aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of their own areas whenever possible. c. Aerial reconnaissance requirements not within a unit's
capability are submitted as TARABS requests to the G-2 Air. These requests may be either preplanned or immediate depending on the urgency of the mission. (1) Preplanned Requests: (a) Preplanned requests are submitted to meet an-
ticipated requirements for aerial surveillance or reconnaissance missions to collect needed intelligence information. (b) Requests for preplanned aerial reconnaissance
will be submitted to the G-2 Air, through channels, by the most expeditious means, by 1400 hours the day prior to the mission, (i.e., a preplanned mission scheduled for 1300 hours 2 July will be submitted by 1400 hours 1 July).

evaluate it as to TOT (Time on Target), type sensor to be employed, area to be covered, and desired product. If the G-2
Air makes any changes to the original request, the requesting unit will be notified and a reason will be given for the changes. (e) The G-2 Air further consolidates as many re-
quests as possible into single missions to avoid duplication and to conserve available sorties. (2) Immediate Requests: (a) Immediate requests are submitted to meet un-
forseen requirements for intelligence of immediate tactival value. (b) Requests for immediate aerial reconnaissance
can be submitted anytime, over the Air Force Air Request Net directly to the Direct Air Support Center (DASC). The request should
be submitted at least 30 minutes prior to desired TOT. (c) Requests are submitted using the format in
USTRICOM FORM 103, January 1968, (Joint Tactical Air Reconnaissance! Surveillance Request), (See Appendix 4, B-4-9 ). In submitting
the request, only the paragraph identifying letters and pertinent data need be transmitted, (i.e., Paragraph 2, H).

communications will be installed between VHF, switchboard, patch panel and other communications-electronics installation and may be used for distribution within the CP proper. Power cable for
electrical requirements will be installed between generators and van utilizing power. These 2 types of cable should remain
separated a minimum of 3 feet. (2) Installation. (a) Cable installed within a OP or congested area
will be buried a minimum of 8 inches or routed overhead in order to clear vehicles when crossing roads. (b) Twenty-four percent slack will be allowed Cables will be tied down at critical points.

other TFSB's will be supplied from the nearest practical source on the basis of 3 gallons per man per day. o. 105mm Positions: the 105mm howitzer parapets will be Sleeping bunkers for the

Establishing Control: (1) Overall Control: In order to have maximum efficiency, The infantry battalion
executive officer is an ideal choice to be in charge of the construction phase of the TFSB. He will coordinate his own battalion staff are
plus supporting units, and will 4nsure that his subordinates thoroughly familiar with the plan. (2) Air Traffic Control: The siporting

location will be part of the team that goes into the new TFSB. This is added insurance that loads are placed where they are
1-1-6

wanted on the new TFSB. (3) Combat Assauxlzt and Initial Clearing: Engineers When the
selected area is heavily forested or overgrown so that the aircraft cannot land, engineer troops will rappel into the area with chainsaws and demolitions and clear an LZ large enough to introduce a CH-54. If the LZ is already reasonably clear,
engineer troops will land and begin expanding the LZ. g. Immediate Tactical Construction: (1) The first engineer equipment brought into the LZ
will be a Case 4+50 bulldozer to be used to clear fields of fire and to prepare the howitzer positions. Next, the Caterpillar
D-5 bulldozer will arrive, be assembled, and begin pushing up the perimeter berm. Finally, the International Harvester 3444 backhoe.
will arrive and begin to dig emplacements for the TOC, FDC, medical bunker and the perimeter bunkers. Maximum use should

engineer troops and equipment will assist the tactical commander in the dismantling of the TFSB. Structures will be dismantled
in such a way as to salvage the maximum amount of material, especially, conex conatiners, NMPPAS, culvert and 1-18A1 matting.
\Holes will be filled in and berms leveled as desired by the tactical commander.
6. Logistics:
The following steps will be taken to insure that materials arrive at the new fire support base in the proper order at the specified a. time: Once the construction
priorities are established by the tactical commander, this technique will be used in logistics planning to determine what and when materials will arrive at the TFSB. b. Airlift Planning: Lifts will be scheduled and precisely

planned to support both the tactical and the construction operations. The infantry battalion S-4 officer, Brigade Engineer,
and an LCC representative will all take an active part in this planning. A maximum of 60 sorties are allocated for the opening
