Fundamental survey operations OPERATIONS ACTIONS Planning Receive Commander’s guidance. Conduct map and ground reconnaissance. Formulate survey plan, and issue orders detailing the following: Accuracies. Time to finish. IPADS and IPADS-G requirements. Priorities of Survey. Logistics. Future requirements. Alternate plan. Coordination Ensure communications requirements are met and survey data are available where and when needed to include the following: Higher headquarters. Adjacent headquarters. Survey information. S-2 and S-3. Commanders. Lower headquarters. Fieldwork Establish and mark survey control points. Provide IPADS or IPADS-G update points. Provide update points for stabilization reference package/position-determining system. Establish position and azimuth for all FA systems requiring survey control. Turning angles. Record and sketch field data. Supervise and or synchronize IPADS or IPADS-G. Ensure crypto keys are loaded in the GPS. Computations Compute direction. Compute horizontal and vertical location. Convert to common control. Transform data between grid zones and datums. Legend: GPS—global positioning system IPADS—improved position and azimuth determining system IPADS-G—improved position and azimuth determining system-global positioning system S-2—intelligence staff officer S-3—operations staff officer 1-16. Survey planning begins with understanding the maneuver commander's intent and receiving further guidance from the FA commander, S-3, and FSO. Then a thorough map and ground reconnaissance (recon) is conducted. Using the IPADS or IPADS-G, ground reconnaissance and survey operations are conducted concurrently. During planning, full consideration is given to the following:  FA battalion commander’s concept of operation (support to maneuver operation).  Priorities.  Tactical situation.  Operational datum and survey control available.  Desired accuracy.  Number of installations.  Terrain.  Weather.  Personnel.  Time available.
