v1.00

Enemy positions should not be used as regroup or rally points after contact or assault. Once ~~a position has been occupied by the enemy, it is~~ likely ~~known, recorded,~~ or ~~pre‑designated~~ for indirect fires, air attack, or ~~follow‑on~~ engagement. Even if ~~the position appears abandoned~~ or ~~successfully cleared,~~ the enemy ~~retains awareness of its location and~~ may respond with artillery, mortars, or direct fire once friendly forces occupy ~~it. Regrouping on such positions increases~~ vulnerability during ~~a period when elements are disorganised, low on ammunition, and focused inward.~~ Following contact, elements should displace to a separate, concealed, and defensible location to reorganise, treat casualties, redistribute ammunition, and establish security. ~~Regroup locations should be selected based on cover, concealment, and the ability to observe and react to enemy movement without being fixed. Avoiding enemy positions as~~ regroup points ~~preserves survivability and~~ reduces ~~predictability, particularly in environments where indirect fire or rapid counter‑action is likely.~~

v1.01

Enemy positions should not be used as regroup or rally points after contact or assault. Once occupied, these locations are likely known or pre-planned for indirect fires, air attack, or follow-on engagement. Even if cleared or abandoned, the enemy may still respond with artillery, mortars, or direct fire once friendly forces occupy the position, increasing vulnerability during reorganisation. Following contact, elements should displace to a separate, concealed, and defensible location to reorganise, treat casualties, redistribute ammunition, and establish security. Selecting regroup points away from enemy positions reduces predictability and improves survivability
