  CONVERGING-ROUTES METHOD
  4-86. The team leader selects an ORP, reconnaissance routes through the zone, and then a linkup
  point. He sends out a sub element on each route. He normally moves with the center element. The
  subunits normally reconnoiter their routes by using the fan method. The entire team meets at the linkup
  point at the designated time (Figure 4-5).

  SUCCESSIVE-SECTOR METHOD
  4-87. This method is a continuation of the converging-routes method. The team leader selects an
  ORP, a series of reconnaissance routes, and linkup points. The actions of the team from each ORP to
  each linkup point are the same as in the converging-routes method, that is, each linkup point becomes the
  ORP for the next phase. When the team meets, the team leader again designates reconnaissance routes, a
  linkup time, and the next linkup point. This action continues until the team has reconnoitered the entire
  zone (Figure 4-6).
