    Types of Rally Points

    • Objective Rally Point (ORP): A designated location where a patrol pauses to prepare for reconnaissance and actions at the objective, typically around 1000 meters out.
    • Initial Rally Point (IRP): A safe area within friendly lines for a unit to assemble and reorganize before departure, especially if contact with the enemy occurs.
    • En-route Rally Point (ERP): Located between the IRP and ORP; designated for halts during transit to maintain unit cohesion, marked every 200-400 meters.
    • Reentry Rally Point (RRP): The strategic halt point prior to returning to friendly lines, positioned beyond the range of friendly small arms fire to ensure safety.
    • Near and Far Side Rally Points: Specific locations related to the tactical maneuvers of a unit, aiding in timing and coordination during operations.
