  and one in an ammunition can positioned in the vehicle (contingency). The ammunition can in the vehicle
  should contain all contingency ammunition for the crew. Position basic signaling ammunitions near the
  navigator’s position. These would include colored smoke and colored star clusters to aid in identification.
  5-117. Plan for maintenance and repair contingencies based on the mission, the terrain and weather in the
  AO, mission duration, and maintenance experience. A detachment normally carries one general mechanic’s
  toolbox, with metric supplement. In addition, each vehicle carries its own operator vehicle maintenance set
  and a small supply of motor oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid for basic maintenance needs.
  5-118. For long duration missions, a trailer towed by a second and third vehicle can carry additional
  maintenance supplies. Each vehicle should also carry one complete replacement set of fluids, including
  motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze. Each vehicle should also carry basic spare parts
  such as fan belts, upper and lower radiator hoses, and main fuel tank drain plugs. Construct a battle-
  damage repair kit with such items as a tire plug kit, automotive liquid metal, assorted hose clamps, and
  radiator repair kit (FM 4-30.31).
  5-119. On long-duration missions requiring trailer usage, construct an additional spare parts box to carry
  such items as starter, alternator, half shafts, glow plugs, and battery. The team will normally carry enough
  POL and replacement parts to repair any maintenance problem in the field within their capability. Once
  everything is packed and ready for deployment, strap down and secure all equipment and supplies. All
  equipment must be tied down securely for cross-country driving.
  Operational Employment
  5-120. The success of the mission and survival of the LRS team lies in its ability to infiltrate, move,
  conduct operations, and exfiltrate--all without being detected. In mounted operations, survival depends on
  moving mostly during times of limited visibility and using proper camouflage techniques at all other times.
  Infiltration and Exfiltration
  5-121. The threat to each method of infiltration and exfiltration is different. The following paragraphs
  illustrate typical threats to a mounted team when infiltrating by air or by ground.
  Air infiltration and Exfiltration
  5-122. Mounted LRS teams infiltrating and exfiltrating by air must avoid an extensive and integrated
  enemy air defense system. Such a system provides complete coverage at all altitudes with a high
  redundancy of coverage in heavily defended areas. Soviet doctrine, currently used by many nations, has
  tried to improve low-altitude detection.
  Ground Infiltration and Exfiltration
  5-123. Mounted LRS teams infiltrating and exfiltrating by land must avoid security forces. These forces
  employ sensors, minefields, barriers, patrols, checkpoints, and other populace control measures to detect
  clandestine movement across closed borders. Once the mounted team crosses the border, it still faces rear
  area security threats.
  Planning Considerations
  5-124. The following paragraphs address the planning considerations for air and ground infiltration:
  Air Infiltration
  5-125. The mounted LRS team can use several platforms to infiltrate its mission area.
