BASIC TACTICS: SINGLE FILE FORMATION

It is written solely to introduce the concept of tactical movement to those with little experience or knowledge in this area. Theory and Reality are two different things; what works in the classroom will not always work in “life”. Spotter Up will assume “no” responsibility for any use or misuse of information from this article.

Trying to list every element would only cause more confusion. Practicing a technique will elicit the reasons why.
