In FPOL, which statement best describes the transition at the passage point?

• A. The stationary unit retains its restrictions on the passing unit.
• B. The passing unit's actions are no longer bound by stationary force restrictions.
• C. The passing unit remains under observation but not under restrictions.
• D. The passage point marks the end of the operation.

Answer: (B)

In FPOL, the passage point marks the moment the moving unit passes through the stationary unit and can continue with its own freedom of action. The stationary unit stays to cover and secure the passage, but the passing unit is no longer bound by the restrictions imposed by the stationary force. This is why the correct description is that the passing unit’s actions are no longer bound by stationary force restrictions. The other ideas imply ongoing restrictions, only observation, or ending the operation at the passage point, none of which fits how FPOL transitions are intended to work.
