Which tactic involves fire and movement, where suppressive fire is used to cover the team's movement and engage the enemy head-on?

• A. Fire and maneuver
• B. Concealment
• C. Cover
• D. Fire and movement

Answer: (D)

Fire and movement focuses on using suppressive fire to pin the enemy while one element advances to a better position, then engages them directly. The suppressive fire fixes the opponent in place so the team can move without taking heavy fire, and once in position, they engage head-on with the enemy. This directly matches the scenario described: the team relies on suppressive fire to cover its movement and then fights as they close in. Concealment and cover deal with hiding or protection rather than coordinating an assault, and while fire and maneuver is a related concept, the scenario’s emphasis on movement under suppressive fire to engage the enemy points to fire and movement as the best fit.
