ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Basic Movement Fundamentals
Open areas such as streets, alleys, and parks, should be avoided. They are natural kill zones for enemy crew-served weapons or snipers
Smoke can be used to obscure movement and does not degrade thermal capabilities
Always conduct a visual reconnaissance before moving to next position that provides the best cover and concealment
Develop a plan for movement that incorporates the shortest distance and best route

4. Movement Parallel to buildings
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Movement Parallel to buildings
Maintain 12” from wall to avoid ricochets
Stay in shadows
Maintain a low silhouette
Move rapidly to next position

5. ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Movement Past Windows
Avoid exposing your head in a first floor window and be aware of basement windows
Step or Jump over basement windows to avoid detection by the enemy

8. Movement Around Corners
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Movement Around Corners
The most common mistake a soldier makes at a corner is allowing his weapon to extend beyond the corner exposing his position (this mistake is known as flagging your weapon)
The Soldier should show his head below the height an enemy soldier would expect to see it. The soldier lies flat on the ground and does not extend his weapon beyond the corner

Movement Around Corners
Another corner clearing technique that is used when speed is required is the pie-ing method. This procedure is done by aiming the weapon beyond the corner into the direction of travel (without flagging) and side-stepping around the corner in a circular fashion with the muzzle as the pivot point

Crossing A Wall
Roll over the wall quickly, keeping a low silhouette. Speed of movement and a low silhouette deny the enemy a good target

13. Movement Between Positions
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Movement Between Positions
When moving from position to position, each soldier must be careful not to mask his supporting fires
Be prepared to cover the movement of other members of his fire team or squad

14. ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Firing From Cover
The correct technique for firing from a covered position is to fire around the side of the cover, which reduces exposure to the enemy
Another common error is for a right-handed shooter to fire from the right shoulder around the left corner of a building
Right-handed and left-handed soldiers should be trained to adapt cover and concealment to fit their manual orientation. Soldiers should be able to fire from the opposite shoulder

ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Crossing Alleys 4 Man Stack
When alleys must be crossed, the lead man of the team breaks the corner in a standing position and takes any threat encountered under fire to eliminate it. If the #2 man doesn’t hear any fire, he ducks past the #1 man into the alley, followed by the rest of the team members who cross the alley quickly to minimize their exposure to hostile fire. The last man to cross the alley will say
“Last man.” The #1 man then assumes his position in the rear of the stack.

BOUT Bounding Over watch in Urban Terrain
Remember BOUT! It is always preferred to have another element in over watch. Elements such as tanks BFVs crew-served weapons/snipers provide long security. Other elements such as fire teams/squads/platoons can provide close security.

The #1 man and #2 man are moving abreast with interlocking sectors of fire. The #1 man and #2 man should not be the M249 SAW gunner. It is not a good idea to have an open bolt weapon in the lead because of the probability of a jam and
the time required to work through it. The team leader is the #3 man. He controls the speed of the team. His sector of fire is straightforward. It is important that his muzzle is forward of the #1 and #2 man. The #4 man is responsible for rear security.

Clearing hallways is just like clearing a trench and the same technique applies to clearing corners or intersections within the building.
Throw a M67, fragmentation grenade around the corner if there are no noncombatants intermingled with the enemy , rules of engagement (ROE) allow, and the building structure is sufficiently stable.

Movement on Stairways

65. It normally takes several teams to clear stairwells.
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
It normally takes several teams to clear stairwells.
Teams should be rotated to give soldiers a slight physical and mental “breather.” Soldiers may keep their weapons at the low carry at times to relax their shoulders from time to time.
Shooting drills train how to bring a weapon up from the low carry.
If leaders expect their soldiers to carry their weapons at the high carry for long periods of time the soldiers will be physically exhausted.
It will also rapidly degrade effective target engagement.

Open Stairways

67. The team leader organizes the order of movement.
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Clearing up a stairwell is the least preferred means of gaining access to upper floors. It is used only when other options are not feasible.
The team enters, dominates, eliminates the enemy threat, controls any noncombatants, and clears and secures the hallway(s). The clearing team establishes and maintains 360-degree and vertical security and minimizes unnecessary exposure to possible threat fires.
The team leader organizes the order of movement.
The team leader maneuvers the team up or down a stairwell, maintains control with 360-degree security, and eliminates the threat.
It is essential the team leader maintain momentum of the assault but not move faster than his soldiers can accurately engage targets.
The use of fragmentary grenades going up the stairwell is extremely dangerous to the team.

ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
The #1 man pulls security on the highest point he can see and engage
The #2 man moves backwards up the stairs on the inside with the #3 man to a point he can see and engage the next landing. From there he turns around and continues to move up to the next landing.
The #3 man moves up the stairs on the outside with the #2 man and engages the threat on the immediate landing.

73. Most stairwells will require a second team.
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
The #4 man moves up the stairs with the #1 man. The #2 man turns around to engage the next landing.
The flow continues with the #2 man picking up the sector the #1 man had before. The #3 man picks up where the #2 man was. The #4 man picks up where the #3 man was. The #1 man picks up where the #4 man was.
Most stairwells will require a second team.
The plan should be flexible enough to allow the first fighting element moving upward that finds an unsecured/unobserved/under defended stairwell to immediately take advantage of this opportunity. Fighting uphill is tough and is made worse when channeled by stairway walls.

In this technique the #1 and #4 man post themselves at the base of the stairwell on the inside. The #1 man can clears a portion of the landing from his position then pulls security on the highest point possible. The #4 man pulls rear security.
The #2 man and #3 man will be the two-man team that clears up to the next landing.
The #2 man leads with the #3 man at his shoulder. The #2 man needs to get to his point of domination.

ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
Once the landing has been cleared and the #2 man has cleared part of the next landing, pulling security on the highest point, the #3 man turns around and pulls rear security.
The #1 and #4 man then move up the stairs. They will clear the next landing.
The #1 man assumes the role previously held by #2 man and the #4 man assumes the role previously held by the #3 man.
This cycle is continued over and over.

Urban Patrolling

87. ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
1. General. The following basic patrolling principles and techniques apply to permissive and uncertain urban environments:
Overt presence (attempt to establish a positive U.S. presence and the support of the population).
Depth (urbanized terrain usually limits a patrol’s ability to disperse laterally and to maintain dispersion along the length of the patrol formation).
Mutual support (positioning of units within the patrol in depth enables one unit to cover another’s movement [traveling security]).
Deception/pattern avoidance (vary patrol routes, duration, and departure times).
Intrapatrol communications (each unit within an urban patrol should have the means to communicate).
Establishment of a reaction force).
Three-dimensional threat (pay constant attention to the three-dimensional urban environment).

88. ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)

Urban Patrol Tips

92. 1. Movement Considerations.
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
1. Movement Considerations.
a. Move within the patrol under observation/cover of other individuals.
b. Know where cover can be in case of a hostile incident.
c. Plan for contact with civilians, especially children.
d. Expect the presence of moving and stationary vehicles along the route.
e. Have a plan to deal with approaching dogs.
f. Limit the use of camouflage to avoid frightening and confusing the local population.
g. Vary the movement rate during the day, which can range from short halts to brief double time.
h. Take up mutually supporting firing positions that change frequently during short halts.
i. Work in pairs, ensuring mutual support.

93. 2. Patrol formation Considerations
ENCL C, Tab C (URBAN OPERATIONS TRAINING AND LFX) TO APPENDIX 4 TO ANNEX C (OPERATIONS) TO DEPORD (OPERATION DRAWN SABERS)
