Add features to a beach landing plan.

To create a new plan, complete the following task and steps from the task list:

1. Identify Features
   • Capture Flanks – Identify the left and right limits of the beach landing. The left flank is on the left when facing the beach from the water, the right on the right-side when facing the beach from the water.
   • Capture Dense Vegetation - Identify vegetation features such as mangroves, bushes, brush, etc. that may pose a trafficability risk or provide limited cover or concealment to personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Trees – Identify tree features that may pose a trafficability risk or provide cover or concealment. Trees are more widely spread out than dense vegetation. Trees may also be used as rally points, and are seen from further distances than dense vegetation.
   • Capture Rock Outcrops – Identify rock outcrop features, or areas of rocks that pose a trafficability hazard. They may or may not be covered by alluvium and vegetation.
   • Capture Water Inundation Areas – Identify water inundation areas such as swamps, remnant water on the beach at time of imaging, or backbay (high tide/low tide) areas. These may pose a trafficability hazard, as they could bog down vehicles and personnel.
   • Capture Buildings – Identify buildings, or large structures that can be seen at some distance and are typically capable of housing or protecting people or vehicles. You will have an opportunity later to capture structures to mark items like docks, piers, platforms, etc.
   • Capture Structures – Identify structures, or built-up areas such as docks, piers, platforms, oil containers, shipping containers, etc. These may provide cover or concealment to for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Ice – Identify icy areas that may pose a trafficability hazard.
   • Capture Reefs – Identify reef areas that may pose a trafficability hazard. These are areas that not only are dangerous to navigate, but are ecologically significant and require environmental consideration.
   • Capture Roads – Identify road features such as trails, traverses, paths, roads, etc. that could increase trafficability for all beach traffic.
   • Capture Walls – Identify wall features that pose a risk to trafficability and helicopter operations; provide cover or concealment for personnel and vehicles, and security for facilities.
   • Capture Fences – Identify fence features that pose a risk to trafficability and helicopter operations. Fences are weaker than walls and may be driven through, but they may still provide limited cover or concealment for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Ditches – Identify ditch features that pose a risk to trafficability and helicopter operations; and may provide cover and concealment for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Cliffs – Identify cliff features that pose a risk to trafficability and helicopter operations. These are vertical, or near vertical, rock exposures formed as erosion landforms due to the processes of erosion and weathering that produce them. They may obstruct operations or provide cover, concealment, or key terrain for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Pipelines – Identify pipeline features that pose a risk to trafficability and helicopter operations. These are pipes for liquids such as oil, fuel, or water; and may obstruct operations or provide cover or concealment for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Miscellaneous Obstacles – Identify miscellaneous obstacles that pose a risk to a beach landing operation. Choose features such as ropes, poles, anchors, debris, tires; items that may pose a risk to trafficability or helicopter operations, and could provide limited cover or concealment for personnel and vehicles.
   • Capture Skipped Items – Identify area, line, or point features that were not captured earlier.
   • Capture Beach Exit(s) – Identify beach exit positions that identify the egress routes off the beach into the hinterland.
