When you are planning a route, one must take into considerations the terrain, enemy, or obstacles along the way and OAKOC can help with that. OAKOC stands for: Observation, Avenues of Approach, Key and decisive terrain, obstacles, and cover and concealment and it helps evaluate the terrain that deals with the route you chose. However, this approach to route planning will take a considerable amount of time, but it's best to be prepared for the route one is taking. With observation one is checking their route for possible encounters with the enemy, and checking to see if the enemy has you in sight. Next is to consider your avenues of approach. You will have figured this out once you have observed possible attacks from the enemy, and elements …show more content…
that can help with concealment if an uproar occurs. Avenues of approach also helps you in determining which terrain is best for you when planning your route for a mission. Figuring out your key terrain helps in route planning for a mission in that it provides you with the terrain in which you’ll have dominant control over the territory than the enemy.
Our next approach is looking out for obstacles during planning the route. Consider the vegetation, hills, and anything that could possibly hinder your movement. Another way to figure if an obstacle is truly defying, one considers how the mission is going to be led, whether it is by foot, or vehicles. Simply because you do not want to have your personnel walking up the steepest hill with forty-five to fifty pounds of equipment on their back, and nor do you want a vehicle going up treacherous and steep terrain. The last part of OAKOC is determining the cover and concealment during route planning. If one is going to plan a route for a mission you must think about how the vegetation, and the terrain features can help with cover and concealment. When going through territory that one isn’t aware of its best to have a route that protects you, and members of the team from rounds of fire. While one is doing the process of OAKOC the skills of map reading, and using the compass, being able to find the distance and, etc. It still applies to this because without it you would be able to figure out the accuracy your
route. However, it is truly important that we use this approach when planning routes for missions. We this you are able to successfully have an organized route that is able to benefit the mission, and have an idea of the terrain and features that are there to assist with your plan.. Not using the approaches and going off what one assumes without doing research is the wrong answer. Without proper route planning one is putting the lives of others on the line, and is being completely irresponsible.
In The Folklore of the Freeway: Space, Culture, and Identity in Postwar Los Angeles, Eric Avila discusses the history of the construction of the freeway in Los Angeles and the effects that this transformation had on communities of color. The construction of the freeway further increased the contrast between white space and non whitespace as white people moved toward the suburbs and communities of color were displaced to the inner city metropolitan areas. Avila explains that the impact of the freeways was not only economic, but also physical. The construction entailed immense destruction and displacement among inner-city communities. Boyle Heights, for example, experienced one-tenth of its population being displaced by the freeways. What I found
Recorded during 1980 a total of 87.2% of American homes owned at least one vehicle, while 51.5% of Americans owned more than one vehicle.[2] The increasing amount of sales resulted in an increase in the amount of cars that were on the road. The large amount of cars made the time of traveling from one destination to another longer than it was when not as many vehicles were on the road. Reducing the amount of time it took to travel lead to the idea of the highway system in 1938.[4] The extensive process of figuring out where the highways should lay and how they should be created did not allow the building process to begin until 1956.[4] Besides reducing the amount of time that it took to travel to each destination the highway system will
Xavier and Elijah in Three Day Road (TDR) are faced with physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual displacement, but due to their different backgrounds and personalities, every obstacle has a very different effect on their journey, which ultimately favors Xavier, but disfavors Elijah.
Political protesting within today’s society is often relegated to mass marches, social media usage, and other large acts. Unfortunately, small and simple everyday acts of protest are often overlooked or deemed useless in the long run. Sadly, this diminishes most of the protests that take place within America. However, this is not a new trend, but one that can be seen throughout American history, specifically within Jim Crow laws and segregation Deep South during World War II. Within Robin Kelley’s “Congested Terrain,” the way lower and middle-class black citizens fought for their rights to the public spaces within Birmingham Alabama are explored. Because the space in buses was much less defined that other public, segregated spaces, black
Curse of Oak Island is a History channel series documenting the journey of Rick and Marty Lagina’s search for a supposed treasure tucked away on Oak Island in Nova Scotia. Many treasure seekers either died or had gone broke due to their attempts to crack the puzzle of the treasure. It is also rumored that Oak Island is cursed causing the failure of those who seek the treasure or “money pit.” This review shall summarize the efforts of Rick and Marty as well as offering a critique of the overall series concerning its reliability and accuracy.
The western style 2013 Australian feature film Mystery Road centres around indigenous detective Jay Swan as he investigates the murder of indigenous teenager Julie Mason. Swan’s continued struggles to convince the rest of the local police – who all happen to be white males – to help him to solve the case lead him to find a drug ring. Sen represents the idea that indigenous people do not receive justice through the construction of Jay Swan and the unjust way the rest of the Indigenous community are treated by the white community and predominately white police force, encouraging my empathetic response. Sen also explores the police as corrupt and apathetic. In recent years, all over the world, but particularly in Australia in the 1980’s onwards,
With the fort as advance base for the pursuit forces, the heliograph communications network, which General Miles had established in Arizona and New Mexico, was used effectively for logistical purposes. However, the Indians and the Army were conducting their chase in Mexico where the system did not extend. So the most the heliograph could do in the campaign was relay messages brought by fast riders from the border.
LZs were often limited due to rough terrain such as swamps, dense jungle, and mountains. This gave the enemy an advantage because they could dedicate surveillance teams or set up ambushes in potential LZs. When time permitted, scout helicopters conducted aerial reconnaissance on potential LZs along with alternate LZs if the enemy or terrain made the primary LZ unusable (Tolson, 1973). Different INFIL and EXFIL routes were determined while scouting potential LZs. Scout helicopters were careful not to make too many turns in fear of burning the

As much as the tangible dangers hinder the journey one may face during the trail--the desire, attitude and the love for hiking are perhaps what keeps them yearning for the next level.
The Oregon Trail is a 2000 mile long wagon route and emigrant trail made by fur trappers and traders from 1811 to 1840. The trail was then only possible on foot or horseback. By 1863, the trail was cleared from Independence, Missouri, to Fort Hall, Idaho. The trail later kept being cleared until Willamette Valley, Oregon. Improved roads, cutouts, and bridges made the trip faster and safer every year. The Oregon Trail had three offshoots: the California, Bozeman, and Mormon trails. The eastern half of the trail spanned future Idaho and Oregon. The western half of the trail spanned part of future Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. Modern highways pass through the same course as the Oregon Trail. It was sometimes called “The Highway of Hope”.
As seen, I drew only Highway 99 and the two rivers as physical markings on the map. I did that to approximately orient the viewer and also show that even physical boundaries were not constant boundaries for the school lines. I did not draw out the roads on this map for two reasons. One: our school district covers a large amount of space and drawing the streets out would have made the boundary lines look very muddled and made it difficult to see any other markings on the map. Two: the streets did not make a significant difference in how the boundary lines were drawn if you look at the map logically. For example, the border between Davis and Gregori is drawn by streets, but it is not one singular street, they zigzag along several housing developments that are fairly new. None of them wanted to go to a “ghetto” high
You cannot just wander willy-nilly, rattling gear, smoking cigarettes or even eating, there is a direction the patrol moves in whether you know the final destination or not. Distances must be maintained from others in the event of an attack. This prevents one hand grenade or other explosive devices from injuring the entire patrol, and distance from others may make it more difficult for a sniper to engage targets as
An outdoor climbing route, as opposed to an indoor one, is largely ambiguous. An indoor route is often color-coded and tells the climber where they should grab and hold. By the nature of being outdoors, climbing on a rock face uses adaptive movement, has to be more ...
