Which signal involves extending both arms above the head at 45 degrees to form a V shape?

• A. Vee
• B. Wedge
• C. Echelon
• D. Platoon

Answer: (A)

The signal being described is the one that creates a V shape with the arms. When both arms are raised above the head and angled outward at about 45 degrees, they form two lines that meet at the head to make a V. That shape is literally the Vee, which is why this is the correct choice. This differs from a wedge, where the arms would form a pointed shape closer together, or from an echelon, where the arms are at different heights to create a diagonal, stepped look. Platoon refers to a unit, not a signaling pose.
