INTRODUCTION

1.ý This document is the January 1998 Issue of theTactical Aide Memoire (TAM) Part 1 (Army Code 71384).It replaces the 1988 Issue (Amendment 6) which shouldnow be destroyed.

2.ý The Aim of the Tactical Aide Memoire (TAM) is toprovide a consolidated set of Aide Memoires and Reportsand Returns for use at sub-unit level and below.

STRUCTURE AND USE

3. This issue of TAM is initially structured in 2 Parts:

a.ý Part 1 – Immediate Use.

b.ý Part 2 – Reference Use.

4. Part 1 consists of the minimum essential informationand is designed to be carried on the person of all sectioncommanders and above. Part 2 contains more detailedinformation and it is anticipated that this will normally becarried in the Bergen or vehicle. It is intended thatappropriate sections may be temporally transferred fromPart 2 to Part 1 and then returned following the conclusionof a particular operation.

5. AUSOPs will be re-issued towards the end of 1998 asTAM Part 3 – Unit Level . Their structure and contents willbe revised to provide a closely integrated and consistentset of publications for use at the Tactical Level.

REPORTS AND RETURNS

6. The included Reports and Returns have beenselected on the basis that they are those required forimmediate use. These formats have been simplified toinclude the minimum essential information only and wouldtypically be used by a sentry or observer to send animmediate tactical report.

OPERATIONAL REPORTING

1. This Section contains a complete set of Reports andReturns (R2) for use at Battlegroup level and below. Anidentical set of R2 is also contained in TAM Part 3. Acomplete Compendium of Land Component R2 iscontained in the Land Component Handbook (LCH), Part2. Although principally designed for use with voice, R2 arelaid out in a common format on which data messages maybe based.

2. In order to reduce what has to be carried, unwantedformats should be transferred in page order to Section 4 ofPart 2. Unit Commanders may issue guidance as to whichR2 are to be retained for Immediate Use. Formats marked“Yes” under DET are likely to be required.

3. Important Warning . In some cases, these R2 aresimplified versions of the LCH formats. The latter shouldalways be used between battlegroup/unit HQ andformations. With the exception of the SITREP,REPLENDEMCOYSQN and REPLENDEMTPPL whichare only used at unit level and below, TAM R2 canhowever be interpreted with reference to the LCH only.

4. BATCO . Detailed rules and procedures for sendingR2 over insecure communications are contained in theLand Tactical Communications Handbook. (This willreplace Signals Communication in the Army Volume IV,Pamphlet 2 (Army Code 70816) in early 99).

5. Critical Info . It is essential that critical info isreported to the next higher HQ as soon as possible:

EnemyFirst sighting/contact air recce/FGA/ground forces/airborne/airmobile forces.Critical information: location/direction/height and numbers.First confirmed identification of enemy, and subsequentidentification of new troops/units/formations.Start of enemy fire plans, signs of impending attack.Suspected war crimes or illegal acts.Significant intelligence information or prisoners.

BRIEFINGS (GROUND AND TACTICAL)

1. Preparation . If at all possible see the product of IPBbefore preparing the briefing. Mark map accordingly.Select reference points off the ground which are relevantto the details to be given in the brief.

2. Ground Brief . Give GR of briefing location, directionof Grid North and direction you are facing. Point outreference points (including GR and approximate rangeand, if necessary, magnetic bearing) and tacticallysignificant terrain features (e.g. going, cover, obstacles,key terrain); indicate from left to right, near, middle thenfar. Always brief off the ground, not the map. Concludeby bringing the ground to life tactically with a broadoperational description employing the reference points andterrain features previously indicated. The following shouldbe covered:

a. Offensive Operations

(1) Enemy . Describe left to right from yourviewpoint. Include likely intentions, knownpositions and obstacles.

(2) Own Forces . Brief logically, following theflow of the operation: FUPs, LD, axes,boundaries, bounds and report lines andobjectives. Positions of other friendly forces inarea, especially on flanks.

b. Defensive Operations . Always try to brief fromthe enemy’s view of your position.

(1) Enemy . Likely intentions, currentlocations, likely FUPs, axes to, through andbeyond own positions.

(2) Own Forces . Boundaries, obstacle plan,killing areas, direct and indirect fire plans, STAPand IPB details (NAI, TAI and DPs).

Issue 3.1: Feb 99 5 - 2 - 2

3. Tactical Briefs . A tactical brief can be given eitherin a command post or on the ground. The brief shouldcover the following points:

a. Orientation . If given on the ground, start withthe first part of the Ground Brief. If off a map, give theGR of your current location. Describe unit layoutincluding boundaries and flanking units.

b. Tactical Situation . Give a short summary ofthe tactical situation, including your mission andconcept of ops. Then use the operational descriptionfrom the ground brief, adding extra details asnecessary.

c. Summary . Conclude with a summary of howyou see the operation going and describing anyproblems which you think may affect missionsuccess.

DEFENCE AGAINST DECEPTION

Vigilance

Be alert for enemy trying to get youto answer (especially during radiosilence). Watch for pre-recordedfriendly transmissions being playedback to cause confusion. Noteirregular procedures, unfamiliarspeech and unexpected transmissionof doubtful origin.

Authentication Challenge whenever intrusion issuspected.

Reporting Report the deception using JAMREP.

