II. INTRODUCTION:
A. Greetings!!!!!
Gentlemen and Ladies a pleasant day on each and everyone. Please
allow me first to introduce my self; I’m SGT Leo H. Cadavos Jr, Presently
Residing at Mandaue, Cebu City, As of now, I’m taking up Bachelor of Science
major in Religious Education at Baptist Theological. We all know that we all know
that we have big opportunity and honor to be the part of this training, and also in
the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as well.
As we all observe on our Philippines area of responsibility, the
insurgences were not totally vanished & down. There are still ambush accidents
happening and that’s what will be our subject matter for today “ambush Cades”.
Teamwork is particularly important in military operation where its presence
or lack of its may spell the difference between victory and defeat. Everybody
learn since of obligation to himself and to his group, to his superior and to the
entire organization where the belongs. They also realize that he is a member of
the team, organized, trained and equipped for the purpose of engaging and
defeating the enemies of the state.
B. Motivation
At the end of the lesson the students will be ask a question for they learn
the subject, after examination should be follow.

III. BODY
A.OBJECTIVES
-To equip the ROTC Cadets with the maximum knowledge regarding on
Ambush Operations.
- To be able to pass the subject matter to be used in times of need.
- To immerse themselves in soldiers experiences in battle fields.
Ambush is a sudden or surprise attack from a concealed position upon a
moving or a temporarily-halted enemy force. Surprise is the key to success. Best
results are achieved by ambush patrols that are sent deep behind lines where
the enemy’s security is lax.
Types of Ambush
1. Deliberate Point Ambush - In a point ambush, soldier deploy to attack
enemy in a single kill zone. The platoon leader should consider the following
sequence of actions when planning a deliberate point ambush.
a. The security or surveillance team should be positioned first. The
support element should be in position before the assault element mores forward
of the release point. The support element must over watch the movement of the
assault element into position.
b. The platoon leader is the lesson of the assault element. He must
check each soldier on they establish the assault position. He signals the
surveillance team to rejoin the assault element.
2. Deliberate Area Ambush - in an area ambush, the elements are
deployed in two (2) or more related point ambush. The platoon leader should
consider the following sequence of actions when planning a deliberate area
ambush:
a. The platoon is the smallest unit to conduct on area ambush.
Platoons conduct area ambushes where enemy movement is largely restricted to
trails or streams.
b. The platoon leader should select one principal ambush site
around which he organize outlaying ambushes.
These secondary sites are located along the enemy’s most likely approach
to an escape from the principal ambush site. Squad- size elements are normally
responsible for each site.
c. The platoon leader - must determine the best employed of his
machine guns, he normally position them both with the support elements of the
principal site.
d. Squads - are responsible for outlying ambushes and do not
initiate their ambush until the enemy escapes or reinforce.
Ambush is the guerilla form of attack. It based on through intelligence,
detailed planning and executed with surprise shrewdness, and violent
determination.
Categories of Ambush:
1. Hasty ambush - is an ambush conducted when it makes visual contact
with an enemy force and there is no time to plan to establish an ambush. The
actions for a hasty ambush must be well rehearsed so that the ambushers knows
what to do on the leader’s signal of attach or same is through when compromise.
2. Deliberate ambush - an ambush conducted against a specific target at
a predetermined location and the commander has enough time to plan to
establish the ambush. The leader requires detailed information in planning a
deliberate ambush such as:
a. Size & composition of the targeted
b. Weapon & equipment available to the enemy.
c. Times that the targeted unit will reach or pass specified points
along the route.
Planning Considerations:
1. Covering the entire killing zone by fire.
2. Using existing or reinforce obstacles (claymores and other mines).
3. Protecting the assault and support elements by using security elements
to isolate the killing zone.
4. Timing the actions of all elements of the ambushers to preclude loss of
surprise.
Mission:
Ambush performs such mission as ambushing enemy carrying parties,
patrols, wire repair crews, enemy reconnaissance patrols, sentinels moving to
their outpost positions, and vehicle and foot elements. These patrols are not
assigned general ambush missions. Successful ambush patrols require a specific
mission based on detailed knowledge of the enemy.
Ambushes are executed to reduce the enemy’s combat effectiveness by
harassment or destruction. Guerrilla operations conducted deep inside enemy’s
rear areas may result in the concentration by the enemy of the majority of his
movement in principal routes of communication where such targets become more
vulnerable to attack by such forces. Another result is the increase in the combat
effectiveness of the guerrilla force.
1. Harassment - The damage caused by harassment from frequent
ambushes is less apparent than the physical destruction wrought, but
nevertheless very important. When ambushes are staged more frequently
against all types of hostile targets, the enemy tends to be more reluctant to send
combat in convoys or in small groups, especially if these enemy forces are in the
rear acting as security troops. Consequently, they lose their aggressiveness and
become more defensive- minded. Some times, they will try to avoid conducting
night operation because they tend to become more confuse and more panicky.
2. Destruction – The loss of men and equipment has a critical effect on
the part of the enemy. In widespread guerrilla operations, the enemy will be
prompted to divert his force from missions in order to protect his rear areas. The
interference with, and the ultimate destruction of, hostile reconnaissance and
combat patrols will result in the non – accomplishment of the patrol mission, thus
depriving him of valuable intelligence information so necessary to effectively
combat the guerillas.
Preparation for an ambush:
The most important single factor to consider is the selection of the ambush
site. Choosing the ambush site is influenced by the following:
1. Mission. The ambush site should be ideally suited for the conduct of a
single mission action, or a series of actions.
2. Enemy. One should consider the probable size, strength, or
composition of the hostile force to be ambushed. One must also know the likely
combat formations the enemy uses, and his reinforcement capabilities.
3. Terrain. The ambush site should be on a vantage point that provides
clear fields of fire and observation, good cover and concealment, and good
routes of withdrawal.
Conducting an Ambush:
On the arrival of the enemy force at the ambush at the ambush site, the
ambush patrol delivers heavy volume of fire that should be able to totally
annihilate them, or exact a heavy toll on his ranks. The volume of fire delivered
should not allow the enemy to fire back and maneuver his forces in an attempt to
overrun the ambush positions.
All points of entry and escape should be fully covered by automatic
weapons fire. This should prevent the enemy from making retaliatory moves
against the patrol, or by escaping from the scene with a minimum casualty toll.
As much as possible, the ambush patrol should use all automatic weapons and
other fire power sources at its disposal in order to inflict maximum damage to the
enemy. Assault against the enemy should not be resorted to and physical contact
should also be avoided.
Then as rapidly and quietly as possible, the ambush patrol withdraws to
pre- designated rallying points for reorganization. If the enemy is not totally
annihilated, care must be taken that the withdrawing ambush party should have
adequate rear security to impede or harass enemy reaction forces to make a
successful pursuit. Escape from the ambush site can best be accomplished by
breaking down the whole ambush patrol into one- men or two men teams and
regroup at a rallying point.
Ambush Formation
1. Linear formation – in an ambush using a linear formation, the assault
and support elements are deployed parallel to the enemy’s route, This formation
can be used a closed terrain that restrict the enemy ‘s ability to maneuver against
the ambusher or in open terrain that provide a means of keeping the enemy in
the zone.
2. Compromise - an ambush in which the assault elements forms the
long leg to the enemy’s direction of the movement along the killing zone, while
the support elements forms the short leg at one end of and right angle to the
assault elements. This formation can be used in a sharp bend in trail, road or
steam. It should not be used where the short leg would have to across a straight
road or tail because it leaves a mark or traces that compromise the ambush.
