1. INTRODUCTION: The President of the United States has given your troop Compromise Authority to execute an IHR. You have planned it, rehearsed it, and have executed it. After the Crisis Site was clear, your Troop Sergeant gave an inaccurate accountability of Hotels and Tangos. The reason is, because Cpl Benotz forgot to account for the two dead Tangos in his room. Because of the importance of one of the unaccounted Tangos, the NCA has ordered your troop to execute a "Re-Clear", causing your troop to re-main on target for an extended period of time, with enemy re-enforcements on the way.

2. OVERVIEW: This section is designed to introduce the shooter to Marshaling Procedures.

BODY:

1. HOSTAGE HOLDING AREA:

a. The purpose of the HHA is to provide a secure location to gain accountability of all shooters, (DAP

& Security Element), living Hostages, Unknowns, and Terrorist as well as to communicate that accounta-bility to Higher Headquarters prior to the request for evacuation.

T non-permissive environment. Primarily, it will be located inside of the Crisis Site. The speed in which the Marshaling Procedures take place is extremely important, but remember, do not sacrifice safety (security) for speed.

c. Just like all aspects of an assault plan, the Marshaling Procedures, or actions in the HHA, must be rehearsed both for the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. Take the initiative, be deliberate, and your smoothness will equal speed.

2. CONFIGURING THE HHA:

a. The following is the criteria required in the selection of the HHA:

(1) An area that is completely cleared following the first 6 fundamentals.

(2) Be as close to the Breach Point as possible, and to be on the same deck.

(3) Provide positive communications to Higher Headquarters.

(4) An area that is obscured from outside visibility.

(5) An area, or areas, that will accommodate all Strike force personnel interior of the Crisis Site, as well as predicted numbers of recovered individuals.

b. The HHA is divided into the following pits:

(1) Hostage Pit: This is only for the positively identified hostages. This pit is the location where a deliberate search is conducted on the hostages.

(2) Unknown Pit: This is for anyone that has not been positively identified as a Hostage or Terrorist.

This pit is the location where a deliberate search is conducted on any unknown persons.

(3) Terrorist Pit: This is only for the positively identified terrorist. This pit is the location where a deliberate search is conducted on Terrorist.

(4) Medical Pit: This pit is only for wounded Hostages, Unknowns, and Terrorist, and segregation of the three categories is required. The deliberate search is also done here. Injured shooters are not placed in this pit, but are kept with their respective troops.

c. The configuration of the HHA is obviously site dependent. Actions in the HHA however, will re-main standard. The following is a list of those standards:

(1) All recovered living individuals will have had a cursory search and be Flex-Cuffed prior to enter-ing the HHA.

(2) Living individuals will be placed into their respective pits and the deliberate search will be initi-ated.

(3) Only one man is needed to provide cover of individuals being searched.

(4) All shooters not responsible for recovered personnel will line the outboard area of the HHA.

(5) All shooters will be visible "at a glance" by the HHA Controller.

(6) Only pertinent verbiage will be passed during Marshaling Procedures.

(7) The HHA Controller is the only man who will physically count the H's, U's, and T's.

(8) Any individual that is inside of the Crisis Site and is a member of the Strike Force will be ac-counted for in the HHA.

(9) Only the HHA Controller will send the HUTS Report.

(10) Only the HHA Controller will assign special duties.

(11) The four pits will be clearly marked or verbally designated.

(12) The entrance to the HHA will have physical security and be clearly marked, as per SOP.

(13) The last security element or DAP member to enter the HHA will inform the HHA Controller,

"Last Man".

3. TEAM MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE HHA:

a. HHA CONTROLLER:

(1) Selects a suitable area or areas for the HHA.

(2) Clearly marks the entrance to the HHA.

(3) Visually marks, or verbally designates, the four pits.

(4) Designates security for the HHA entrance point.

(5) Physically or verbally places all team members in desired location in the HHA.

(6) Designates the "Last Man" in, to physically count all shooters.

(7) Physically counts all recovered living individuals.

(8) Physically counts the shooters fingers for the Tango deadcheck report.

(9) Sends the HUTS Report to the Strike Force Commander/Higher Headquarters.

(10) Request evacuation.

(11) Designates the first (four) shooters to secure the Breach Point, (external).

(12) Designates shooters for the Body Bunker, if used.

(13) Designates the last man out of the Breach Point.

(14) Stacks all other personnel to be used as the Hostage Corridor.

b. HHA SECURITY PERSONNEL:

(1) Provides security for team members entering the HHA.

(2) Maintains covered or barricaded positions according to site configuration.

(3) Ensure "Last Man" to enter the HHA sounds off "Last Man" to HHA Controller.

(4) Provide a minimum of one shooter to maintain rear security during evacuation as per the HHA Controllers command "You, Last Man Out Of The Breach".

c. PIT SECURITY PERSONNEL:

(1) Provide security over living individuals within the pit.

(2) Maintain segregation and control of pits.

d. MEDICAL PIT PERSONNEL:

(1) Provide medical care following the below listed priority:

(3) Request aid/litter teams through the HHA Controller.

e. BODY BUNKER:

(1) On command, provide a physical barrier around the precious cargo during evacuation.

NOTE: The size of the bunker depends on the number of precious cargo that you have. Unknowns and terrorist may also rate a Body Bunker depending on the mission statement.

f. FIRST FOUR OUT OF THE BREACH POINT:

(1) The first four out are designed to establish immediate security outside of the Breach Point. The first four do this by establishing a 180 degree perimeter. Do not get hung up on only using four shooters.

The situation may require only 2 or it may require 6. Bottom line, the situation on the ground will dictate the amount of shooters needed.

(2) On command, provide a visual mark to notify R&S of impending evacuation.

(3) On command, provide external Breach Point Security prior to the evacuation.

(4) Once the first four establish security, each shooter announces over his saber radio his number and clear or not clear. Once the HHA Controller receives this word, he will proceed with the evacuation.

g. HOSTAGE CORRIDOR PERSONNEL:

(1) Provide a visual and/or a physical corridor from the Breach point to the extract vehicles or as-sembly area. This is done by shooters establishing two staggered columns from the Breach point to the ex-tract platform. The living individuals are moved between these two columns.

h. REAR SECURITY OR LAST MAN OUT OF THE BREACH POINT:

(1) Visually and physically cover the Strike Force's evacuation from the Crisis Site.

(2) Upon exit of the Breach Point, sound off "Last man Out", to trigger the collapse of the corridor.

(if applicable).

SUMMARY: The President of the United States had enough confidence in your abilities to allow you to conduct a IHR. Your well rehearsed and smooth operation of Marshaling Procedures will increase the chance that you never have to hear those possibly fatal words, "RECLEAR".
