Four Fs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Four F's" is a military term used in the United States military, especially during World War II.
Designed to be easy to remember, the "Four Fs" are as follows:
- Find - Locate the enemy
- Fix - Pin them down with suppressing fire
- Flank - Send soldiers to the enemy's sides (not the rear, as your troops will then fire upon each other)
- Finish - Eliminate all enemy combatants
This simple phrase was used mostly in WWII combat, but has been replaced with more effective maneuvers in the modern army.
This tactic was exemplified in the 2005 computer game Brothers In Arms, which utilizes the "Four Fs" as a major combat device.
