Chapter I. THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY.

CHAPTER I : THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY. The mechanized infantry company can be deployed anywhere in the Philippines to secure the area of operation as part of mechanized infantry battalion deployment. The mechanized infantry company can be placed forced mixed of any Infantry Battalion, depending on the weight of the threat situation of the area that needs to be deployed as combined arms. The unit is specialized in both internal and external security operations..

[Audio] The mechanized infantry company will often fight in conjunction with armor to form a combined arms team. It complements the armor by providing a dismount capability enabling the unit to reduce obstacles and hold ground. The IFV provides the infantry with mobility but less firepower and protection than tank units. (PAM 3-02, Armor Operations, 2017)..

[Audio] A mechanized infantry company is task-organized based on the situation estimate to perform a Full Spectrum Operation. A unit integrates with combat, maneuver support, and sustainment elements to fulfill this role. It can deploy in a condensed deployment timeline across the full spectrum of operations. 0104. The mechanized infantry company is tasked to perform the same essential missions. However, the possibility that it will fight in new and unique conditions is almost guaranteed. It may either fight a conventional or unconventional enemy or an enemy that employs both conventional and unconventional methods. It may fight in complex and restricted terrain with a large number of combat multipliers. It may assist in social and economic development, including humanitarian assistance and disaster response in support of civil authorities. (PAM 3-0502-03).

[Audio] Mechanized Infantry Company is employed to fight in conventional and other types of operations. They are subordinate commands that perform major tactical operations as part of a large operation. Regardless of the threat and environment, the key to victory is to impose the unit's will on the enemy by forcing it to conform to the unit's desired end state. This requires identifying the decisive point and synchronizing the efforts of maneuver units, maneuver support, sustainment, and other available combat power in support of the unit's effort. Mechanized Infantry Company may be organized as follows:.

[Audio] The roles of mech coy mechanized infantry company are to support and protect infantry, armor, and other arms and services and to carry out mobile operations (PAM 3-02, Armor Operations, 2017). The Company Commander may task organize the company team to fight in conventional and other types of operations. The mech platoon performs major tactical operations, secures its area of operations, and conducts operations regardless of the threat and environment. 0107. Reconnaissance. Mechanized Infantry Company can undertake limited reconnaissance tasks ranging from a medium reconnaissance in open terrain to a close reconnaissance in close terrain. They can perform both mounted and dismounted reconnaissance. 0108. Protection. Mechanized Infantry Company may be employed to protect a formation. This is achieved by deploying units to give early warning of the enemy's approach. They can also delay the enemy if required, provided they have the necessary fire support. Infantry support is crucial in imposing a significant delay by night or in close combat. 0109. Offensive Tasks. Mechanized Infantry Company can harass and raid a strong enemy. They can contain or destroy a lightly equipped guerilla or a disorganized enemy. They may be employed: As part of a covering force: an advance guard, a screening force, a flank guard, or a rear guard. As part of a counter-penetration force As part of a counter-attack force To secure obstacles and defile ahead of an advancing force 0110. Pursuit. Mechanized Infantry Company is well equipped for pursuit, particularly in relatively open terrain, because of its mobility, flexibility, and firepower. 0111. Support of Infantry. Mechanized Infantry Company can give close fire support to light infantry units. However, IFVs need covering fire to neutralize anti-tank weapons, and an infantry escort to destroy anti-tank weapons may be required to supplement the assault troopers in close terrain..

[Audio] The mechanized infantry company operations are conducted in line with the Counter Insurgency (COIN) Strategy of the Army and may conduct Internal Security Operations (ISO) independently or in a joint headquarters with the police or other peacekeeping units. Other Operations are;.

Section IV. Capabilities and Limitations. Capabilities Provide an armored base of fire and maneuver elements. Seize and hold terrain. Repel enemy assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack. Participate in amphibious operations. Maneuver in all types of local weather and less restricted terrain. Capitalize on armored mobility and protection. Conducts combat operations under limited visibility. Participate in ISO..

Section IV. Capabilities and Limitations. The high consumption rate of Class III, V, and IX. Dependency on Forward Support Company's (FSC) logistics packages to maintain continuous operations. Lack of organic mortars. Built-up areas, dense woods, and other restricted terrain reduce the mobility of IFVs. Existing or reinforcing obstacles can restrict or reduce IFV mobility. IFVs pose various challenges in the gap (wet and dry) crossing operations. (The company may need help finding adequate fording sites or a bridge with good weight classification.).

Section V. Duties and Responsibilities. This section describes the duties and responsibilities of key personnel. It describes the basics of key personnel..

Chapter II. THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS.

[Audio] This thus denies and defeats the enemy forces in any battlespace they may be utilized. Planning and preparing for the next operation and for follow-on operations occur simultaneously with the execution of the current action. Applying these fundamentals will create an advantage in the battle for our mechanized infantry company units..

Surprise Concentration Tempo Audacity. CHAPTER II : THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS.

[Audio] In the five forms of Maneuver…The commander selects a form of maneuver as a foundation upon which to build a course of action.

[Audio] In Preparation time is also used to conduct pre-combat checks and inspections, rehearsals at all levels, and CSS activities Execution generally consists of the following four sequential events; Movement to the Line of Departure Approach to the Objective Actions on the Objective Consolidation and Reorganization Follow-On Missions.

[Audio] in this Section discussed about the different kinds of movement techniques used during offensive operation the following are traveling, traveling overwatch, and bounding overwatch which also discussed in the Mech Inf operation manual..

Chapter III. THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY DEFENSIVE OPERATIONS.

[Audio] Purpose of Defense Defeat or destroy an attacking enemy Increase the enemy's vulnerability by forcing him to concentrate his forces Gain time Deny enemy entry into an area or retain terrain e. Economize forces in one area to apply decisive force elsewhere Prepare to resume the offensive Develop favorable conditions for offensive actions Reduce the enemy's capability for offensive operations.

[Audio] The following general sequence of operations applies to planning and executing all defensive operations: occupation and establishment of security; preparation and continued security operations; security area engagement; main battle engagement; and follow-on missions.

CHAPTER III : THE MECHANIZED INFANTRY COMPANY DEFENSIVE OPERATIONS.

[Audio] AREA DEFENSE concentrates on denying an enemy force access to designated terrain for a specific time..

[Audio] concentrates on the destruction or defeat of the enemy through decisive counterattack. The focus is on defeating or destroying the enemy by allowing him to advance to a point where he is exposed to a decisive counterattack by the striking force.

[Audio] is a type of defensive operation that involves organized movement away from the enemy..

[Audio] is a type of defensive operation that involves organized movement away from the enemy..

[Audio] The mechanized infantry company commander maximizes the use of his troops and IFVs to occupy defensive position before the obstacles..

[Audio] In the context of mechanized infantry company holding an area of operation that needs to be secured and defended by the enemy attack, perimeter defense is pertinent in this situation..

[Audio] An alternative to defending on the forward slope of a hill or a ridge is to defend on a reverse slope..

Chapter IV. Other Mechanized Infantry Company Tactical Operations.

[Audio] In this chapter discusses about other mechanized infantry company operations in different battle grounds/scenarios. It gives the company commander the understanding about complexity of the operation..

[Audio] Whenever possible, joining forces exchange as much information as possible before starting an operation. The headquarters ordering the link-up establishes:.
