Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2011, Vol 2011, Issue 3
Abstract
The article refers directly to issues connected with the current need of active participation and creating national structural and organizational solutions of anticipating character in operations other than war that finally involve the use of Route Clearance Teams (RCTs), including Route Clearance Packages (RCPs). This issue is crucial as contemporary use of American RCTs in the Polish Area of Responsibility in Afghanistan (ISAF) is conducted in conditions of growing threat of rebels’ (terrorists’) destructive activities who in the asymmetric operations use dangerous devices containing explosives such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) often combining their destructive striking power with gun, shell and RPG attacks. The identification of fundamental determinants to create RCPs (tactical- operational, environmental, and engineering - organizational teams) conducted in the characteristic organizational structure of RCP team, as well as their basic equipment and modes of operation allow perceiving this kind of solution in categories of new and similar to e.g. traffic engineering support unit - element of engineering troops but created mostly for the needs of operations other than war.
