Q98 (CISF/2024) Science & Technology › Space & Defence Technology

Which one among the following is not a natural cover from fire in fieldcraft and tactics?

Explanation

In fieldcraft and tactics, cover is categorized into two distinct types: Cover from View and Cover from Fire.

  • Cover from View (Concealment): This hides an individual or position from enemy observation but does not provide physical protection against projectiles. Examples include bushes, tall grass, and shadows. While a bush can hide a soldier, it cannot stop a bullet.
  • Cover from Fire: This provides physical protection from the effects of enemy weapons (bullets, shell fragments, etc.). Natural features such as a ravine (a deep, narrow gorge), a hollow (a depression in the ground), and a reverse slope (the side of a hill or ridge away from the enemy) act as physical barriers that can stop or deflect direct fire.

Therefore, among the given options, a bush is only a cover from view and not a natural cover from fire.
