Hand Signals

Recommended Posts

Haha, nice, Harry-- that's the way I remember it! :icon_e_wink:

 

As for hand and arm signals, it can vary depending on the unit, or even down to a squad. The way I learned it at Basic was different from the way my squad leader did it-- which was different from my PLT sergeant, and so on.

The only universals I remember were "halt" and "freeze" (which always resembled the Vietnam patrol scene from Forrest Gump w/ Lt Dan, "GET DOWN, SHUT UP"). The hand and arm signals for 'wedge formation' and 'enemy' were always the ones that were really different. I want to say it is FM 21-60 that covers the Army's "guidance" for hand and arm signals.

even if you memorize it, it's of no help if your squad has no practice rehearsing the signals in formation.

 

don't worry about us, we've got it all under control.
