Which item is a graphic control measure in route reconnaissance?

• A. RP
• B. LD
• C. Phase Lines
• D. Check Points

Answer: (A)

Graphic control measures are fixed reference points or lines drawn on the map to control and coordinate movement along a route during reconnaissance. A Rendezvous Point fits this role because it is a designated, known point along the route where units reassemble, report, or exchange information. Its location and purpose are depicted on the route map, providing a clear, visual reference for timing, deconfliction, and coordination as patrols move.

Phase lines, while also graphic and used to coordinate movement, serve broader operational phases rather than the specific route reconnaissance flow, and check points or LD refer to different types of control or tasks that aren’t the primary graphic reference used to synchronize a recon route.
