Fundamentals of Defensive Tactics

Key Terrain:

1. High ground
2. Barricades or Bunkers
3. Good cover and Concealment

Cover & Concealment:

1. Use the element of surprise to your advantage -- The OpFor needs to come to you

Observation & fields of Fire:

1. Keep eyes on OpFor once located
2. Keep your Flanks tied in tight to the objective

1. Try to control all high ground
2. If unable to control, stay concealed

1. Good angles
2. Overlapping amongst the FT members
3. Clear and mostly unobstructed
4. Set up on the OpFor's avenue of approach
5. Set up in a good concealed/covered position
6. Don't open fire until the majority of the OpFor is in the "Kill Zone".
