Occupation of the ORP (Figure 7 8). (1) The patrol halts beyond sight and sound of the tentative ORP (200 to 400 meters in good visibility, 100 to 200 meters in limited visibility). (2) The patrol establishes a security halt IAW the unit SOP. (3) After issuing a five point contingency plan to the PSG, the PL moves forward with a recon element to conduct a leader’s recon of the ORP.
