"Fire and movement" is a military tactic used to coordinate the actions of soldiers during combat. It involves one group providing covering fire while another group moves to a new position. This method helps to protect the moving soldiers from enemy fire and allows them to advance or reposition effectively. The tactic relies on teamwork and communication, ensuring that the covering fire suppresses the enemy's ability to shoot accurately. By alternating roles, soldiers can maintain pressure on the enemy while safely maneuvering on the battlefield. This strategy is essential for successful operations in various military engagements.
