Army ROTC - Platoon Movement Training Exercise

A movement technique is the manner a platoon uses to traverse terrain.  As the probability of enemy contact increases the platoon leader adjusts the movement techniques to provide greater security.  The essential factor to consider is the trail units’ ability to provide mutual support to the lead element.  The army focuses on three individual movement techniques of high crawl, low crawl, and 3-5 second rush. Individual movement techniques are typically taught to all arms and services both in basic training and often also whilst undergoing non-infantry specialty training.  Each of these cadets will learn new techniques for their training for camp and completion of the program.
