NOTE: When used alone, flag colors have the following meanings:
Red--danger, or enemy in sight.
Green--all clear, ready, or understood.
Yellow--disregard, or vehicle out of action.
In poor visibility, you can use colored chemical lights or flashlights with colored filters in place of flags.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluation Preparation: SETUP: At the test site, provide a set of vehicle-signaling flags and flashlight. From the
signals shown in the task, pick 10 to test.
BRIEF SOLDIER: Tell the Soldier you will give the ten signals, and he must correctly execute each one.
Performance Measures GO NO-GO
1. Executed proper formation signals. —— ——
2. Executed proper drill signals. —— ——
3. Executed proper movement technique signals. —— ——
4. Executed proper signals to control vehicle drivers and crews. —— ——
5. Executed proper flag signals. —— ——
Evaluation Guidance: Score the Soldier GO if all performance measures are passed. Score the Soldier NO-GO if
any performance measure is failed. If the Soldier scores NO-GO, show the Soldier what was done wrong and how
to do it correctly.
