Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of the squad leader during combat?

The role of the squad leader in combat primarily revolves around directing the actions of the squad, ensuring effective movement, and maintaining effective fire control. Fire control involves managing the squad’s firepower to effectively engage the enemy while tactical employment focuses on how the squad is organized and deployed in various combat situations.

Fire discipline is essential for maintaining the overall effectiveness of the squad's fire, ensuring that all members engage the enemy when appropriate and refrain from unnecessary firing, which conserves ammunition and maintains operational security.

Logistical planning, while crucial to overall mission success, generally falls under the responsibility of higher command echelons or specialized roles within the unit, rather than the squad leader. While a squad leader might provide input or assist in logistical considerations, the primary logistics planning responsibility does not directly align with their combat-focused tasks, which primarily emphasize leadership, tactics, and fire management.
