Appendix A A-20 ATP 3-09.42 1 March 2016 Table A-4. Scatterable minefield report instructions Line Information Required Instructions 1 Approving authority Enter the approving authority; for example, CDR 51ID 2 Target or obstacle If the minefield is part of an obstacle plan, enter the obstacle number (such as 51XX0157, which represents 51ID, target number 157). If the minefield is not a part of an obstacle plan or does not have a number, then leave this line blank or enter NA. 3 Type emplacing system Enter the type of system that emplaced the minefield; for example, Volcano, artillery, or rotary wing emplaced scattering mine system. 4 Type mines Enter AP for antipersonnel mines or AT for antitank mines. If both are used, enter AP/AT. 5 Self-destruct period Enter the time period in which the minefield will self-destruct. 6-14 Aimpoint or corner points of minefield If the system emplacing the minefield uses a single aimpoint to deliver the mines, enter that aimpoint; for example, MB10102935. If the system has distinct corner points, as does GEMSS, enter those corner points; for example, MB17954790, MB18604860, MB18504890, MB18054895, MB17804850. 15 Size of safety zone from aimpoint If an aimpoint is given in line 6, enter the size of the safety zone from that aimpoint. For example, if artillery emplaces a minefield from aimpoint MB10102935 and the safety zone is 1,000 by 1,000 meters, enter 500 meters so that personnel plotting or receiving the information can plot the coordinate and then plot the safety zone 500 meters in each direction from the aimpoint. 16 Unit emplacing mines and report number Enter the unit emplacing the mines and the report number; for example, B Battery, 6-14 FA-4 (Reports are numbered consecutively.) This would be the fourth minefield that Battery B, 6-14 Field Artillery Battalion has emplaced. 17 Person completing report Enter the name of the person completing the report; for example, SFC Doe. 18 Date-time group of report Enter the date-time group of the report; for example, 160735ZJul15. 19 Remarks Enter any other items the reporting unit may consider important. AP – antipersonnel artiy – artillery GEMSS – ground emplaced mine scattering system
