text: Battle Drills
  The type of breakout drill used depends on the type of site and the number of personnel in the site. Proper
  rehearsals determine the best methods of site construction and the materials needed for a breakout. After
  constructing the site, the team employs M18 Claymores and smoke to assist execution of the drill.
  • Emplace smoke grenades in the ground around the site so they can be activated with a pull cord
  instead of throwing them after clearing overhead cover.
  • Rig Claymores in tandem for one-step activation.
  • Keep equipment packed at all times. Prepare an assault pack with all of the site's
  mission-essential equipment.
  H-22. Upon site completion, the leader visually recons the immediate vicinity and designates covered
  and concealed positions for each team member. The leader designates responsibilities and order of
  movement from the time claymores are detonated. This helps eliminate confusion and increase battle drill
  speed and effectiveness.
  H-23. When compromise is inevitable, the element notifies other team members not in the position of
  the situation. Claymores are rigged to all detonate at one time. Smoke grenades are thrown and each
  Soldier moves to his designated covered and concealed position, and then he lays down a base of fire to
  cover bounding team members. After the breakout, the element links up with the rest of the team or
  continues the mission (Figures H-6A through H-6D, this page through B-11).
