In progress: Tactical Mission Graphics and Echelon




Attack by Fire Position - A position that designates the general position from which a unit
conducts the tactical mission task of attack by fire.

Block - A tactical mission task that denies the enemy access to an area or prevents his advance in a direction or along an avenue of approach.
2. An obstacle effect that integrates fire planning and obstacle effort to stop an attacker along a specific avenue of approach or to prevent him from passing through an engagement area.

Contact Point - In land warfare, a point on the terrain, easily identifiable,
where two or more ground units are required to make physical contact;
In air operations, the position at which a mission leader makes radio contact with an air control
agency;
In evasion and recovery operations, a location where an evader can establish contact with friendly forces.

Communications Checkpoint (CCP) - An air control point that requires serial leaders to report either to the aviation mission commander or the terminal control facility.

Counterattack (CATK) - Attack by part or all of a defending force against an enemy attacking force, for such specific purposes as regaining ground lost, or cutting off or destroying enemy advance units, and with the general objective of denying to the enemy the attainment of the enemy’s purpose in attacking. In sustained defensive operations, it is undertaken to restore the battle position and is directed at limited objectives.

Counterattack By Fire

Destroy - A tactical mission task that physically renders an enemy force combat-ineffective until it is reconstituted. 2. To damage a combat system so badly that it cannot perform any function or be restored to a usable condition without being entirely rebuilt.

Drop Zone - A specific area upon which airborne troops, equipment, or supplies are airdropped.

Extraction Zone - A specified drop zone used for the delivery of supplies and/or equipment by means of an extraction technique from an aircraft flying very close to the ground.

Engineer Regulating Point - Checkpoint to ensure that vehicles do not exceed the capacity of the crossing means and to give drivers final instructions on site-specific procedures and information, such as speed and vehicle interval.

Fire Support Station - An exact location at sea within a fire support area from which a fire support ship delivers fire.

Fix - A tactical mission task where a commander prevents the enemy from moving any part of his force from a specific location for a specific period of time.
2. An engineer obstacle effect that focuses fire planning and obstacle effort to slow an attacker’s movement within a specified area, normally an engagement area.

Forming Up Position - The position from which the march begins.

Friendly Ground Axis of Shaping Operations - direction of attack of support forces.

Friendly Ground Axis of Decisive Operations - direction of attack of main forces.

Linkup Point - A point where two infiltrating elements in the same or different infiltration lanes are scheduled to meet to consolidate before proceeding with their missions.

Landing zone - Any specified zone used for the landing of aircraft.

Neutralize - As applies to military operations, to render ineffective or unusable.
2. To render enemy personnel or material incapable of interfering with a particular operation.
3. To render safe mines, bombs, missiles, and booby traps.
4. To make harmless anything contaminated with a chemical agent.

Observation Post (OP) - A position from which military observations are made, or fire directed and adjusted, and which possesses appropriate communications;

Passage Point - A specifically designated place where the passing units will pass through the stationary unit.

Pickup Zone - A geographic area used to pick up troops or equipment by helicopter.

Penetration - A form of maneuver in which an attacking force seeks to rupture enemy defenses on a narrow front to disrupt the defensive system.

Rally Point - An easily identifiable point on the ground at which units can reassemble and reorganize if they become dispersed.

Release Point - A well-defined point on a route at which the elements composing a column return under the authority of their respective commanders, each one of these elements continuing its movement toward its own appropriate destination. (Army) A location on a route where marching elements are released from centralized control.

Start Point - A well defined point on a route at which a movement of vehicles begins to be under the control of the commander of this movement. It is at this point that the column is formed by the successive passing, at an appointed time, of each of the elements composing the column. In addition to the principal start point of a column there may be secondary start points for its different elements. A location on the route where the marching element fallsunder the control of a designated march commander.

Support by Fire Position – A tactical mission task in which a maneuver force moves to a position where it can engage the enemy by direct fire in support of another maneuvering force.

Way Point - A designated point or series of points loaded and stored in a global positioning system or other electronic navigational aid system to facilitate movement.
