    The correct answer is Detour bypass method. This method involves using a series of 90-degree turns to the right or left in order to move around the open area until the far side is reached. This allows the squad to avoid crossing the open area directly and potentially exposing themselves to danger. By taking a detour, they can maintain cover and concealment while continuing their mission.

    Explanation
    In a deliberate ambush, the assault element is responsible for executing the attack. They are primarily focused on engaging the enemy and neutralizing threats. The other actions mentioned, such as identifying sectors of fire and emplacing grenadiers, are important tasks that are typically carried out by the support element or other members of the team. Emplacing protective devices, such as early warning devices, is not a task typically assigned to the assault element during a deliberate ambush. These devices are usually employed by the support element to provide early warning of approaching enemy forces.

      Point.

    • B.

      Linear.

    • D.

      L-shaped.

    Correct Answer
    D. L-shaped.
    Explanation
    The L-shaped ambush is the correct answer because it utilizes limiting stakes to prevent friendly fires from hitting the assault element. Limiting stakes are placed in a way that creates a safe zone for the assault element, protecting them from being accidentally hit by their own forces. This type of ambush formation is effective in minimizing the risk of friendly fire and maximizing the element of surprise against the enemy.

    When the assault element begins to search and encounters return fire, they must be prepared to move across the kill zone using the individual movement technique. This technique involves each member of the assault element moving independently and using cover and concealment to advance towards the objective. It allows for greater flexibility and minimizes the risk of multiple casualties if the enemy is engaging with accurate fire.

      Two at a time so one can cover the other.

    • D.

      Simultaneously.

    Correct Answer
    A. In the reverse order that they established their positions.
    Explanation
    When a team withdraws from an ambush site, they typically do so in the reverse order that they established their positions. This means that the team members who were the last to take up their positions will be the first ones to withdraw, while those who were the first to take up their positions will be the last ones to leave. This strategy allows for a more organized and controlled withdrawal, ensuring that each team member has cover and support as they retreat from the ambush site.

    The correct answer is "Assisted and unassisted." This is because the question is asking for the types of withdrawals, and "assisted" and "unassisted" are two distinct types of withdrawals. "Fast and slow," "aid and unaided," and "forward and backward" are not relevant to the concept of withdrawals.

      Under Enemy Pressure.

    • B.

      Thinning the lines.

    • C.

      Fire teams.

    • D.

      By squads.

    Correct Answer
    A. Under Enemy Pressure.

    Under Enemy Pressure is not a method of disengaging from the enemy because it implies being under direct attack or intense pressure from the enemy. In such a situation, disengaging may not be a viable option as the focus would be on defending oneself or retaliating against the enemy. The other options, Thinning the lines, Fire teams, and By squads, suggest different strategies or tactics that can be employed to disengage from the enemy effectively.
