PURPOSE
The Lunge Walk is the second exercise in the Guerilla Drill.
This exercise develops the leg power needed to move under control in a crouch.
This strength improves other movements to and from the ground.
The figure above breaks down the exercise as Soldiers conduct it in a formation:
STARTING POSITION
From the starting position, the Position of Attention, step forward with the left foot, stepping as in a Lunge and swinging the opposite arm until the upper arm is parallel to the ground.
MOVEMENT
● Lightly touch the knee of the rear leg to the ground with each step.
● Step forward and under the body with the right leg, avoiding raising the trunk.
Avoid swinging the leg out to the side to clear the ground.
● Continue alternating leg and arm movements until crossing the 25-meter line.
CHECK POINTS:
● Incorporate arm swing with the arm opposite the forward leg raised parallel to the ground.
● Keep the back straight and the head up.
● Do not allow the knee of the lead leg to move forward of the toes of the forward foot.
PRECAUTION:
Do not allow the knee of the rear leg to forcefully contact the ground
