Which graphic control measure is listed for route reconnaissance?

• A. SP
• B. HP
• C. Rally Point
• D. Bridge

Answer: (A)

Graphic control measures for route reconnaissance use an anchor point that marks where the recon begins. The Starting Point provides that fixed reference, letting you plot the route from a known location, measure distances to turning points or landmarks, and keep the team aligned as the survey proceeds. It establishes a common orientation and ensures everyone starts from the same spot, reducing confusion during execution. Rally Point is for regrouping after movement, not for initiating the route survey. A Bridge identifies a terrain feature along the route but isn’t used as the planning anchor. A Holding Point is used to stop or stage during movement, not to anchor the initial reconnaissance plan.
