What constitute proper Tactical Movement?

• When moving, keep your gun in a position to fire instantly at any threat. Always allow your muzzle to cover the potential danger areas as you encounter them.
• Observe the Three Eye Principle – your gun must be oriented at whatever it is that your eyes are looking at. Wherever your eyes go, your weapon must also go.
• Keep your gun in a ready position so that it does not obstruct your vision while you search.
• When moving through open areas, do so briskly and don’t run unless you are under fire. Move at a brisk walk unless approaching a specific danger area (quick and silent movements are preferred over running, as running is usually more noticeable and “noisy”). Be sure to stay low and present as little of target as possible to your enemies while moving.
• When closing in on a potential danger area, move by using shuffle step. Avoid crossing your feet at such times as it can impair your ability to respond in all directions. Remember to keep your gun in a firing position, but with a relaxed grip. You don’t have to make yourself too tense. In fact, tenseness often does more harm than good as it can cause premature firing and a lot of missed targets due to poor aiming.
• Running is usually a last resort. Run only if your team is compromised and that you need to get some cover to engage and neutralize the enemies.
• Covering areas is a crucial aspect of tactical movement. If you approach an open hallway, staircase, intersection or some form of open area, it is best to have your movement covered.
