"Patrols are missions to gather information or to conduct combat operations. Infantry platoons and squads conduct three types of patrols: reconnaissance, combat and tracking. This chapter describes the planning considerations used in preparation for patrols, conduct of patrols, and establishment of and actions taken in a patrol base." The files located in this section are designed to be a graphic illustration of how patrolling missions are conducted. Patrol base operations are also addressed in the Nighthawk Patrolling file. |  |
