In what situation might a patrol leader establish an additional rally point en route?

Establishing an additional rally point en route is a strategic decision that enhances the safety and coordination of the patrol. Situations may arise where the original rally point becomes less viable due to changing conditions in the operational environment. When suitable locations are identified, it's logical for a patrol leader to create an additional rally point to ensure that the team has a secure meeting spot that is more aligned with the current mission objectives and terrain advantages.

Identifying suitable locations could be influenced by factors such as improved concealment from enemy forces, better access to cover, or a more advantageous position to regroup and reassess the mission. This adaptability increases the effectiveness and responsiveness of the patrol to unforeseen challenges while in the field.

In contrast, discovering a new enemy base, low supplies, or being at a standstill do not inherently provide the same tactical advantage as identifying new locations for rally points. They might prompt changes in tactics or operational strategy but do not specifically highlight the rationale for moving the rally point.
