This policy is in effect now. It applies to all Infantry units either engaged in, or training for, operations worldwide. Current US policy allows the use of non-self-destructing antipersonnel land mines only along internationally recognized national borders or in established demilitarized zones, specifically for the defense of Korea. Such mines must be within an area having a clearly marked perimeter. They must be monitored by military personnel and protected by adequate means to ensure the exclusion of civilians. US national policy also forbids US forces from using standard or improvised explosive devices as booby traps. Except for units in Korea or units going there for a designated exercise, this policy specifically forbids all training on or actual employment of inert M14 and M16 antipersonnel land mines either at the unit's home station or at a Combat Training Center except in the context of countermine or de-mining training. No training with live M14 mines is authorized, and training with live M16 mines is authorized only for soldiers actually on Korean soil. This policy does not affect the standard use of antivehicular mines. It does not affect training and use of the M18 Claymore mine in the command detonated mode. For the immediate future, units may still use self-destructing antipersonnel mines, such as the ADAM, when authorized by the appropriate commander. Under proper command authority, units may still emplace mixed minefields containing self-destructing antipersonnel land mines used to protect antivehicular land mines, for example, MOPMS or Volcano. Users of this manual should consider all references to antipersonnel mines and the employment of minefields in the light of the national policy limiting the use of non-self-destructing antipersonnel land mines. http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/7-8/landmines.htm (1 of 2) [1/9/2002 9:34:38 AM] US NATIONAL POLICY Readers should not construe any uses of the terms mines, antipersonnel obstacle, protective minefield, or minefield contained in this manual to mean an obstacle that contains non-self- destructing antipersonnel land mines, or booby traps. http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/7-8/landmines.htm (2 of 2) [1/9/2002 9:34:38 AM] http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/7-8/change1.htm RDL Table of Document Download Homepage Contents Information Instructions C1, FM 7-8 Change 1 Headquarters Department of the Army Washington, DC, 1 March 2001 Change FM 7-8, dated 22 April 1992, as follows: 1.

The procedures apply unless a leader makes a decision to deviate from them based on the factors of METT-TC. In such a case, the exception applies only to the particular situation for which the leader made the decision.

    UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS THE BASIC SCHOOL MARINE CORPS TRAINING COMMAND CAMP BARRETT, VIRGINIA 22134-5019 INTRODUCTION TO RIFLE PLATOON OPERATIONS B3J3638 Basic Officer Course B3J3638 Introduction to the Rifle Platoon Introduction to Rifle Platoon Operations Introduction The Marine Corps’ warfighting philosophy of maneuver warfare is rooted in the principles of war. The principles of war are useful aids to a commander as he considers how to accommodate his mission regardless of whether it is offensive or defensive in nature. The fundamentals and concepts that relate to the operations of the rifle platoon will be introduced in this class beginning with the offense and then transitioning to the defense. These nine principles apply across the range of military operations including those at the tactical level. They are listed under the age-old acronym, “MOOSEMUSS” (MCDP 1-0 Marine Corps Operations): Mass: Concentrate the effects of combat power at the decisive place and time to achieve decisive results Objective: Direct every military operation toward a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective Offensive: Seize, retain, and exploit the initiative Security: Never permit the enemy to acquire an unexpected advantage Economy of Force: Allocate minimum essential combat power to secondary efforts Maneuver: Place the enemy in a disadvantageous position through the flexible application of combat power Unity of Command: For every objective, ensure unity of effort under one responsible commander Surprise: Strike the enemy at a time or place or in a manner for which he is unprepared Simplicity: Prepare clear, uncomplicated plans and clear, concise orders to ensure thorough understanding Importance This lesson will introduce rifle platoon fundamentals, task-organization, and offensive/defensive concepts that will establish a foundation for tactical thought at the platoon level.

  • The Squad Leader Makes the Difference
    The Squad Leader Makes the Difference Readings on Combat at the Squad Level Volume I Lieutenant M.M. Obalde and Lieutenant A.M. Otero United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 August 1998 1 United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 May 1998 FOREWORD In combat, the actions of individual leaders affect the outcome of the entire battle. Squad leaders make decisions and take actions which can affect the operational and strategic levels of war. Well-trained squad leaders play an important role as combat decisionmakers on the battlefield. Leaders who show initiative, judgment, and courage will achieve decisive results not only at the squad level, but in the broader context of the battle. Without competent squad leaders, capable of carrying out a commander’s intent, even the best plans are doomed to failure. This publication illustrates how bold, imaginative squad leaders impact the outcome of a battle or campaign. The historical examples here represent some of the cases in which squad leaders were able to change the course of history. In each case, the squad leader had to make a quick decision without direct orders, act independently, and accept responsibility for the results. Short lessons are presented at the end of each story. These lessons should help you realize how important your decisions are to your Marines and your commander. In combat, you must think beyond the squad level. You must develop opportunities for your commander to exploit. Your every action must support your commander’s intent.
