Question 1

Discuss the techniques of movement and when they should be used?

Answer 1

Acronym - TTB

Traveling - Enemy contact is unlikely. Fastest technique but least secure. Flight modes are Low-level and contour.

Traveling Overwatch - Enemy contact is possible. Contour flight is normally used. Overwatching elements keep it movement to the terrain and its distance from the main element. Airspeed is genrally high.

Bounding Overwatch - Enemy contact is expected, or greatest degree of concealment is required. Contour flight and NOE are normally used for movement. Airspeed varies.
