Vehicle following infantry

The Vehicle Following Infantry formation is used when vehicles provide close support from behind advancing infantry.

Vehicles follow at a 40–60 m distance, maintaining pace with the infantry while preserving freedom of movement and minimizing risk of interference or fratricide. This formation has an increased risk of fratricide by overpressure, see Vehicles in an urban environment FM/BG-1332.

This formation allows vehicles to deliver responsive fire support without restricting infantry manoeuvre.

Vehicle with flanking infantry

The Vehicle with Flanking Infantry formation provides mutual protection and situational awareness.

Infantry elements move slightly ahead on both sides of the vehicle, staying roughly level with the vehicle's centre.

This arrangement enhances security against close threats while allowing the vehicle to support both flanks with its firepower.

Vehicle leading infantry

The Vehicle Leading Infantry formation is used when the vehicle provides frontal protection for advancing infantry.

The vehicle moves ahead of the infantry, using its armour and weapons to suppress or draw enemy fire.

This is most effective when advancing across open terrain or toward a known threat, allowing infantry to follow under cover.

Maintain position in a combined arms formation

Maintain the correct position in the combined arms formation set by the element commander.
