Statement 1 is correct: A key objective of a road block is to prevent the movement of suspects, including making it difficult for them to turn back and escape. Statement 2 is incorrect: Adequate troops should be concealed or in covered positions, not kept in the open, to protect them from hostile fire and maintain tactical surprise. Statement 3 is incorrect: While traffic management might be necessary, the primary manning of a road block in a terrorist area is determined by security requirements, threat assessment, and the need to effectively screen vehicles/personnel, not primarily by normal traffic movement patterns. Statement 4 is incorrect: Communication is vital, but it should be secure (e.g., via radio) and discreet, not audible to all nearby personnel, which could alert the terrorists to the presence and actions of the security forces.
