  • Section in Attack!!

    [MOD: Thread split]



    Does anyone do section in attacks outside basic training anymore? Surely we have moved up to Platoon and Company in attacks?

      Do training in it every now and again but mostly as refresher training.
      To close with and kill the enemy in all weather conditions, night and day and over any terrain

            Surely Platoon Attacks consist of a series of section in attacks, and company in attack consist of a series of platoon in attack?

            edit- I know it's not that simple, but you won't be in a position to assualt a position unless your in a position to assault a position. position. position. position. position. position.

            How often can an RDF unit muster a full company of fully trained soldiers anyway?

            Take these men and women for your example.
            Like them, remember that posterity can only
            be for the free; that freedom is the sure
            possession of those who have the
            courage to defend it.

            Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do like.

            If you're not ready to die for it, put the word freedom out of your vocabulary.

                Just Curious But in my Battalion Coy inattack is practiced in full scale several times a year this is a combination Company,Battalion Ex along training with Fighting Fifth (5th Inf Batt) So you may train in a full Coy in attack up to three times a year using Blanks etc.. But Coy in Attack will be practiced (Dry-runs) dozens of times a year in our training grounds etc.. Now Section In Attack would be done as part of refresher training in when doing the likes of Platoon In Attack. Now more and more ATCP training is been done progressly as part of Three Star training etc.. Section In Attack Is The Bread And Butter Of Tacical Ops/Training InnDefence Forces No Matter What Rank Or amount of service u obtain the basic fundamentals will never leave you...

                Michael Collins: So that's what all the bother was about.

                  The only time my unit do them is on camp. They should be done much more often as possible in my opinion as they are a basic tactical manoeuvre which everyone infantryman should know inside out.

                  It helps to refresh people by giving them refresher lessons but the best refresher training for tactics is getting dirty (so to speak) on the ground and doing it there.

                    We did it during the PSO, Section and Platoon attacks that is, we had enough to do a company attack but instead a few PDF came down and a few of the RDF guys were chosen to do a company in attack with the PDF,

                        I wish it were that simple. The are very subtle but significant differences between Platoon in attack and Section in attack.

                        Watch any cpl who has done section in attack only try to command a platoon in attack.

                              but the smallest attack the brits would do would be company in attack. We should practice it a lot more also both in RDF and PDF.
