Tactical Tools (Corporal's Course) question and answers 100% correct
A map is defined as a graphic representation of a portion of the Earth's surface drawn to scale, as seen from above. It uses colors, symbols, and labels t... [Show More] o represent features found on the ground. -The ideal representation would be realized if every feature of the area being mapped could be shown in true shape. -The purpose of a map is to provide information on the existence, location, and distance between ground features, such as populated places and routes of travel and communication. It also indicates variations in terrain, heights of natural features, and the extent of vegetation cover. -All operations conducted require maps; however, the finest maps available are worthless unless the map user knows how to read them. Marginal Information A map is considered equipment. To use it properly, you should read the instructions. These instructions on the outer edges of the map are called marginal information. All maps are different so examine the marginal information on each map carefully. Marginal Information (Top Margin 1-6) The top margin of the map helps you to identify the specific area covered as well as the age and scale of the map. 1 Sheet Name (Top Margin) The sheet name is found in bold print at the center of the top and in the lower left area of the map margin. A map is generally named for the settlement contained within the area covered by the sheet or for the largest natural feature located within the area at the time the map was drawn. 2 Sheet Number (Top Margin) The sheet number is bolded in the upper right and lower left areas of the margin and in the center box of the adjoining sheets diagram, which is found in the lower right margin. It is used as a reference number to link specific maps to overlays, operations orders, and plans. For maps at 1:100,000 scale and larger, sheet numbers are based on an arbitrary system that makes possible the ready orientation of maps at scales of 1:100,000, 1:50,000, and 1:25,000. 3 Series Name (Top Margin) The map series name is found in the same bold print as the sheet number in the upper left corner of the margin. The name given to the series is generally that of a major political subdivision, such as a state within the United States or a European nation. A map series usually includes a group of similar maps at the same scale and on the same sheet lines or format designed to cover a particular geographic area. It may also be a group of maps that serve a common purpose, such as the military city maps. 4 Scale (Top Margin) The scale is found both in the upper left margin after the series name and in the center of the lower margin. The scale note is a representative fraction that gives the ratio of a map distance to the corresponding distance on the Earth's surface. For example, the scale note 1:50,000 indicates that one unit of measure on the map equals 50,000 units of the same measure on the ground. 5 Series Number (Top Margin) The series number is found in both the upper right margin and the lower left margin. It is a sequence reference expressed either as a four-digit numeral (1125) or as a letter, followed by a three- or four-digit numeral (M661; T7110). 6 Edition Number (Top Margin) The edition number is found bolded in the upper right area of the top margin and the lower left area of the bottom margin. Editions are numbered consecutively; therefore, if you have more than one edition, the highest numbered sheet is the most recent. This date is important when determining how accurately the map data might be expected to match what you will encounter on the ground. Marginal Information (Bottom Margin 7-14) This portion of the map includes information that helps to interpret the map. It provides correlation between actual terrain and man-made features and the map's topographic symbols. Some information found in the bottom margin is repeated from the top margin. 7 Boundaries (Bottom Margin) The index to boundaries diagram appears in the lower or right margin of all sheets. This diagram, which is a miniature of the map, shows the boundaries that occur within the map area, such as county lines and state boundaries. 8 Adjoining Sheets (Bottom Margin) Maps at all standard scales contain a diagram that illustrates the adjoining sheets. The diagram usually contains nine rectangles, but the number may vary depending on the locations of the adjoining sheets. All represented sheets are identified by their sheet numbers. Sheets of an adjoining series of the same scale, whether published or planned, are represented by dashed lines. The series number of the adjoining series is indicated along the appropriate side of the division line between the series. 9 Elevation Guide (Bottom Margin) This is normally found in the lower right margin. It is a miniature characterization of the terrain shown. The terrain is represented by bands of elevation, spot elevations, and major drainage features. The elevation guide provides the map reader with a means of rapid recognition of major landforms. 