Individual Movement Techniques (IMT)
Individual movement is the most basic foundational block for all unit tactics. Whether it be raids, patrolling, bounding, or any movement done in the field, IMT is the baseline that everything else is built upon. IMT at face value seems like a silly topic to cover, you may tell yourself that โI already know how to do an army crawl and I know how to run!โ but IMT, and training it, is what allows individuals to properly move under fire and resist freezing, overreacting, or in a worst case: standing straight up. IMT drills are done to prevent this and inoculate against fear responses.

IMT drills are done to prevent this and inoculate against fear responses.
Core Techniques of IMT
IMT can be broken down into four movement techniques and one communication technique. These movement techniques are the low crawl, the high crawl, the 3-5 second rush, and transitions.
The low crawl is conducted the body flat against the ground. The individualโs rifle is cradled across their forearms and the body is pushed along the ground with the toes and elbows, moving inches at a time. This is the one of the slowest ways of moving but it keeps the body low to the earth and less easily spotted. The low crawl is often used with cover is minimal, concealment is minimal, or hostile fire is heavy. It excels when used in tall grass, brush, shadows, and depressions in the land.
Opposing the low crawl is the high crawl. The high crawl is conducted with the rifle cradled tight in the arms, with the stock deep into the pit of the inside pivot of the elbow. This is the traditional โarmy crawl,โ where the individual moves via the opposite arm and leg moving in unison. The individualโs weight is primarily on their forearms and knees. This crawl is faster than a low crawl but still maintains a low profile. The high crawl is more beneficial when there is light cover present or when concealing in broken terrain with scattered obstacles.
The after mastering crawling, the 3-5 second rush, quite literally, has the individual running. The individual begins in the prone position, pushes their body upwards, and begins sprinting for no longer than 3-5 seconds. They then drop to the prone position again with their rifle pointed towards the threat. This is the movement behind bounding and common phrase, โIโm up, he sees me, Iโm down.โ The 3-5 second rush was built upon studies of human reaction and target acquisition time. It is the primary movement technique under fire.
Rounding out the movement techniques are transitions. Transitions are exactly as they sound, the movement from one position to the next. The 3-5 rush uses the prone to rush technique where the individual pushes their body smoothly and they avoid raising their head first. At the end of the rush, they transition with the rush to prone technique where the individual performs a controlled drop, rolls slightly, and has their rifle ready. Another transition conducted is the prone-roll where the individual is in the prone position and rolls their body to move laterally without exposing themselves. Making small shifts like this can disrupt hostile aim without exposing the body from cover or concealment.
Finally there are the communication techniques. Communication is critical for small units. Units need to know when individuals are moving to avoid friendly fire casualties, particularly when under fire. This is exemplified in the film โHeatโ where Val Kilmerโs and Robert De Niroโs characters call out when to move and when they are moving. Yelling โmoving!โ prior to moving, particularly when responded with the call, โmove!โ is paramount to both preventing accidents as well as preventing both individuals from moving out of cover at once. In cases where movement is needed but stealth is required, hand and arm signals can be employed. The communication aspect of moving, particularly when employed with a 3-5 rush while bounding under fire, is key to preventing casualties.

1/ Maher Tarabishi, 62, was detained by ICE after a routine check-in in Texas.
He was the full-time caregiver for his son Wael, 30, who lived with Pompe disease and required constant care.
After Maherโs detention, Waelโs health declined.
He died without seeing his father again

I wrote about the new born tiger cub but again people didn't believe in me and now more people will be killed.
I clearly wrote poor are those who baptize in the pee of that baby tiger.
I really don't know how to prove the people when I say don't do something just do not do it.

The analysis if the Pretti shooting is more complicated than the Good shooting. I don't think there was a mistake. But even if there was an error, the law in this area tolerates mistakes.

DHS sealed the border shut, resulting in 95% fewer encounters per day than during the Biden administration.
People forget that Trump 45 struggled with the border. But not Trump 47, which got it secured pretty early on.

Under Secretary Noem, DHS removed more than 675,000 illegals. Additionally, roughly 2.2 million illegals have self-deported.
The majority of these deportations occurred before BBB funding (~$170 billion) kicked in, so we can expect the rate to increase this year.

Many players learn reroll comps through planners and fixed roll timings. Itโs a good baseline, but reroll decisions change game to game. This thread covers reroll fundamentals and nuances that donโt show up in planners but can affect your placement a lot. VOD at the end.
Understand when to reroll vs tempo. Every game you should identify what line has the best AVP, and sometimes people will throw away a strong opener that can tempo to instead play reroll.
Reroll is preferred when your opener is weak and you can pick reroll specific econ augments and have better prio on carousel. If our opener is likely to lose stage 2, playing reroll lets you spike in stage 3 to avoid losing too much HP and being forced to win out in stage 4.
