Sure, unless you’re setting up an ambush.
Or are in an ambush.
Or defending a fixed position.
Or are retreating…er, ending an engagement for the marines types.
Only other case I can think of off hand is hoping the dude on the ground shooting at you dangling from a parachute is a really bad shot.
- meetingthrower 5y agoActually, pretty much the same. Ambush: you kill, then assault through with a covering element. In an ambush: return fire, assault through with an element. Fixed position: true, you are not manuevering, but technique is to have interlocking fields of fire from different elements. This also gives you flexibility in a retreat... (And you have secondary and tertiary fallback positions to which to manuever too.) Retreat: bound back under cover (eg, with covering element.) Combat jump: jump on at 400 feet to get to the ground quickly. Find your nearest paratroopers and form fire teams.. (was in the 82nd).
