SECTION AUR PLATOON FORMATIONS

 

SECTION AUR PLATOON FORMATIONS

 

 

Basic Consideration (Zaruri Baten)

 

1.        Section aur Platoon formation ko akhtiyar karte samay dhiyan mein rakhne wali batein :-

(a)       Zamin.

(b)       Task.

(c)       Location aur dushman se muthbher ka andesha.

(d)       Disha aur dushman ke fire ka prakar.

(e)       Suraksha ki awashyakta.

(f)        Command aur control.

(g)       Jaldi se jaldi adhik se adhik fire dalne ki kabiliyat.

 

2.        Support Group ko jahan tak ho sake open flank mein rakhna chaiye. Jawanon ke beech mein fasla kam se kam panch (5 mtr) hona chahiye. Aam taur par jawanon mein yeh aadat hoti hai ki fire aane par woh ikathha ho jate hain jisko nahin kiya jana chahiye. Groups mein duri aur individual ke beech ke duri zamin, samay chhupav jaise chizon par nirbhar karti hai.

 

Section and Platoon Formations

 

3.         Section aur platoon formation nimn hain:-

 

(a)       Single file.

(b)       File. 

(c)       Arrow head.                        

(d)       Diamond. 

(e)       Spear head. 

(f)        Extended line.

 

4.       Faide/nuqsan aur zamin ke prakar jisme alag-alag formations ko akhtiyar kia jata hai, niche diye gaye hain.

 

5.       Yeh buniyadi section formation hai aur har ek formation main LMG aur Rifle group ki jagah bataana Section Commander ki jimmewari hai. Ye group ke beech darmiyani fasla kam ya jyada kar sakte hai. Rifle group ko do (2) hisson mein bhi baant sakte hain.

 

Platoon Formations

 

6.    Platoon formations khaas taur par control ki zarurat aur Platoon commander apni platoon ko action mein kitni nafri ki jarurat par sakti hai, is baat par nirbhar karta hai. Yeh bhi gaur se dekhna hoga ki kis tarah se Platoon commander apne platoon ko Artyfire, hawai fire aur Mortar fire se bachata hai. Iske liye failav ki awashyakta hogi, parantu zyada failav se command aur control par kharab asar padega. Platoon formations is prakar hain:-

     

(a)        One up.

(b)        Two up.

(c)        Three up ya assault formation.

 

7.         Nimnlikhit formations ko vistarpurvak bataya gaya hai:-

 

(a)       One up.

 

(i)          Jarurat.  Is formation ko tab akhtiyar karte hain jab Platoon ko dushman ke loc malum na ho aur jab Platoon commander chahta hai ki uske paas mein zyada se zyada Platoon ka hissa rahe.

 

(ii)         Deployment ki suvidha.  Is formation mein yeh khas suvidha hoti hai ki Platoon Commander ke pass zyada se zyada jawan hote hain jinka istemal woh zarurat parne par kar sakta hai. Jab dushman ki location ka pata chal jata hai.

 

(b)       Two up.

 

(i)          Jarurat.  Jab platoon ne ek bara ilaqa ya chaura ilaka cover karna ho, ya phir attack ke dauran.

 

(ii)         Deployment ki suwidha.  ‘Two up' formation ‘One up' formation ke thik vipreet hoti hai. Is mein 02 section aage lead kar rahe hote hain aur ek section pichhe hota hai. Thora badlav zarurat ke mutabik kiya ja sakta hai.

 

(c)       Assault  Formations.

 

(i)          Jarurat.  Iska istemal us samay kiya jata hai jab Platoon Commander chahta hai ki zyada se zyada bayonet strength dushman ki location par ek saath pahunche.

 

(ii)         Deployment ki suvidha.  Assault ke dauran formation akhtiyar karne, frontage aur objective ki gahrai (depth) par nirbhar karegi.

       

(d)       Single File.  Jab Platoon ka rod/trenches se hokar gujrna ho tab aam taur par section ek ke piche ek hogi. Dhyan rahe ki section ke beech mein gap ho. Platoon headquarters ki location aam taur par No ek section ke pichhe hogi.

 

8.    Ek Platoon agar ek achhe aur dridh nishchay waale Platoon commander ke nichhe kam karta hai aur agar uske NCOs apne kam ke prati ruchi rakhte hain toh koi wajah nahi hai ki platoon apne har task mein kamyabi haasil na kare. Ek platoon mein kaafi fire karne ki kshamta hoti hai aur uska faida tabhi uthaya ja sakta hai jab har ek jawan zamin, cover ka sahi istemal aur anya minor tactics ki sikhlai ko amal mein laye.
