Course 052-12B30-C45 (DL) - Phase 1 - COMBAT ENGINEER ALC - FY24 Test PE - C05: Conduct a River Reconnaissance Practical Exercise Started 12/3/23 9:31 PM Submitted 12/3/23 9:41 PM Status Completed Attempt Score 100 out of 110 points Time Elapsed 9 minutes Instruction s Overall Scenario: On a mobility mission, your unit approaches a river to be crossed. Before your forces can cross the gap, a river reconnaissance must be completed to identify essential information to ensure a safe and successful gap crossing. You are responsible for collecting the river information to support operational planning and movement including gap width, depth of the water, steam velocity, bank slopes, soil composition, and any potential obstacles. In addition to conducting the reconnaissance, you must complete and submit DD Form 3016. Conduct a River Reconnaissance Overview: A River Reconnaissance is conducted to support engineer activities by identifying sites that may be suitable for military rafting, bridging, fording or swimming. The detailed technical information collected during the river reconnaissance is recorded on DD Form 3016. Identifying the characteristics of water- crossing points along the line of advance is critical to ensure the mobility of the force. Tactical commanders and their staff use information gathered during River Reconnaissance to plan for and ensure the proper equipment and task organizations are in place to maintain the momentum of the advance. River Reconnaissance Activities:  Collect river reconnaissance data  Prepare and submit DD Form 3016 References:  ATP 3-34.81, Engineer Reconnaissance, 01 March 2016  DD Form 3016, River Reconnaissance Report, 01 Feb 2016 Results Displayed Submitted Answers, Feedback, Incorrectly Answered Questions  Question 1 0 out of 10 points Activity 1: Collect river reconnaissance data. Scenario: On a mobility mission, your unit approaches a river to be crossed. Before your forces can cross the gap, a river reconnaissance must be completed to identify essential information to ensure a safe and successful gap crossing. Task 1 : Which of the following are tasks you must perform prior to beginning a river reconnaissance? Selected Answers: b. Measure river depth c. Conduct map reconnaissance of location

d. Determine river approaches Response Feedback: Incorrect. The correct answers are now displayed. It is recommended that you review the information to consider before you begin a river reconnaissance information to reinforce your knowledge in this area.  Question 2 10 out of 10 points Task 2 : Which of the following are desirable characteristics that may make a river suitable for military rafting, bridging, fording, or swimming? Selected Answers: a. Banks that permit loading without a great deal of preparation. b. Approaches that permit easy access and egress. d. Sites clear of mines and booby traps. f. Holding areas for vehicles awaiting passage. Response Feedback: Correct. Nice work, SSG. You selected the desirable characteristics that may make a river suitable for military rafting, bridging, fording, or swimming.  Question 3 10 out of 10 points Task 3 : You should measure the depth at __-meter intervals along the planned stream crossing route. Selected Answer: c. 3 Response Feedback: Correct. Nice work, SSG. You should measure the depth at 3-meter intervals along the planned stream crossing route.  Question 4 10 out of 10 points Task 4 : What is the approach slope of the river bank shown here? Selected Answer: d. 33% Response Feedback: Correct. Nice work, SSG. The approach slope for a river is calculated by dividing the height of the slope by the length of the slope times 100. In this case, 2m/6m x 100 = 33%.  Question 5 10 out of 10 points Task 5 : This soldier is measuring the velocity of the river. If the distance between point A and point B is 30 feet and the soldier drops a ball in the water that travels from him to point A in 4 seconds and then from point A to point B in 6 seconds, what is the velocity of the river?

Selected Answer: 5 ft/sec Response Feedback: Correct. Nice work, SSG. Velocity is the distance between A and B (30 feet) divided by the time it takes an object to float between them (6 seconds), in this instance that is 5 ft/second.  Question 6 10 out of 10 points Activity 2 : Prepare and submit DD Form 3016. Scenario : Collecting the data is important, but preparing and submitting the DD Form is how you’ll communicate the river reconnaissance data to higher headquarters. Your unit will not be able to move forward without accurate detailed reconnaissance information. Task 1: Which of the following information would go in the header field of DD Form 3016 shown here? Selected Answer: a. 20200801 Response Feedback: Correct. Nice work, SSG. The data of the reconnaissance goes in the Date Ordered field of DD Form 3016.  Question 7 10 out of 10 points Task 2 : Review the field notes your unit took down while conducting the river reconnaissance, then determine what information goes in the highlighted DD Form 3016 field shown below.
