Squad vehicles move into position at start row markers and prepare to lay mines. The sapper team lays mines on the ground at the required spacing. If an IOE is required, the Row A team emplaces the IOE concurrently with Row A and at the same spacing. After the IOE short row is laid, Vehicle 1 returns to Row A and continues laying mines. After all the mines are laid, the arming party moves behind the vehicle and arms the mines.
Personnel remove temporary markers and replace start and end row markers with permanent markers.
The arming party must be distinguishable from everyone else. The last member of the arming party should wear a colored vest or carry a specific colored chem-light. No one is allowed behind the last member of the arming party. Vehicle 1 moves down Row A and lays mines until the laying leader directs it to stop. He lays mines to within 15 meters of Vehicle 1.
