PrefaceThis publication serves as a doctrinal guide forcommanders and subordinate leaders of both light (HMMWVequipped) and heavy (M1 and M3 equipped) cavalry troops.Heavy cavalry troops are found in Armored CavalryRegiments (ACR), in Armor/Mechanized Divisions, and inSeparate Armor/Mechanized Brigades. Light cavalry troopsare found in Light Armored Cavalry Regiments (LACR), inLight Infantry Divisions, and in Separate Light InfantryBrigades.Although FM 17-97 does not specifically address the TOEof the Light Division Cavalry Troop or the troops of aSeparate Heavy or Light Brigade, the tactics, techniques, andprocedures outlined in this publication still apply.This publication lays out the organization, command andcontrol, tactical employment, and service support of thecavalry troop in combat. It establishes the responsibilitiesand duties of key personnel in the troop during combat.FM 17-97 is one of three publications in the cavalry troopfamily. It provides troop leaders with a doctrinal reference tolink training and fighting. ARTEP 17-487-30-MTP, MissionTraining Plan for the Regimental Armored Cavalry Troop,outlines how to train the troop. FKSM 17-97-3, Cavalry TroopCommon SOP, describes troop operating procedures. Thisfamily of publications supports FM 17-15, Tank Platoon;FM 7-91, Tactical Employment of Antiarmor Platoons,Companies, and Battalions; and FM 17-98, Scout Platoon.vii

Article I.Chapter 1Section 1.01IntroductionThe role of the cavalry troop in Army operations remainsunchanged from the traditional role of cavalry throughout thehistory of warfare. The troop is organized, equipped, andtrained to protect and preserve the fighting ability of othercombined arms forces. While its primary missions arereconnaissance and security, the cavalry troop may be calledupon to execute attack, defend, and delay missions as partof squadron and regimental missions. The troopaccomplishes its missions by communicating, moving, andshooting in that order.The purpose of this chapter is— To depict organizations of the cavalry troop in—Heavy Troop: The Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) (M1 and M3equipped). The Heavy Division Cavalry Squadron (M1 and M3equipped).Light Troop: The Light Armored Cavalry Regiment (LACR)(HMMWV equipped).ContentsPageSection I.Section II.Section III.I-1Organizations . 1-2Missions, Capabilities, and Limitations . 1-16Responsibilities . 1-18

(c)Section II. Missions, Capabilities, andLimitations(I) MISSIONSHeavy and light cavalry troops perform reconnaissanceand security missions to protect and preserve the fightingability of the units to which they are assigned or attached.Both troops also conduct offensive, defensive, andretrograde operations in an economy-of-force role. Cavalrytroops in general have limitations and capabilities associatedwith their TOEs and METT-T that must be considered whenemploying them in a specific mission role (see Figure 1-15).Hvy TrpLt TrpReconnaissance Missions Hasty AttackAttackMovement to ContactDefensive Missions Defend a Battle PositionDefend in SectorRetrograde Missions Route ReconZone ReconArea ReconSecurity MissionsScreenArea SecurityConvoy SecurityEconomy-of-Force RoleOffensive MissionsDelay fully capable capable when reinforced capable under permissive METT-Ta) Figure 1-15.

(II) CAPABILITIESa)The heavy cavalry troop is a unit that can bedeployed by rail, sea, or both into a theater ofoperations. It can perform its missions under allvisibility conditions and in any terrain thatsupports heavy armor movement. Theintegrated thermal sights on the M1A1 tank andM3 CFV along with ancillary passive night sightsand night vision devices authorized to the troopprovide an outstanding nighttime/reducedvisibility acquisition and fighting capability.Additionally, the firepower and survivabilityorganic to the heavy cavalry troop allow it toexecute missions aggressively across thespectrum of warfare.The light cavalry troop is a unit that can be rapidlydeployed by air, rail, or sea into a theater of operations. It canperform its missions under all visibility conditions and in anyterrain that supports wheeled vehicle movement. Theancillary thermal and night vision devices authorized to thetroop provide an excellent reduced visibility acquisitioncapability. However, the light cavalry troop’s ability to fightunder reduced visibility conditions is limited because of itslack of integrated passive and thermal sights on stabilizedweapons platforms.(III)(IV) LIMITATIONSa)I-19Given suitable terrain conditions, the ability ofheavy and light cavalry troops to accomplishtheir assigned missions is mainly limited by thesize and strength of threat forces encountered.Both troops are limited in close terrain,especially urban environments, due to theirlimited number of dismounted scouts. Also, thetroops are dependent on their parent squadronsand regiments for additional combat support(CS) and combat service support (CSS) assets.

He supervises radiological monitoring,chemical detection, and decontamination operations. Heassists in maintaining NBC equipment and training NBCequipment operators and decontamination teams.I-23

Chapter 2Battle CommandBattle command is the art of battle decision making,leading and motivating soldiers and their organizations intoaction to accomplish missions. Battle command includesvisualizing the current state and the future state, thenformulating concepts of operations to get from one state tothe other at least cost. Other functions of battle commandinclude assigning missions; prioritizing and allocatingresources; selecting the critical time and place to act; andknowing how and when to make adjustments during the fight.Instantaneous response to orders is the hallmark ofeffective battle command in any cavalry operation. Leadersmust quickly analyze information, make tactical decisions,and turn those decisions into successful battlefield actions.Battle command of cavalry units is typically decentralizeddue to the size of the area of operations, vagueness of theenemy situation, and terrain unknowns. This places theburden of sound, timely decision making at the lowest levels.Leaders must develop a keen sense of situational awarenessand constantly track the actions of subordinate units as wellas those to the front, flank, and rear.ContentsPageSection I.