10 Declination Diagram (Bottom Margin) This is located in the lower margin of large-scale maps and indicates the angular relationships of true north, grid north, and magnetic north. On maps at 1:250,000 scale, this information is expressed as a note in the lower margin. In new maps, there is a note indicating the conversion of azimuths from grid to magnetic and from magnetic to grid next to the declination diagram. 11 Bar Scale (Bottom Margin) These are located in the center of the lower margin. They are rulers used to convert map distance to ground distance. Maps have three or more bar scales, each in a different unit of measure. Care should be exercised when using the scales, especially in the selection of the unit of measure that is needed. 12 Contour Interval Note (Bottom Margin) This note is found in the center of the lower margin normally below the bar scales. It states the vertical distance between adjacent contour lines of the map. When supplementary contours are used, the interval is indicated. In new maps, the contour interval is given in meters instead of feet. 13 Legend (Bottom Margin) The legend is located in the lower left margin. It illustrates and identifies the topographic symbols used to depict some of the more prominent features on the map. The symbols are not the same on every map. Always refer to the legend to avoid errors when reading a map. 14 Grid Reference Box (Bottom Margin) Grid Reference Box Colors on a Map By the fifteenth century, most European maps were carefully colored. Profile drawings of mountains and hills were shown in brown. Rivers and lakes were shown in blue. Vegetation was shown in green. Roads were shown in yellow. Special information was shown in red. A look at the legend of a modern map confirms that the use of colors has not changed much over the past several hundred years. To facilitate the identification of features on a map, the topographical and cultural information is usually printed in different colors. Black (Colors on a Map) This color indicates cultural (man-made) features such as buildings and roads, surveyed spot elevations, and all labels. Blue (Colors on a Map) Identifies hydrography or water features such as lakes, swamps, rivers, and drainage. Green (Colors on a Map) This color identifies vegetation with military significance, such as woods, orchards, and vineyards. Reddish-Brown (Colors on a Map) The colors red and brown are combined to identify cultural features such as boundaries and major roads, all relief features, non-surveyed spot elevations, and elevations or contour lines. Types of North True North is a line from any point on the Earth's surface to the North Pole. All lines of longitude converge at the North Pole and are true north lines. A star is used to depict true north. Magnetic North is the direction to the north magnetic pole, as indicated by the north-seeking needle of a magnetic compass. Magnetic readings are used to navigate in the field. A half arrowhead is used to depict magnetic north. Grid North is the north that is established by using the vertical grid lines on the map. Grid north lines are parallel lines on the map; they do not converge at the North Pole. The letters GN are used to depict grid north. Declination Diagram Declination diagram is the angular difference between true north and either magnetic or grid north. There are two declinations: A magnetic declination A grid declination The declination diagram shows the angular relationship, represented by prongs, among these three types of north. [Show Less]

[Show More] e the order Supervise BAMCIS overview The troop leading steps are meant to aid leaders in making tactically sound decisions, formulating plans, coherently communicating those plans, and Turing those decisions into action. The receipt of a mission Triggers the troop leading steps Warning order is An abbreviated set of instructions to inform of an impending action The purpose of the estimate of the situation is to collect and analyze relevant information for developing, within the time limits and available information, the most effective solution to a problem. estimate of the situation normally used in solving tactical problems, it is applicable to other military activities. It's as thorough as time and circumstances permit. estimate of the situation are revised continuously as factors affecting the operation change, as new facts are recognized, as assumptions are replaced by facts or rendered invalid, or as changes to the mission are received or indicated. estimate of the situation Detailed analysis conducted before mission execution will increase the speed and accuracy of decisions as the situation changes at the point of friction. provides a logical sequence for analyzing all relevant factors METT-T analysis METT-T Mission Enemy Terrain and Weather Troops and Fire Support Time, Space and Logistics The first step in the estimate is mission analysis mission