Survey of Current Doctrine, Training, and Special Considerations for Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT).

Abstract

The authors have determined that numerous researchable problems exist in the MOUT area; most notable are: (1) There is a need for an updated doctrinal review; (2) An optimum map scale for mout operation needs to be determined; (3) Incorporation of live fire training should be explored; (4) Urban terrain analysis needs more emphasis; (5) A detailed task analysis of mount needs to be conducted; (6) The use of multiple integrated laser engagement system (miles) equipment should be expanded; (7) The role of snipers needs to be more closely examined; (8) The need exists for developing command post and field MOUT scenarios; (9) Related training without the use of a MOUT facility needs identification and emphasis; (10) Weapons which are suitable for mout need to be identified; (11) The equipment needs of the individual soldier should be evaluated; and (12) The use of simulation may be a cost-effective alternative training method.
