STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: The U.S. Army cannot construct an Isolated Personnel Initial Location Control Measure. The U.S. Army (and Services) has been using the “Downed Aircrew Pick-Up Point symbol” (Symbol Set Code: 25, Code 180300) to attempt to depict this control measure, but it doesn’t adequately portray the information needed. The U.S. Army needs this control measure to effectively identify the initial location of an individual, or a group of individuals and the time “Personal Location Beacon” emitted transmission.
This identified military symbol gap is currently not permitting the U.S. Army to properly differentiate “Isolated Personnel Initial Location” from a “Downed Aircrew Pick-Up Point”. Not being able to differentiate this unique action from a “Downed Aircrew Pick-Up Point” can cause confusion when creating doctrine organization structures, course of action sketches, overlays, or populating the common operation picture.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Establish an Isolated Personnel Initial Location control measure that can be used with additional information field (H), and a DTG field (W-W2) to effectively identify the number of individuals and the time “Personal Location Beacon” emitted transmission.
