In the maneuver buttonhooks where are the CPs?

• A. Behind the lines
• B. Center front
• C. Posting at LCS and RCS
• D. Posting at OGE and GE

Answer: (D)

This item tests where to place control points to supervise a curved marching maneuver. The best placement is at the two flank positions designated OGE and GE because they give observers a clear, two-sided view of the turning arc. Having CPs on both sides around the turn lets leaders monitor timing and spacing as the unit executes the hook and then re-form on the new course. It provides symmetrical guidance so any drift can be detected and corrected promptly. Positions behind the line or too close to the center front don’t offer the same visibility or coverage through the bend, which is why they’re not ideal for this maneuver.
