  Planning Area Facilities and Sites
  The goal of planning with limited access is to allow LRS teams an environment
  without distractions and a reduced risk of mission compromise. Facilities include
  fixed sites (best) or field sites.
  FACILITIES
  C-1. Each LRSU benefits by having access to a secure planning facility. Ideally the facility should
  enough space available to allow planning by the required number of teams to support operations. The
  location and type of facility used depends on availability, security, and deployment requirements--detailed
  planning is the same, regardless. Once the planning facility is established, the teams conduct detailed
  mission planning. Access to the team is limited to such individuals as the team LNO, company commander,
  BFSB and R&S squadron S-2 and others on the access roster. If available, the team rehearses in a secured
  area nearby ideally on terrain similar to the area where they will operate.
  FIXED SITE
  C-2. When available, the unit conducts detailed planning at a fixed site on its home installation.
  The next best option is to use a remote fixed site. The site should offer separate sleeping and planning areas
  (Figure C-1).
  SLEEPING AREAS
  C-3. Each sleeping area has electricity, heating, air conditioning (if possible), cots and showers.
  PLANNING AREAS
  C-4. Each planning area should be large enough for a LRS team to plan the mission (Figure C-2). It
  should have a place where the team can post all mission-essential information, a sand table, separate bins
  for classified and unclassified trash, RFI logs, a time schedule, and an access roster.
  COMBINED PLANNING AND SLEEPING AREAS
  C-5. Due to any number of constraints, the team must be able to adapt to limited space, and be ready to
  live in the planning area.
  FIELD SITE
  C-6. If no fixed site is available, or if the deployment plan dictates, the unit can conduct detailed
  planning at a field site such as an aircraft hanger, a boat(s), or a tent(s) (Figure C-3). Everyone at the
  planning site may be subject to the same restrictions and limitations--leaders, teams, and supporting
  personnel. Each team needs--
  • Separate field tents for planning and sleeping.
  • Electrical source.
  • Latrines.
  • Passive and active security measures such as wire obstacles or guards.
  • Site maintenance support.
  • Communications with the LRSC operations section and with the rehearsal area.
  • Planning aids.
