Step 2. Time period RSR is to be established for.
Inactive....................................................... 24 days
Attack of position
First day ................................ 1 day
Succeeding days................... 3 days
Fifth day ................................ 1 day
Protracted period................... 10 days
Period greater than 15 days .. 6 days
Total number of days............. 21 days
Time period for RSR................................... 45 days
Step 4. Mission of designated force:
Inactive for 24 days
Attack of position 21 days
Step 5. Level of Operation:
Inactive = light
Attack of position = moderate
Table 2 shows how to compute required supply rates for an inactive situation.
To compute the rate for an inactive situation we take the protracted period rate for 4.2-inch mortar
with a level of operation of light and multiply it by .80:
.80 x 18 = 14.4 or 15 (there is no .4 round)
Table 2. Inactive Situation.
Table 3 shows how to compute attack of position.
Table 4 shows how to compute periods greater than 15 days.
Table 5 shows the total rate authorization.
Required supply rate = 31.577 rounded up = 32
