Which signal is described as mounting by raising the hand from the side to 45 degrees above the horizontal?

• A. forward hand signal
• B. I do not understand hand signal
• C. mount
• D. Disregard Previous Command hand signal

Answer: (C)

Mounting is signaled by lifting the hand from the side up to roughly 45 degrees above the horizontal. This specific motion creates a clear, easily seen cue that quickly tells the team to mount onto a vehicle or platform, even at a distance. The angle and the from-the-side start make the gesture distinct from other commands, reducing confusion in the field. Other gestures described in the options don’t match this mounting cue: one is oriented forward for different directions, another indicates confusion, and another cancels a previous command. So the described motion uniquely aligns with the mounting signal.
