text: Team Operations
  periods of increased visibility, they establish a clandestine patrol base. During infiltration, the team
  leader records the team's movements in the patrol log. In the log, the team leader records in detail--
  • The general direction of movement.
  • Deviations from planned infiltration route.
  • Information about terrain and weather.
  • Enemy sightings en route.
  • Signs of activity.
  • Grid locations.
  • Any peculiarities.
  • Time of initial entry report.
  EXECUTION (ACTIONS ON OBJECTIVE)
  4-49. The LRS team establishes a security halt and the leader reconnoiters to identify an ORP. After
  the team establishes the ORP, the leader moves out to pinpoint the objective or NAI, then to establish
  surveillance. Once the reconnaissance is complete, other team members move to and establish the
  tentative hide site and to set up communications with the COB or AOB. The surveillance team keeps
  their "eyes on" the objective and maintains continuous communications with the hide site. The
  surveillance site reports ISR tasks to the hide site.
  4-50. If the LRS team cannot establish communications, the team and the LRS COB or AOB execute
  the "no communications" contingency plan (developed during the planning phase).
  4-51. The hide site sends information to the COB or AOB via HF or UHF TACSAT communications.
  Once communications is established, the COB or AOB forwards the information to the BFBS S-2 ISR
  fusion element over a LAN. The R&S squadron is copied on all reports.
  4-52. The LRS team keeps sending reports to the COB or AOB until the team meets the mission
  completion criteria or until the LTIOV. The LRS team reports during designated communication
  windows or, if the report is information answering a PIR, out of those windows. After the team pulls
  back from the objective they disseminate information, collect all surveillance logs and objective
  sketches.
  EXFILTRATION PHASE AND EXTRACTION METHOD
  4-53. This phase starts after the team links up and disseminates information at the ORP and ends
  when the team arrives at the debriefing location. Exfiltration routes normally differ from infiltration
  routes. The team leader (again) keeps a patrol log, which details--
  • The general direction of movement.
  • Deviations from the planned exfiltration route.
  • The terrain and weather.
  • Enemy sightings.
  • Signs of activity.
  • Peculiarities.
  4-54. Extraction method options include--
  • Linkup (friendly or partisan).
  • Air.
  • SPIES.
  • Vehicle.
  • Watercraft.
  • Rollover.
