What is a peel
‘Peeling’ is a squad and fireteam movement used when encountering a larger force with overwhelming firepower. During a peel the team employs continuous suppressive fire while successively and rapidly moving, one person at a time, in the chosen direction. This is different to bounding as a peel implies a defensive tactic being performed, whereby a bound is used offensively. As such, the aim of a peel is to get away as quickly as possible while preventing an enemy advance.
