In movement planning, which term describes continuing movement and assuming threat presence until told otherwise?

• A. Breach
• B. Follow and assume
• C. Destroy
• D. Secure

Answer: (B)

In movement planning, you aim to keep momentum and proceed toward the objective even when you’re not sure of enemy positions. The rule you follow is to continue the movement and operate under the assumption that a threat is present until you receive explicit orders otherwise. This mindset—keeping to the plan and assuming threat presence—prevents hesitation that can slow a operation and lets you react quickly to new information without stopping to verify every possibility.

Breach would be about opening a path through obstacles, which can interrupt movement. Destroy focuses on eliminating threats, which isn’t about the act of moving forward. Secure emphasizes establishing safety in an area, which also slows or halts the advance. None of those capture the idea of maintaining movement while assuming threats exist until told to change.
