Which movement method reduces the silhouette?

• A. Rushing
• B. Team rushes
• C. Low silhouette
• D. Fire and movement

Answer: (C)

The movement method that reduces your visible profile is moving with a low silhouette. When you keep your body as low as possible—crawling or using a low stance and terrain features to hide your form—you present the smallest target height to the enemy, making you harder to detect and shoot. Rushing and team rushes push you to move quickly with a higher posture, increasing the amount of body visible and the chance of detection. Fire and movement relies on suppressive fire to cover the advance, but it doesn’t inherently minimize your silhouette as effectively as deliberately staying low and using the terrain to stay hidden.