Effective battle command begins in the planning phaseand continues through the execution phase of each mission.This chapter outlines the tools and techniques a troopcommander needs to effectively command and control acavalry troop in combat.Section I. Troop Leading ProceduresThe nine troop leading procedures are— Receive and analyze the mission.Issue a warning order.Make a tentative plan.Start necessary movement.Conduct a reconnaissance.Make final decisions and complete the plan.Issue an operations order.Rehearse.Supervise and refine.RECEIVE AND ANALYZE THE MISSIONThe troop commander will receive missions fromsquadron in the form of written, briefed, or radioed operationorders (OPORD) and fragmentary orders (FRAGO). Uponreceipt of a mission, he will conduct a mission analysis todetermine the who, what, when, where, and why elements ofthe mission and how much time is available until missionexecution.Mission. The mission analysis must identify the following: Specified tasks.Implied tasks.Essential tasks.Intent of the higher commander.Any constraints or limitations.2-2

The items for analysis are derived from the squadronorder as noted below. Paragraph 2, MISSION. Mission Statement. Paragraph 3, EXECUTION. Concept of the Operation. Commander’s Intent. Maneuver. Specific Instructions. Coordinating Instructions. Execution matrixes. Thorough map reconnaissance.List all specified and implied tasks not covered by unitSOP in a mission list. Identify those tasks that are vital to thesquadron accomplishing its mission. These are essentialtasks. Put the essential tasks in the form of a restatedmission for the troop. The restated mission statement shouldbe short and simple, and should cover who, what, when,where, and why.One final note on this—keep the mission list at hand. Itmakes the job easier when preparing a course of action andassigning missions or tasks to platoons and sections.Time. Because time is usually the most limited resourceavailable, it must be used as efficiently as possible. Figureout what has to be done and what can be done in the timeavailable. Use the backwards planning process to determinewhen critical events in the planning process must occur andstick to the timeline developed. Get the timeline out tosubordinates in the warning order. Strive to use no more thanone-third of the time available in the planning process attroop level. The remaining two-thirds is for subordinateleaders to plan and prepare.2-3

Consider the following in terms of time when conductingmission analysis and preparing the troop warning order: Combat service support. Precombat inspections. Route reconnaissance (time/distance factors): Assembly area to route start point. Start point to command posts. Command posts to release point. Release point to line of departure. Subordinate’s planning time. Platoon rehearsals: Battle drill rehearsals. Actions on contact. Obstacle breaching/emplacement. Movement formations.Note. The preparatory actions above are triggered by receiptof a warning order at platoon level. Time to issue troop OPORD.Note. One-third of the available time includes the time ittakes to issue the troop OPORD. Troop rehearsals: Backbriefs. Rock drills. Radio rehearsals. Time to move from— Assembly area to line of departure. Phase line to phase line. Line of departure to objective. Effect of weather on movement.2-4

Once the mission and time available have been analyzed,move to the next step in the trooping leading procedures.ISSUE A WARNING ORDERIssue the warning order promptly. Elements of thewarning order include— Situation.Mission.Earliest time of movement.Time and place of OPORD.Attachments and detachments.Actions triggered: Security. Reconnaissance. Combat service support actions. Precombat inspections. Sleep plans. Rehearsals.MAKE A TENTATIVE PLANDevelop a course of action (COA). Consider the factors ofMETT-T when developing two, or better yet, three separateCOAs. Mission. See Receive and Analyze the Missionparagraph on page 2-2. Time. In addition to the factors mentioned in theReceive and Analyze the Mission paragraph on page 2-2, thecommander should consider the following details in relationto time when developing his tentative plan. Time to move from—Line of departure to phase lines.Phase line to phase line.Line of departure to objective.2-5

Time for enemy to—Attack.Counterattack.Reinforce. Effect of weather on movement and identification offriend or foe. Effect of NBC operations on movement. Enemy. Conduct intelligence preparation of thebattlefield (IPB). IPB integrates enemy doctrine with weatherand terrain to determine and evaluate enemy capabilities,vulnerabilities, and probable courses of action. IPB is a keypart of preparing for battle. Much of the IPB workup can befound in Paragraph 1 of the squadron OPORD. Terrain. Analyze terrain in the area of operations.Consider the factors of OCOKA. (Arranged here in a morelogical, systematic approach, based on IPB procedures andpreparation of the modified combined obstacle overlay[MCOO].) Obstacles. Identify all obstacles and restricted andseverely restricted terrain throughout the sector or zone (aterrain sketch may be beneficial). Consider the following asobstacles: Water.Power lroads.Existing engineer obstacles.Wooded areas.Terrain that flows around, or in some instances through orover, the obstacles identified is the primary maneuvercorridor, or avenue of approach.2-6

Avenues of Approach. Consider the following foreach avenue of approach: What size force does it support? In whatformation? Does it support long range observation andfields of fire? From where? Does it provide any cover and concealment?Where? Where does it lead?Through sector/zone?Enters/exits a flank?The answers to these questions will help determine whatterrain, if any, is key terrain. Key Terrain. Key terrain is that terrain which controlover would provide a clear advantage over another force.Seizing, securing, or even avoiding key terrain in sector/zonewill figure prominently in the final plan. Identify what terrain iskey and evaluate it in terms of observation and fields of firealong each avenue of approach. Observation/Fields of Fire. Evaluate all terrain alongthe avenues of approach in terms of observation and fields offire. Determine the following: What terrain provides the best observation ofcritical areas or along avenues of approach?At night?When visibility is obscured by smoke orfog? What terrain offers effective range of friendly andenemy weapon systems? What terrain provides the best fields of fire? Forwhat size force?2-7
