If all or part of the proposed route is a road, the platoon considers the road a danger area.
If all or part of the proposed route is a road, the platoon considers the road a danger area. It moves parallel to the road using a covered and concealed route. When required, reconnaissance and security teams move close to the road to reconnoiter key areas.
Crossing a linear danger area(1) When the lead team signals "danger area" (relayed throughout the platoon), the platoon halts.(2) The platoon leader moves forward, confirms the danger area, and determines what technique the platoon will use to cross. The platoon sergeant also moves forward to the platoon leader.(3) The platoon leader informs all squad leaders of the situation and the near-side and far-side rally points.(4) The platoon sergeant directs positioning of the near-side security (usually conducted by the trail squad). These two security teams may follow him forward when the platoon halts and a danger area signal is passed back.(5) The platoon leader reconnoiters the danger area and selects the crossing point that provides the best cover and concealment.(6) Near-side security observes to the flanks and overmatches the crossing.(7) When the near-side security is in place, the platoon leader directs the far-side security team to cross the danger area.(8) The far-side security team clears the far side.(9) The far-side security team leader establishes an OP forward of the cleared area.(10) The far-side security team signals to the squad leader that the area is clear. The squad leader relays the message to the platoon leader.(11) The platoon leader selects the method the platoon will use to cross the danger area.(12) The platoon quickly and quietly crosses the danger area.(13) Once across the danger area, the main body begins moving slowly on the required azimuth.(14) The near-side security element, controlled by the platoon sergeant, crosses the danger area where the platoon crossed. They may attempt to cover any tracks left by the platoon.(15) The platoon sergeant ensures everyone crosses and sends up the report.(16) The platoon leader ensures accountability and resumes movement at normal speed.Crossing of Small Open Areas(1) Detour bypass method. By the use of 90-degree turns to the right or left, the squad or platoon moves around the open area until the far side is reached, then continues the mission. The pace count of the offset and return legs is not added to the distance of the planned route.(2) Contouring around the open area. The leader designates a rally point on the far side with the movement azimuth, decides which side of the open area to contour around (after considering the distance, terrain, cover and concealment), and moves around the open area. He uses the wood line and vegetation for cover and concealment. When the squad or platoon arrives at the rally point on the far side, the leader reassumes the azimuth to the objective area and continues the missionCrossing of Large Open AreasThis is an area so large (hat the platoon cannot bypass due to the time to accomplish the mission. A combination of (raveling overwatch and bounding overwatch is used to cross the open area. The traveling overwatch technique is used to save time. At any point in the open area where contact may be expected or once the squad or platoon comes within range of small-arms fire of the far side (about 250 meters), the squad or platoon moves using the bounding overwatch technique. Once beyond the open area, the squad or platoon reforms and continues the mission.
