6-62. The leader physically reconnoiters routes to select rally points whenever possible. He selects tentative points if he only can conduct a map reconnaissance. Routes are confirmed by the leader through actual inspection as the platoon moves through them. Rally points must—

• Be easy to recognize on the ground.
• Have cover and concealment.
• Be away from natural lines of drift.
• Be defendable for short periods.
