Introduction
A step by step method for leaving and re entering cover positions safely using controlled footwork, reduced exposure timing, and stable movement mechanics.
Key Points
- Explains controlled departures from cover.
- Teaches how to re enter cover without losing balance.
- Covers timing for exposure minimization.
- Supports smooth transitions between open and closed positions.
- Helps players maintain consistent alignment when relocating.
Details
Exit and re entry movement helps players change their viewing or firing position around cover without exposing themselves unpredictably. The process focuses on measured steps and stability.
To exit cover, players shift weight to their rear foot and take a small step outward with their front foot. This controlled step prevents sudden lateral lean or unexpected exposure.
The torso remains upright and aligned with the marker. Abrupt twisting during the exit creates instability and misalignment.
Once the observation or movement is complete, re entry uses the same movement pattern in reverse. The front foot retracts behind cover first, followed by a gradual reset of the torso and hips.
Maintaining consistent pace during both exit and re entry ensures that the player avoids imbalance and maintains reliable control of their movement patterns.
This method supports cleaner transitions in and out of cover and prepares players for more dynamic repositioning techniques.
