Which is a listed method of movement for a moving flank guard?

• A. Screen a portion of the area
• B. Successive bounds
• C. Recon BPs
• D. Occupy OPs

Answer: (B)

The moving flank guard advances using successive bounds, a leapfrogging pattern where two elements work in turn to move forward and provide security. While one element bounds to a new position, the other covers and observes, then they swap roles. This keeps the flank protected while the force progresses, maintaining contact with potential threats and allowing faster movement. Other options describe different security tasks or static positions, not the method for advancing a moving flank guard.
