This is when ''Element A'' moves up to a position 1 then ~~remains stationary~~ and ~~maintains~~ security of ''Element B'' while ~~they move~~ up to a position on the same line as position 1. Then, ''Element B'' ~~remains stationary~~ and waits for ''Element A'' to go to position 2. Then ''Element B'' moves up to ''Element A'' ~~by being~~ on the same line ~~as position 2 while ''Element A'' maintains security. This repeats ad nauseum until it's no longer necessary or called off by leadership~~.

This is when ''Element A'' moves up to a position 1, then, they hold and maintain security for ''Element B'' while ''Element B'' moves up to a position on the same line as position 1. Think of it like maintaining a line formation. Then, ''Element B'' holds for security and waits for ''Element A'' to go to a position 2. Then ''Element B'' moves up to ''Element A'' on the same line and the cycle continues.

This variation is slower, but grants a high degree of ~~Security~~, as at ''~~least~~'' ~~half the element can~~ engage a contact with no risk of cross-fire if it should present itself.

This variation is slower, but grants a high degree of security, as there is always an element that can ''immediately'' engage a contact with ''no'' risk of cross-fire if contact should present itself.

==== Alternating ====

This is functionally the same as successive except the elements pass one another, with the intent of ~~going faster~~. So ''Element A'' goes to position 1, ~~maintains~~ security ~~and waits~~, and then ''Element B'' goes to position 2 {{Emdash}} which is '''ahead''' of ''Element A.'' Then, ''Element B'' ~~maintains~~ security and waits for ''Element A'' to go to position 3 which is ahead of ''Element B''. Again, ~~this~~ repeats ~~ad nauseum~~.

This is functionally the same as successive except the elements pass one another with the intent of increasing speed . So, ''Element A'' goes to position 1, holds for security , and then ''Element B'' goes to a position 2 {{Emdash}} which is '''ahead''' of ''Element A.'' Then, ''Element B'' holds for security and waits for ''Element A'' to go to a position 3 which is ahead of ''Element B''. Again, the cycle repeats.

This variation is faster, but security is sacrificed, given that cross-fire may cause a reduction in the ability to engage a contact.