analysis is the means for the unit leader to gain an understanding of the mission When doing task analysis The unit leader must identify and understand all that is required for the successful accomplishment of the mission. This includes tasks received in the unit's task statement and coordinating instructions from the higher commander's operations order. Limitations These are restrictions on the freedom of action of the friendly force; these prohibit the commander from doing something specific. Tactical control measures, rules of engagement (ROE), and the statements, "Be prepared to...," "Not earlier than...," "On order...," are some examples of limitations. Enemny analysis is conduted to not only know what assets the enemy has, but also to understand what the enemy is doing. Enemy anaysis questions What is the enemy trying to accomplish? How will the enemy use each available element of combat power? Enemy anaysis input comes from many sources including enemy doctrine, current enemy activities indicated in higher's order, units that have previously operated in the area, and the unit's intelligence section. The information used to analyze the enemy situation includes composition, disposition, and strength capabilities and limitations SALUTE Size Activity Location Unit Time Equiptment SALTUE is used when developing and organizing composistion, disposition, and strength (analyzing the enemy situation) DRAW-D serves as a reminder of the minimum factors to be considered for the enemy analysis of their cpablilties and limitations DRAW-D Defend Reinforce Attack Withdraw Delay When analyzing the enemny's capabilities and limitations you should ask these questions: What can the enemy do? How will the enemy use each available element of combat power? When analyzing the enemny's capabilities and limitations you analyze the enemy's ability or inability to conduct various operations against your unit under any reasonably foreseeable situation. The estimate of the situation of terrain and weather must always be conducted from the friendly and enemy perspectives. Terrain Analysis analyzes the connection between the terrain and tactics while considering the military aspects of terrain. These aspects are identified in the acronym OCOKA. Terrain Analysis OCOKA Observation and Fields of Fire Cover and Concealment Obstacles Key Terrain Avenues of Approach Observation and Fields of Fire-COKA Observation is the ability to see friendly and enemy forces and key aspects of the terrain to judge strength, prevent surprise, and respond to threats. Field of fire is an area with a direct line of sight that weapons may cover/fire upon effectively from a given position. O-Cover and Concealment-OKA Cover is protection against enemy fire, both direct and from shelling. Concealment is protection from enemy observation and surveillance, including features that protect both horizontally and vertically. OC-Obstacles-KA Obstacles are natural or manmade terrain features that prevent, restrict, divert, or delay military movement. OCO-Key Terrain-A Key terrain is any ground that must be controlled to achieve military success. OCOK-Avenues of Approach Avenue of approach is any relatively unobstructed ground route that leads to an objective or key terrain. Weather Analysis is when The leader determines how the weather will affect visibility, mobility, and survivability of friendly and enemy units by considering the military aspects of weather. For visibility The leader identifies conclusions about visibility factors such as light data (begin morning nautical twilight [BMNT], sunrise [SR], sunset [SS], end evening nautical twilight [EENT], moonrise [MR], moonset [MS], and percentage of illumination), fog, and smog, and about battlefield obscurants such as smoke and dust. Winds of sufficient speed can reduce the combat effectiveness of a force as the result of blowing dust, smoke, sand, or precipitation. Windblown sand, dust, rain, or snow can reduce the effectiveness of radar and other communication systems. Strong winds can also limit aviation operations. Precipitation affects soil trafficability, visibility, and the functioning of many electro-optical systems. Cloud Cover affects ground operations by limiting illumination and the solar heating of targets. Heavy cloud cover can degrade many target acquisition systems, infrared-guided munitions, and general aviation operations. Extremes of temperature and humidity reduce personnel and equipment capabilities and may require the use of special shelter or equipment. Civil considerations (human terrain) include the influences of man-made infrastructure; civilian institutions; and the attitudes and activities of civilian leaders, populations, and organizations within an AO, with regard to the conduct of military operations. Areas Key civilian areas are localities or aspects of the terrain within an AO that have significance to the local populace. Analyzing a structure involves determining how its location, functions, and