Initial Contact. See Note 1 Assault. See Note 2 Volume of Fire Volume versus Accuracy Dynamics of Firing Effectiveness Accuracy of Fire Note 1: Leaders control the rate and distribution of fires. After the initial contact of fire with low accuracy, leaders gain control of the fires and increase accuracy while decreasing volume. Note 2: Increase volume just before assault.

Figure 1A-4 (Movement Techniques) The individual Movement Technique is used when enemy fire is effective. Fire is effective when the incoming rounds have both great volume and accuracy; thereby effectively suppressing your ability to conduct fire and movement. The order for movement for IMT is: 1 man, 3 man, 2 man, 4 man UP!1 DOWN! UP! UP!2 DOWN!4 UP!4 DOWN! The buddy team movement technique is used when enemy fire is moderate. Fire is moderate when incoming fires have either low accuracy and high volume or moderate accuracy and low volume UP! 1 DOWN!2 UP! 3 DOWN! 2 DOWN!

Isolate: Deny the enemy the ability to reinforce or withdraw from a portion of the objective by focusing fires on elements that can influence the assault. Isolating the objective allows us to “eat one small piece of the pie” at a time when we are ready. Suppress: Focused fires on the objective that we want to assault. Reduce: Reduction is the actual assault to take a specific objective. -Apply to any situation. Break the big objective into very small pieces and defeat one piece at a time. This allows you to gain favorable combat power ratios. a. Breaching Obstacles:Suppress Obscure Secure Reduce b. AggressivenessSet the proper conditions Initiativebut (Isolate, Suppress, Reduce) Act Faster than the Enemy c. Basic Fire and Maneuver:
