text: Hide and Surveillance Sites
  DISADVANTAGES OF SUBSURFACE SITES
  • Concealment of leftover soil away from the site.
  • Construction noise.
  • Construction resources (time, manpower, materials, and equipment).
  USE OF EXISTING SITES
  G-11. Look for and use depressions or predug holes, such as former fighting positions, and improve
  them as the situation allows. During heavy rains, do not use streams and waterways as they could flood.
  CONCEALMENT
  G-12. To conceal the site, use yeti nets, man-made and natural camouflage, or chicken wire.
  COVER
  G-13. Build a barricade to provide shelter.
  STOCKAGE
  G-14. Stock it with rations, water, ammunitions, batteries, and so on, and arrange equipment, such as
  rucksacks and communications equipment, so it can be grabbed in an emergency.
  STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURE
  G-15. Have an SOP for exiting the site. If the team conducts surveillance from the site, then how the
  team leaves the site depends on the location of the enemy objective (Figure G-4). The team should also
  prepare a deception plan to cover exiting by the secondary (emergency) exit, in case the enemy finds the
  primary entrance.
