Skill
FM/BS-339.V3.00 - Maintains effective spacing
Skill

Keep several meters of distance between themselves and other players unless they need to be closer e.g. administering buddy medical aid.

The specific distance should be dependent on terrain and circumstance, usually called out by the Fireteam Leader. In thick, low visibility terrain or atmosphere, such as jungle or night time forest, spacings should be as close as 5m, whereas in high visibility open terrain, such as desert or open fields in broad daylight, spacings can be up to 25m between each individual. The liklihood of mines/IEDs, or Indirect Fire (IDF) should also factor into the chosen spacing.
