Which is a fighting position designed for two personnel working together?

• A. Dug In Fighting Position
• B. One Man Hasty Fighting Position
• C. Two Man Hasty Fighting Position
• D. Mounted Fighting Position

Answer: (C)

Two-man hasty fighting position focuses on quick, paired protection for two soldiers who work together to defend a sector. It’s built fast in the field, often with a shallow trench or shelter and a simple overhead cover, so both personnel can simultaneously observe, fire, and move as a team. The design emphasizes mutual support—each man can cover the other’s blind spots, share a field of fire, and rotate duties as the situation requires—while remaining relatively mobile and easy to construct. This differs from a dug-in fighting position, which is deeper and more permanent, intended for longer-duration defense and greater protection, not specifically limited to two personnel working in tandem. A one-man hasty fighting position is tailored for a single soldier, not a pair. A mounted fighting position is built around a vehicle or fixed mounted platform, not a pair of foot troops working side by side.
