Team SOP - Patrol Hasty Ambushes

A hasty ambush is a rapidly executed, opportunistic attack planned and conducted on short notice by a small group (1-4 individuals) in an SHTF scenario, leveraging stealth and silent communication to surprise and engage a target in an urban or rural setting.

Hasty Ambush

  • Hand signal is the punch left or right, where the direction communicates which direction of fire. Punching left means the team moves off trail and sets up on the right side and will fire towards left side
  • Linear (ie in a line, same side) for hasty ambush
  • Once team is set in linear, TL CAN shift people to form an L if enemy movement slows or TL thinks there is enough time
  • Team Leader is the one to initiate attack
