Which crawl requires cover and concealment to be available and keeps the body off the ground?

• A. High Crawl
• B. Low Crawl
• C. Back Crawl
• D. Sprint Crawl

Answer: (A)

When you move under threat, you choose a crawl that reduces exposure while matching the terrain and available cover. The high crawl keeps your torso elevated off the ground, propelled on hands and feet, so you’re not lying flat. This stance lets you use obstacles for concealment while still keeping you higher enough to see ahead and respond quickly. You need some cover or concealment to be present; without it, this posture would leave you more exposed than other options. The low crawl stays closer to the ground, and the other crawls are geared toward speed or different body contact, so they don’t meet the requirement of keeping you off the ground while relying on cover/concealment.
