Blood and Oil

From an interview with Dan Snyder, former Sergeant with the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army.

Traveling in a convoy, you want a lead security element and a flanking security element. There will be units up ahead to watch out for potential ambushes and such, which is information they'll radio back. But it probably won't be the lead that takes the hit. The enemy will probably wait for a middle vehicle where the high value target most likely is. However, if you're in a tunnel or on a bridge, they'll go for the lead because the first disabled vehicle will block the rest from advancing.

If the enemy can manage to stop the whole convoy, it's a lot easier to get to the high value target. If you're in the wide open like in the desert, it might be very easy to form a new convoy and just speed through. Hopefully you have adequate combat power to get to your people and get out of dodge. It's trickier if you're on a bridge.

Ahead of time, you have to coordinate what the protocol is if the lead vehicle is hit. The decision might be that you all turn around simultaneously and backtrack. It could be that you all slam it in reverse. Backtracking takes technical proficiency. It takes extreme coordination to extricate from a kill zone. Whatever the call is, you need a standard operating procedure that changes constantly because the enemy can adapt. So the evacuation plan is randomly shuffled so the insurgents can't capitalize on the regularity of your response. Our troops cannot be predictable, even against a primitive enemy.

For the enemy, it's much more effective to destroy equipment, wound troops, and disrupt the supply run than it is to just kill a few guys: The insurgents hope for morale negativity.
