Setup a sector defense
Effectively allocate firepower to cover likely enemy approaches while preventing overlap and friendly fire.
- Identify likely enemy avenues of approach within the assigned area.
- Divide the sector into clearly defined fire arcs covering only viable threat directions.
- Assign each individual, buddy team, or weapon system a specific arc using bearings, clock directions, or terrain references.
- Ensure arcs do not overlap unnecessarily, especially across friendly positions or movement routes.
- Confirm all personnel understand their assigned arc and engagement limits.
- Adjust arcs as the situation, terrain, or friendly positioning changes.
