Movement
Troop Posture
Movement in an upright position is dangerous indoors for the same reasons
as mentioned above. Its main advantage is the ability to start moving fast.
However, you will make yourself a larger target for the enemy.
The crouching position is relatively safe in narrow corridors even without
cover by other team members. The only serious danger is in large halls or rooms,
where slow movement will give the enemy more time to see you. Despite this, it
remains the safest and most effective way to move indoors.
Crawling is the safest way to avoid being discovering by the enemy. However,
it is often less than ideal indoors because of the slow pace and low agility of the
crawling soldier. Nevertheless, you’ll find it very handy in some situations. (see
Attacking as a Team - Common Situations).
Moving Forward
Always move alongside walls in a crouching position. Larger spaces should
be crossed by running. Remember, there may be an enemy waiting behind every
corner, so stop before each turn and survey what lies ahead (see Moving as a
Team - Reconnaissance). Other obstacles that require the soldier’s attention are
stairs. Overcoming this obstacle is described in Moving as a Team - Common
Situations - Reconnaissance.
Moving as a Team
Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance in interiors is closely tied to a combat activity. You will find
more on this in the section Attacking as a Team - Common Situations -
Reconnaissance.
Moving Forward
Moving the team forward is difficult because of the limited space available;
it’s impossible to have any type of squad formation. Therefore, it’s useful to divide
the team into two equal groups. The first group watches ahead and the second
group the rear (Fig. 33). One soldier (No. 4) in the second group should be
standing in a position where he is able to support the front group with covering
fire if necessary.