capabilities can support operations. Capabilities can refer to the ability of local authorities—those of the host nation or some other body—to provide a populace with key functions or services. Organizations are nonmilitary groups or institutions in the AO. They influence and interact with the populace and each other. People is a general term describing all nonmilitary personnel that military forces encounter in the AO. This includes those personnel outside the AO whose actions, opinions, or political influence can affect the mission. Events are routine, cyclical, planned, or spontaneous activities that significantly affect organizations, people, and military operations. Troops and Fire Support Avaliable (Estimate of the Situation) Organic Fire and support avaliable Attachments and detachments Higher and adjacent units For organic you identify the capabilities and limitations of the assets your organic unit will bring to bear on the enemy during the conduct of the mission. For fire and support avaliable Identify locations, azimuths of fire, contact information, employment (general support [GS], direct support [DS], or attached [(ATT]), and any priority of fires of indirect fire support agencies. In addition, identify any available air assets. What weapons will they bring to the fight? What are the capabilities of their fires? When and how long are they on station?. For attachments and detachments you identify Assets (if any) that will detach from your unit Units or assets that have been attached to your unit How will this affect your ability to achieve mission success? For higher and adjacent units you identify higher and adjacent units' schemes of maneuver and what influence they will have on your scheme of maneuver. Consider their effect on the following: •Geometries of fire •Reinforcement •Contingency plans Time, space, and logistics (Estimate of the Situation) is the ability to appreciate the aspects and effects of time and space is one of the most important qualities in a leader. A leader must be able to identify resource shortfalls and have a plan to rectify them. Time is A solid understanding of time required versus time available is vital to all operations; it drives planning and execution. The unit leader gets an indication of time available from the commander. •The amount of time a unit has to prepare for an operation determines the plan's level of detail. Reverse planning is the method by which leaders should establish a successful and accurate timeline that will uphold the assigned mission. •Critical times to consider include planning time, time to cross the line of departure (LD), movement time (helo, vehicular, foot-mobile, etc.; both opposed and unopposed rates of movement should be considered), defend-no-later-than time, time to receive higher's order, time to issue your order, time available to prepare and rehearse the attack or defense, and time available for reconnaissance. Space is A leader must know and understand the area of operations (AO). •Identify tactical control measures (TCM) and fire support coordination measures (FSCM) within your AO as applicable. •Consider the geometry of fires and develop a plan to de-conflict converging forces. Logistics is Logistics sustain operations. Without appropriate logistical planning, units will reach their culminating point before ever reaching a decisive point. A leader must be able to identify: •Required resources to accomplish the mission from crossing the LD through consolidation •Critical resource shortfalls •A realistic plan to fulfill shortfalls that is formulated, prioritized, and built into the timeline before departure Technique in the five paragraph order Clarity, simplicity, and timeliness are essentials of an operation order. Clear, concise sentences are most easily understood. •In the interest of simplicity, commanders and leaders at each echelon should closely evaluate and issue only those facts received from higher headquarters that are pertinent to their own subordinate unit leaders. •If possible, the leader issues the order to subordinate leaders from a vantage point overlooking the objective or on the defensive terrain. When this is not possible, they should use a terrain model or sketch. •The order must be issued in a timely fashion, sufficiently in advance of the time of execution to permit subordinate planning. •Oral orders should be delivered in positive, direct, and confident tones using forceful and aggressive language. Technique in the five paragraph order Use of the standard five-paragraph order format: •Promotes clarity and brevity •Presents information and instruction in a logical, easily assimilated manner •Serves as a checklist to help ensure that no important information has been overlooked Supervise in the five paragraph order Supervision is continuous and occurs throughout the entire combat orders process. •The unit leader for that mission is ultimately responsible and accountable for mission accomplishment. •"Inspect what you expect."

