  HIDE SITE
  4-93. The team should test communications from the tentative site before they start constructing it.
  Otherwise, they might have to start over with a new site.
  SURVEILLANCE SITE
  4-94. The leader selects each site based on the quality of its observation and communications with the
  other site. To determine if the planned surveillance site (Figure 4-7) will work well for surveillance, the
  team places all optics at the same levels they will use when they actually occupy the site, such as at
  ground level. Seldom do circumstances allow for rebuilding of sites. Finally, try to minimize digging
  signatures (sound and dust).

  OCCUPATION
  4-95. Teams maintain security at all time. Security personnel must emplace far enough out to detect
  intruders, but must remain close enough to alert the team. A technique to alert the site of an intruder is to
  simply tug on a cord tied from the security position to a Soldier at the site.
  4-96. The team should maintain all-round security, and pay close attention to the most likely avenues
  of approach. Each site needs all-round observation and a view of anyone or anything in the area. This
  helps prevent compromise, as it allows team members to detect movement and gives them the advantage
  if they must break out of the site.
  4-97. Appendix H discusses how to construct hide and surveillance sites. In most cases, the team
  should only work on a surveillance site in limited visibility, but they can work on a hide site during the
  day, if needed. Generally, the team must camouflage all sites well enough to escape detection from
  greater than 10 meters. The sites should blend well with the surrounding terrain in texture and form.
  4-98. The LRS team prepares and rehearses a complete breakout plan. Team members prepare
  equipment for executing a breakout drill immediately. Pre-positioned M18 Claymore mines and smoke
  grenades can facilitate a quick breakout of the site.
  SECURITY AND REPORTS
  4-99. The team prepares and sends reports during actions on the objective from on the start of
  observation activities until the dissemination of information. The reports the team members at each site
  must make depend on that site's specific tasking.
