What is a "Army Hand Signs"? The Most Authoritative Explanation.
What are military hand and arm signals?
Military Hand and arm signals or what is also called Visual signals were first made by the US Army for field use and are now the most common forms of communication during ops. Military signals had a recent update from 30 years ago to keep up with needed changes in operations techniques.What are the different types of military signals?
The most common types are: hand and arm signals, flags, pyrotechnic, chemical-lights and ground-to-air signals. It must be known that soldiers and units are not limited to this select list. Like all other types of signals, visual signals do have their downfalls and limitations. The first limitation one can see is the range and reliability.What are the most common hand signals?
I’ve divided the most common hand signals into three categories — patrolling, addressing specific people in a unit, and combative hand signals. One crucial factor to remember is that hand signals are passed down the line. When someone sees a hand signal, they repeat it from front to rear and side to side.When to use the non-firing hand for hand signals?
If it is not feasible to perform the proper hand-and-arm signal while maintaining positive control, an alternate signal should be used with the non-firing hand. In the event that the Soldier must use both hands to perform a signal, the weapon will be moved to the hang or sling arms position. This page intentionally left blank.