ACTION ON LOST COMMUNICATIONS

1. Ensure the set is still working/transmitting.2. Check the coaxial connection to the antenna.3. Confirm the current EMCON state from the CEI.4. Check if any other station in your immediate area stillhas communications.5. Ensure the correct CEI is being used by checkingserial number and date.6. Confirm the time and frequency. Physically check itagainst the set.7. Call another station.8. Call another station using an alternate method(alternative net or line).9. Instruct someone close by to call another station.10. Go to the lost comms chart on the CEI and try callingthe CP/HQ on alternate frequencies.11. If communications cannot be re-established, you mustsend someone to find the other stations.12. Under normal circumstances, a sub-unit would berequired to automatically despatch an LO to the commandstation.13. Assuming Command . If, when in contact with theenemy, or following and air/artillery attack nothing hasbeen heard from the control station/HQ for more than 10minutes, the next senior callsign (or as detailed in Orders)must assume command. Check first that the controlstation is not simply applying the correct CSCM.

Notes:

(1) At Dress State ZERO, all NBC IPE not worn is to becarried or immediately available.

(2) ROMEO is superimposed on States ONE to THREEas required (see also Note 3).

(3) State ZERO ROMEO can be a temporary reactionstate to an unwarned hazard, or ordered when the riskassessment indicates that a non-persistent nerve agent orbiological attack is the most likely hazard. Troops routinelyunder cover such as in AFVs may also adopt this measure.

(4) Normal wear is that all zips and fastenings aresecured. Commanders may authorise the smock to be leftundone, or jackets to be taken off in hightemperatures/work rates.

(2) The rule may be applied in full, in part, or not at all.Modifications will be directed by formation and/or BGHQ.

(3) Decisions on the application of the rule should bebased on the estimate and chemical IPB overlay(especially anticipated delivery means), the tacticalsituation, the availability of detectors and alarms, and thetask in hand.

Issue 3.0: Jan 98 5 - 8 - 6

UNMASKING DRILLS

The deliberate method should normally be used, but unitsequipped with CAM may use the hasty method ifoperationally essential, and an unknown agent attack is notsuspected. The hasty method may also be used whenunder attack by an unmasked enemy, or reacting to theCBSR when no detectors alarm.

a. Deliberate Method

Step 1 Detector paper test. Expose and dab surfaces withfresh detector paper. Is liquid agent present?YES – Wait 30 min, repeat step 1NO – Go to Step 2

Step 2 RVD test. Is agent vapour present? (15 min test)YES – Wait 30 min, go back to Step 2NO – Go to Step 3.

Step 3 2 man sniff test. Agent symptoms?YES – MASK UP, wait 30 min, go back to Step 2.Monitor symptoms, take the appropriate action.NO – Inform commander. Go to Step 4.

Step 4 Same 2 men unmask for 5 min. Agent symptoms?YES – MASK UP, wait 30 min, go back to Step 2.NO – Inform commander, commander orders ‘GASCLEAR’, individual sniff tests.

Step 5 Individual sniff tests. Agent symptoms?YES – MASK UP, wait 30 min, go back to Step 2.NO – Unmask.

b. Hasty Method

Step 1 Are you under attack by unmasked enemy, or reactingto CBSR and no detectors alarm?YES – Go to Step 5.NO – Go to Step 2.

Step 2 Check detector paper. Is liquid agent present?YES – Wait 5 min, expose and dab surface with freshdetector paper. Repeat Step 2.NO – Go to Step 3.

Step 3 Is CAM less than 5 bars (H and G modes) and is riskworth the gain? (1).YES – Go to Step 4.NO – Remain masked.

Step 4 2 man sniff test. If no symptoms then the same 2 menunmask for 5 min. Agent symptoms?YES – MASK UP. Remain masked.NO – Inform commander. Go to step 5.

Issue 3.0: Jan 98 5 - 8 - 7

Step 5 Comd orders ‘Hasty Unmask’, troops unmask,continuous monitoring with CAM (H and G modes).Does CAM exceed 4 bars?YES – MASK UP. Inform comd.NO – Go to Step 6.

Step 6 After tps have been unmasked for 30 min is CAM lessthan 2 bars (H and G modes)?YES – Remain unmasked.NO – MASK UP. Do not unmask again within 24 hrsunless hazard clears (1).

Notes:

(1) CAM monitors Nerve (G and V) and Mustard (H)agent vapours. It will only respond to V agents attemperatures above +5oC.

(2) Use detector paper on suspicious liquids.

Issue 3.0: Jan 98 5 - 8 - 8

(3) When using Safe Exposure Time Guide:

a. DO NOT unmask or remove IPE without thelocal commander’s approval.

b. Always take the highest reading when the bardisplay is fluctuating.

c. DO NOT unmask or remove IPE if the bardisplay is increasing.

d. Take frequent readings when tps are unmasked.

e. Exposure times within each 24 hr cycle can becontinuous or broken down into smaller periodsproviding the maximum exposure time is notexceeded.

f. After the total exposure time in a 24 hr periodhas been reached, wait 24 hrs before furtherunmasking or exposure if the hazard persists.

g. Note that the Safe Exposure Time Guide appliesto all locations.

(4) If a 1 bar reading does not clear the display in 15minutes, check background with RVD. If RVD showsclear, carry out the deliberate unmasking drill.
