What is the fastest way to move from one position to another while providing fire suppression?

• A. Individual Rush
• B. Team Rushes
• C. Fire and Movement
• D. Fire and Maneuver

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how to move quickly between positions while still keeping the enemy’s heads down. When speed is the priority, an individual rush is the fastest option: one shooter sprints to the next position and continues to fire in short bursts to maintain suppressive cover. By moving solo, you eliminate the coordination and waiting time that come with coordinating a team, so the distance is closed faster and exposure time is reduced. This approach is faster than team-based options because coordinating multiple people or shifting between roles (as in team rushes or fire and movement) introduces pauses and coordinated steps that slow the overall movement. Fire and maneuver, which involves bounding and alternating teams to cover and advance, also adds time for shifts in fire and movement sequences. So, while the solo rush carries higher personal risk, it achieves the quickest transition with suppression in play.
