Vehicles in an urban environment
When operating alongside armoured vehicles in urban terrain:
- Infantry should never advance directly in front of the gun and should maintain communication with the vehicle commander when moving close.
- Using Vehicle with flanking infantry FM/BG-1329:
- Infantry advances along the sides of the vehicle's axis, engaging or clearing threats.
- When a vehicle fires or shifts position, infantry falls back into formation to maintain cover and avoid overpressure.
- Vehicles may move or reposition without warning, creating a crushing hazard.
- Tank cannons generate severe overpressure when firing. Infantry standing to the front are at risk of fatal injury. Overpressure extends 50–100 m in a ~45° cone shape from the gun's muzzle.