Characterization at Discharge •Honorable characterization of service is the highest quality characterization and is appropriate when the quality of the Marine's service has met the standards of accepted conduct and performance of duty for military personnel. Therefore, characterization will be honorable for Marines with an average proficiency mark of 3.0 or higher and average conduct mark of 4.0 or higher. •This is important as a less than honorable characterization may reduce employment opportunities and the benefits received from Veterans Affairs after discharge. •The reference is MCO 1900.16, Separation and Retirement Manual. The purpose of proficiency (pro) and conduct (con) to indicate how proficiently individual Marines performed their primary duties, and how they conducted themselves during the rating period. RESPONSIBILITIES of Noncommissioned Officers The responsibilities of staff noncommissioned officers (SNCOs) and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) include training and supervising Marines in the performance of their duties. This close relationship gives NCOs the ability to record information on a Marine's performance and to evaluate their performance during the reporting period. NCOs' responsibilities include providing a fair and balanced recommendation for pro and con marks to the commander. RESPONSIBILITIES of Commanding Officers he commanding officer establishes unit policies and procedures for recommending and assigning proficiency and conduct marks. Since the commanding officer cannot physically observe all corporals and below on a daily basis, the commander will rely on SNCOs and NCOs to evaluate the performance of their Marines and to submit recommended proficiency and conduct marks. Although the commander should review and consider the recommended marks, the commander has sole responsibility in the assignment of marks for each Marine. The commanding officer is the deciding authority and is responsible for maintaining an equitable proficiency and conduct performance evaluation system for Marines in his/her charge. IRAM provides SNCOs, NCOs, and commanders with the guidance necessary to recommend and assign proficiency and conduct marks. The IRAM establishes guidelines to create consistency in the evaluation process, measuring specific factors expected of all Marines OCCASIONS THAT REQUIRE MARKS -Temporary disability retired list -discharge -Promotion to Cpl or Sgt -Reduction -Desertion -TAD complete -PCS -Service school completion -Semi-anual -annual (R) -AT (R) -Recommended -Active Duty Special work (R) ATTRIBUTES OF PROFICIENCY Mission Accomplishment Intellect and Wisdom Leadership Individual Character Physical Fitness Personal Appearance Completion of PME, MarineNet courses, and off-duty education ATTRIBUTES OF CONDUCT -General Bearing -Attitude -Interest -Reliability -Courtesy -Cooperation -Obedience -Adaptability -Influence on Others -Moral Fitness -Physical Fitness as Affected by Clean and Temperate Habits -Participation in Unit Activities Not Related to the Unit Mission objectives of the promotion system •To maintain the needed strength in each grade and MOS •To ensure all eligible Marines receive an equitable opportunity to compete for promotion •To ensure that only the best and fully qualified Marines are promoted Regular For Marines who meet the promotion eligibility requirements to include the minimum time-in-grade and time-in-service Meritorious For Marines who are exceptionally well-qualified and have demonstrated outstanding leadership and performance (there is no minimum time-in-grade for meritorious promotions) PROMOTION SYSTEM The enlisted promotion system provides a process whereby Marines within each grade and MOS/occupational field compete among themselves for promotion to the next higher grade. The basic goal of the system is to advance the best qualified Marines to higher grades so MOS vacancies in the enlisted structure will be continuously occupied by Marines who are fully qualified to perform the duties and to assume the responsibilities of the next higher grade. REGULAR PROMOTION TO THE GRADES OF PRIVATE FIRST CLASS THROUGH SERGEANT •Ensure that all enlisted Marines who are to be promoted to the next higher grade meet the Marine Corps standards of professionalism, personal performance, and leadership. •Ensure that a Marine is not promoted unless the individual can be expected to assume the responsibilities and perform the duties of that grade in a creditable and satisfactory manner. •Ensure that fully qualified and deserving Marines are expeditiously promoted on the date directed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC). PROMOTION TO PRIVATE FIRST CLASS Marines who have served for six months on active duty in the grade of private (Pvt) may be promoted to private first class (PFC) if the Marine's service has been satisfactory (as determined by the commander).
