiting for
  61. order or signal:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>Immediately return fire.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Find cover quickly.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Continue firing until directed
  62. otherwise.</p></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>If not in the killing zone, maneuver against
  63. the ambush force as directed.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Continue the attack to eliminate the ambush
  64. or to break contact as directed.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Use of Immediate Action Drills</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>Some drills may be used safely for a long time (immediate
  65. halt, hasty ambush). Others (immediate assault), if used too
  66. often, could be dangerous. The enemy may detect a pattern and
  67. set a trap for you.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Study your drills. Always try to improve them, and rehearse
  68. them frequently.</p></li></ol></div></li></ol></div><p>
