Term
Traveling Overwatch
Definition
Traveling Overwatch. Use when enemy contact is possible.This is the most used movement technique. Leave 20m between Rangers, and 50m between teams.
(1)Only the lead squad should use traveling overwatch; however, in cases where greater dispersion is desired, all
squads may use it.
(2) In other formations, all squads use traveling overwatch unless the platoon leader specifies not to. Traveling
overwatch offers good control, dispersion, speed, and security forward.
(3) The lead squad must be far enough ahead of the rest of the platoon to detect or engage any enemy before the enemy observes or fires on the main body. However,the lead squad must stay between 50 and 100m infront of the platoon so the platoon can support them with small arms fires. This is normally between 50 to 100m, depending on terrain, vegetation, and light and weather conditions
Term
Bounding Overwatch

. Use when enemy contact is likely, or when crossing a danger area. Both squad and platoon
have bounding and overwatch elements. The bounding element moves while the other one occupies a position where it can
overwatch by fire the bounding element’s route. The bounding element must remain within firing range of the overwatching element
at all times.
