Field Medical Training Battalion – East (FMTB-E) Annex E Practice Test

Which term describes providing cover fire while other elements advance toward the enemy?

Fire And Maneuver Fire And Movement Team Rushes Back Crawl

Correct Answer:

Fire And Movement

Explanation:

Coordinated suppression and advance is the idea here. One element provides covering fire to keep the enemy pinned and unable to respond effectively, while another element moves toward the enemy to gain a better position. The suppressive fire creates a window of safety for the advancing team, reducing their exposure as they close the distance. Once in a better position, the teams can continue the assault and rotate roles as needed. This is distinct from back crawl, which is a movement method under fire with little or no supporting fire, and from vague terms like team rushes that don’t specify the fire-support component. The term that best describes this approach is fire and movement.
