ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: (5M)

1. Mention the reasons why field signals are considered as alternate means of giving
orders.
Field signals are alternate means of giving orders and to control
troops when voice control is not possible. Control over troops deployed
can be done better by field signals than by voice control. There are
various occasions when voice control is not possible. They are:-

(a) Battle noises.

(b) Need for silence.
(c) Intervening distances are too large.

Battle Noises
In war, due to firing and vehicle movement very high noise will be
produced, soit may not be possible for a Commander to give voice
message.

Need for Silence

There are certain operations which, by design are carried out in utmost
silence,
eg:-

(a) Ambush
(b) Patrolling
(c) Raid
(d) Cordon

Intervening Distances are Too Large

When Infantry takes the battle field they come across many
obstacles in ground such as the ditch, rivers, mountains. Under such
circumstances we will have the only choice left with us is field signals
for communication.

2. Explain the techniques of crawling by day with LMG.

Knee Crawl (No.1)

a. This is useful for moving behind waist height cover e.g. wall, hedge rows.

b. This one is with the LMG only. The LMG is held in the left
HAND. LEFTfoot, Right knee and Right hand are placed on
the ground. The body weight is taken on the RIGHT knee.
The Right and the Left foot are moved
forwardsimultaneously followed by the RIGHT knee.

Side Crawl (No. 1). Lie on a side and rest the gun on the instep
of lower leg which is kept flat to the ground. Hold the carrying
handle with the Right hand and the barrel withthe LEFT. Propulsion
is obtained by kicking with upper leg.

Leopard Crawl (No. 1). Take the gun forward to the limit of the
extent of the arms and propel the body forward by legs using the
leopard crawl method.

Combined Leopard Crawl (Nos 1 & 2). No 1 grips the small of

the butt in her left hand, No 2 grips the bipod legs in her Right hand.
They both move forward using the leopard crawl. No 1‟s LEFT arm
and leg keep step with No. 2‟s RIGHT arm and leg and vice versa.

Combined Leopard Crawl by Bounds (Nos 1 & 2) . Nos 1 &

2 crawl forward 2 to 3 yards, and lift the gun forward. In this method
the gun is kept continuously in the firing position.

3. Mention all the field signals and explain any five.
