1. What training should be included during pre-infiltration?
a. Pre-infiltration training should include: MOS training, cross-training, special skills raining, Area orientation, and language training. Ensure that all administrative matters are complete and up to date.

2. What is infiltration?
a. The clandestine entrance of selected individuals, documents, or equipment into a hostile area

3. What is the primary objective of Infiltration?
a. To avoid contact with or detection by, the enemy

4. What are the four methods of Infiltration?
a. 1 Air, 2 Land, 3 Sea, 4 Stay Behind

5. What are the considerations when choosing a method of infiltration?
a. 1 Mission, 2 Enemy Situation, 3 Weather, 4 Topography, 5 Hydrography, 6 Personnel, 7 Accompanying Supplies, 8 Distance, 9 Available Equipment

6. What are the techniques of Air Delivery?
a. 1 Static Line, HALO, 3 HAHO, 4 Air Land

7. What are the advantages of Air Infiltration?
a. 1 Most practical and rapid means, 2 Flexible, 3 Speed and Accuracy of delivery, 4 Short exposure to enemy counter-measures, 5 Precise navigation, 6 capable of delivering supplies in excess of individual loads

8. What are the disadvantages of Air Infiltration?
a. 1 Vulnerable to detection or enemy air defense measures, 2 greatly affected by the weather, 3 possibility of personnel being injured or equipment being damaged, 4 requires specially trained air crews, 5required DZ sterilization

9. What are the considerations for air infiltration?
a. 1Drop Zones (selection and marking), 2 jump procedures, 3 reception committee, 4 Equipment and Supplies, 5 Control and assembly, 6 Emergency procedures

10. What are the desirable characteristics of the Aircraft?
a. 1Sufficent capability, 2 able to operate in all weather, altitude and darkness, 3 sophisticated navigational equipment, 5 sufficient combat radius and rapid re-fueling capability, 6 High altitude (on-board oxygen system) capable 7 Water land capable if necessary

11. What are the techniques of Water Infiltration?
a. 1 Surface craft, 2 Sub-surface craft, 3 Surface Swim, 4 SCUBA

12. What are the advantages of Water Infiltration?
a. Under seas craft is the most secure method and 2, surface craft is the most efficient, 3 long range delivery, 4 unaffected by weather up to the point of departure, 5 surface ships can carry large amounts of equipment, 7some fire support is likely, 8 immediate exfil is possible

13. What are the disadvantages of water infiltration?
a. 1 vulnerable to enemy shore defenses, 2 possible to lose equipment (with little hope of later recovery), 3 submarines have limited cargo capability, 4 slowest, 5 requires special training, 6 equipment must be waterproofed

14. What are the planning considerations of water infiltration?
a. 1 craft limitations, 2 equipment, supplies and reception, 3 ship to shore movement special equipment, 4 resupply, 5 conducting rehearsals, 6 disembarking techniques

15. What is the least preferred method of infiltration? Why?
a. Land Infiltration is the least preferred method because it 1 requires a lot of time, 2 places great stress on the ODA, 3 limited equipment can be carried in, 4 increased chance of enemy interdiction

16. What are the advantages of land infiltration?
a. 1 Requires the minimum in logistical support, 2 allows for area orientation and in-depth intelligence gathering, 3 time an movement are flexible, 4 minimum of inter-service coordination

17. What are the planning considerations for land infiltration?
a. Land infiltration is conducted very similarly to a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP), 2 guides, 3 border crossings – documents, security, points, 4 cover and concealment, 5 knowledge of laws and regulations, language and customs, 6 availability of automotive fuel and repair, 7 animal handling, care and feeding, 8 water and food increased requirements, 8 wear and tear.

18. What is Stay behind Infiltration?
a. A unit is in an area prior to the arrival of the hostile element and remains in place as the enemy sweeps over them

19. What are the advantages of stay behind infiltration?
a. 1 Operations may be pre-planned and rehearsed, 2 less support is required, 3 personnel are familiar with the area (targets), 4 a high degree of security exists, 5 cache’ may be pre-emplaced, 6 ODA get real world/real time intelligence

20. What are the disadvantages of Stay behind infiltration?
a. 1 close proximity to the enemy, 2 enemy activity during the attack, 3 enemy activity (round ups) during their consolidation phase, 4 communication restrictions, 5 movement restrictions, 6 betrayal

21. What is the ANGUS Report?
a. The Initial Entry Report. It must be submitted to the SFOB. It’s transmission signals the end of the Infiltration phase. Normally, it must be sent within 72 hours (Group SOP)

22. What are the critical information on the ANGUS Report?
a. 1 Location, 2 casualties, 3 contact with guerrillas, 4 strength of the guerrillas, 5 additional information

23. When planning infiltration (the Order Annex) what are the key portions?
a. 1 Route, 2 Infil site, 3 Assembly Plan, 4 Contact Plan, 5 Abort Plan, 6 Load Plan

24. What is exfiltration?
a. The clandestine extraction of personnel, documents or equipment from an operational area.

25. What are some possible reasons for conducting exfiltration?
a. 1 Mission completion, 2 seriously ill or wounded US personnel, 3 KIA, 4 exfil of critical knowledge possessed by guides, assets, enemy, 5 documents and or equipment , 6 on order

26. What are the three methods of exfiltration?
a. 1 air, 2 land, 3 water (Same as infil)

27. What are the two categories of air exfiltration?
a. 1 Air land – when an aircraft touches down for pick-up. Requires a prepared and marked LZ 2 Air Recovery System – Stabo, rope ladder, winch and penetrator, Fulton System

28. What are the considerations when planning air extraction?
a. 1 LZ easily identifiable, 2 Security, 3 Display proper recognition symbols, 4 allow space for aircraft to maneuver both in the air and on the ground, 5 critical timing, 6 must be a plan for alternative recovery sites and times.

29. What are the considerations when planning water extraction?
a. 1 Type of water craft available, 2 surf conditions and tides, 3 obstacles – manmade and natural, 4 communications, 5 errors in drift with swimmers and boats

30. Describe land exfiltration?
a. Land exfiltration is the least preferred; it is a “walk-out”.

31. What are the considerations when planning exfiltration by land?
a. 1 Enemy situation, 2 Friendly situation, 3 terrain, 4 weather, 5 passage points

32. Why is there no exfiltration planned when infiltration was by Stay behind?
a. Instead there will be a Link up
