TASK:

Establish a primary Main Supply Route (MSR)

and determine possible TTP and CSC requirements

CONDITION:

Given a class room enviroment with a 1:250,000 map board determine primary MSR’s and determine type and placement of appropriate CSC locations.

STANDARD:

Upon completion each individual will have a working knowledge of the difficulties, and restrictions involved in determining a MSR and adequate Support Center requirements.

MAP RECON

Maps provide a basic source of terrain information. The reliability of a map is determined by the data used to prepare it. Maps are supplemented by aerial or ground photos, sketches, and visual observation.

Special maps and overlays are designed for specific purposes, such as trafficability, transportation facilities, and soils, and are of particular value in terrain evaluation.
