| The following engagement methods are especially effective: area/point, structural, barrage fire, denial fire, sweeping fire, the fire corridor, and hemming-in fire. Should the convoy come under attack, the guard force (security element) artillery, on request from commanders of the subunits that have come under attack, opens massed fire on the enemy force or barrage fire along the line of the march route if the enemy force is dispersed on the ground. This method consists in intercepting routes for maneuver, pinning down attacking forces with barrage fire, fire screens, and remotely controlled minefields and explosive obstacles. |
