As the assault and support elements move into position, the security element keeps the patrol leader informed of all enemy action. It shoots only if detected or on the patrol leaderâs order. Once the assault starts, the security element prevents enemy entry into, or escape from, the objective area.

In Summary. Support groups are a great way to provide a service to the people your organization or initiative works with, without a huge investment of time or money. Moreover, running a support group is a good way to reach out and get people interested in the other things your organization or initiative does.icking the right person to lead your support group is of utmost importance. The group leader or facilitator opens and closes the meetings, sets the tone for the discussion, helps members learn how to listen and offer support to each other, and deals with any problems that come up during the meeting.
