It must achieve overwhealming fire supperiority at the moment of contact. This fire supperiority must be placed accurately. The Sniper and Spotter should eliminate enemy targets in the following order - Leadership, Communications, Heavy Weapons, Troops. Heavy weapons should concentrate on suppressing enemy heavy weapons, and destroying enemy infantry. The RTO must coordinate with the sniper and spotter for accurate support. The Infantry should eliminate any target they can see, and use suppressive fire to advance to get more accurate shots.
Following the attack, the SaR team should retreat leaving confusion among the enemys. The assault should not be a protracted attack. SaR teams tend to attack enemy teams that are far larger. SaR teams must fight a series of smaller battles against the enemy, rather than one larger battle.
