The Infantry Battalion Infantry battalions are either organic unit to the infantry divisions normally placed OPCON to the infantry brigades in the conduct of Internal Security Operations (ISO) or as part of the brigade combat team (BCT) of the PA. It has three (3) maneuver rifle companies, one (1) weapons company, and headquarters company other than its own headquarters. It is designed, organized, and equipped to conduct full spectrum operations continuous and simultaneous combinations of offensive, defensive and support to civil governance operations. The fundamental combat mission of the infantry battalion is to get close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to destroy or capture him or to repel his assaults by fire, close combat, and counterattack.

Plan for increased consumption of fuel oil lubricant (FOL) k. Ensure sustainment preparations for the attack do not give away tactical plans c. Preplan for air resupply (airlift or airdrop) consistent with ADA threat l. Request unit distribution at forward locations d. Use previously planned and configured logistics m.

MULTI-MISSION READY. CROSS-DOMAIN CAPABLE. SUPPORT OF THE DEFENSE CONSIDERATIONS The S-4 coordinates with the battalion S-3 to ensure that supply routes do not interfere with maneuver and obstacle plans, but still support the full depth of the defense. Battalion support assets should be positioned forward initially to reduce response time Resupply periods should be planned carefully to prevent the enemy from learning of screening force locations; the movement of resupply vehicles should be restricted. Develop a responsive casualty evacuation plan. The locations of casualty collection points should be known by all soldiers in the counter-reconnaissance force. HONOR. PATRIOTISM.
