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…
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
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”.
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,
To add to the difficulty of the trails is the extreme elevation changes. The re are ironically enough thirteen climbs which result in more than 10,000 feet of climb per loop. This is obviously accompanied by an equal amount of descent. One runner described it as climbing 100 floors of stairs in your first mile, going back down on second mile and continuing this for twenty miles. The course amasses an average grade of over 20% and between 50 and near 100 percent grade on the abandoned trails and bushwhacking sections. The grade is the reason that the trails have been abandoned or not built in the first pace. Each climb bears a unique name which in many cases gives a good idea of their nature.
Unified Land Operations defines the army operational design methodology (ADM) as “a methodology for applying critical and creative thinking to understand, visualize, and describe unfamiliar problems and approaches to solving them. The operational design methodology incorporated into army doctrine serves as a method to compliment the military decision making process (MDMP). Although the ADM it is often confused with replacing MDMP, its purpose is to address complex problems from a nonlinear approach. ADM helps the commander to answer questions to problems. However, only a collaborative effort of an operation planning team (OPT) will achieve the approach to answering complex problems. Doctrine alone does not provide the answer to complex problems, but rather offers a guide to solve them. To conceptualize the MDMP, planners must incorporate ADM to provide a better understanding, visualization, and description of the problem. The purpose of this paper is to provide the framework to support why ADM is required in the MDMP.
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.
Tomson Highway is a playwright of Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kaspukasing. The play is based on the real life of Highway as he was born as a full-blood Cree, lived in a Native community that takes place in Wasaychigan Hill, and registered as a member of the Barren Lands First Nation (“Biography”). Native people have their own culture and beliefs; unique language and mythology. Most of his plays use Cree and Ojib language and show the issue of the women power in the community. As the period changes, the Canadian government tries to implement a new system to ensure that native people can cope and adapt with the world that keeps changing. The government tries to assimilate Christianity and Western culture by forcing the kids to go to the residential schools. They are not allowed to speak their own language, Cree, and stay with their parents so that they have less time spend on having a normal family life. As one of the ways to preserve Native cultures and beliefs, Highway uses the play as a medium to express their hardship in facing social challenges by the government. Tomson Highway explain the uniqueness of Cree language, the value of women in Native community and how the government’s strategy on modernizing Native people leads to the destruction of Native cultures.
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.
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
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
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 ...

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
