Foreword
This handbook examines the essential role that traffic control points (TCPs) play in
ongoing operations in Iraq today. TCPs are a critical control measure supporting a
unit’s overall force protection, movement control, and information operations. All
established TCPs must meet stringent force protection requirements, accomplish the
mission, and minimize chances for collateral damage against other coalition forces
and friendly Iraqi citizens. Soldiers must balance these requirements, while
simultaneously maintaining an ability to effectively communicate and interact with
the sheer volume of traffic.
The Iraqi operational environment is complex and often ambiguous. Reports from
theater clearly validate that leader decisions and Soldier actions at TCPs can have
both short and long term effects. They may also have strategic and international
repercussions. This handbook will discuss theater proven tactics, techniques, and
procedures (TTP) to mitigate these challenges in order to conduct successful TCP
operations and provides examples of current battle drills and recommended
equipment checklists. These TTP, battle drills, and checklists are based on lessons
learned by units in theater as they establish and equip TCPs and react to TCP
incidents throughout Iraq.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide Soldiers and leaders a guide to
employing effective and timely escalation of force policies within the rules of
engagement, while limiting collateral damage and maintaining force protection.
