FM 17-32 THE TANK COMPANY, LIGHT AND MEDIUM August 2, 1942.

>Fire and maneuver.-The company advances by fire and movement. A portion of the command maneuvers against the enemy while the remainder covers that movement. This covering force does not necessarily fire all the time while the other force is maneuvering. It takes up positions where it can bring effective fire on any enemy holding up the advance. It fires only when necessary to assist the advance. After the maneuvering force has advanced beyond supporting distance of the covering force, it may take positions and become the covering force while the former covering force becomes the maneuvering force.

>30. METHOD OF ADVANCE.-Advance is made by leapfrogging or other means of fire and maneuver. (See fig. 40.)
>a. In the leapfrogging method of advance, the first platoon covers the advance of the second and third platoons to their next position and then moves around or through the second platoon to its new position, which places the first platoon in advance of the second platoon. The second platoon then covers the advance of the first and third platoons to the next position. The solid line indicates the direction of movement of the first platoon, and the dotted line indicates the actual route taken by the first platoon to reach its new position.

>b.In moving by bounds, the first platoon covers the advance of the second and third platoons to their next position, and then moves to its new position. The operation is then repeated. The use of this method always keeps the same platoons in the forward positions.
