How many rows nearest the LRBL should be moved forward?

• A. A minimum of 4 rows
• B. A minimum of 2 rows
• C. A minimum of 6 rows
• D. A minimum of 8 rows

Answer: (A)

Advancing from a back boundary line requires keeping the formation intact, maintaining communication, and ensuring coverage as you close in. Moving the rows closest to the LRBL forward ensures there are enough personnel in front to cover sectors, keep mutual support, and preserve the chain of command while you advance. Four rows is the minimum because it provides a workable balance between speed and control: fewer than four can create gaps and weaken the boundary, while more than four slows progress without adding proportional safety in standard drills. So four rows is the smallest number that maintains safety and coordination as you move forward.
