Skill
FM/BS-503.V3.00 - Bound using successive bounding
Skill

Bound using the follow method:

  1. The lead element calls for bounding and designates which element will move first
    1. e.g. “This is actual. Successive Fireteam bounding North. 1 move first.”
  2. The first element acknowledges and shouts "Moving"
  3. The first element moves to a position and holds shouting “Set”
  4. The second element shouts “Moving” and moves to the same position as the first, confirming “Set”
  5. The first element now moves, again shouting “Moving”, to the next position and holds, shouting “Set” again
  6. The second element again calls and moves up to the same position as the first

This process is repeated until the unit reaches the desired end position.

Compared with FM/BS-504 - Bound using alternating bounding this process provides a higher level of security, but is slower.

FM/BS-503.V1.00 - Bounds using Successive Bounding
Skill

Successive bounding overwatch is the slower of the two. In it, one team advances, halts, and then the other team advances on-line with them, halts, and the process repeats itself with the same team moving first each time. This provides a high level of security, but with the trade off of taking longer to employ. This is usually used when there is clear assault and base-of-fire team in the ORBAT, allowing the assaulting team to always move through unclear territory first, under protection from the established BOF team.
