Which term describes the visual representation of a squad's sector and firing positions?

• A. Squad Sector Sketch
• B. Patrol Diagram
• C. Communications Grid
• D. Objective Overlay

Answer: (A)

This item tests your ability to recognize a diagram that shows how a squad covers terrain with their fields of fire and where each member or element is positioned. A Squad Sector Sketch is the hand-drawn or map-based representation that marks the boundaries of each squad member’s sector of fire, the actual firing positions, and how teams support one another. It’s a practical tool during planning and execution to ensure there are no gaps in coverage and to minimize the risk of friendly-fire incidents. Patrol Diagram, in contrast, is used to depict a patrol route, checkpoints, and actions along the patrol, not the squad’s defensive sectors. A Communications Grid outlines radio nets and call signs, not firing positions. An Objective Overlay marks where objectives lie on the map, rather than the specifics of how the squad will fire and maneuver within their assigned sectors.
