Note that the 5-10 meters of spacing is a guideline, but not a rule. There are some environments where it simply cannot be helped, or maintaining it is more risky than not. A very common example of this is clearing an urban environment. With so many possible hiding places for enemy troops, it is better to remain in what little cover is found {{Emdash}} even if bunched up {{Emdash}} than to maintain spacing but be in the middle of the street. | Note that the 5-10 meters of spacing is a guideline, but not a rule.

Peripherally related, a common military tactic seen in media is to have one riflemen stand while another crouches in-front of them, then they both shoot in the same direction. This theoretically allows double the firepower to be aimed in a direction while costing the same amount of space. However, the odds of this resulting in a teamkill or cross-fire is much higher than you think it is. Yes, even higher still. Thus, this tactic {{Emdash}} sometimes referred to as "high-low" {{Emdash}} is strongly discouraged in EDC. | |||

Lastly, '''expound''' on anything pertinent. What to add here will come with experience. You are doing more than fine as a riflemen if you consistently give an alert, orientation, and description. As an example for '''expound'''... is the contact approaching the element or going further away? If you spotted infantry, and your buddies are in a vehicle, do you see anyone with AT? Things like that. If you didn't give a range during '''orient''', ''now'' is the time to do it {{Emdash}} range is '''required''', even if it isn't ''specific'' (e.g saying "''Medium!''" or "''Far!''" is fine). | Lastly, '''expound''' on anything pertinent.
