When under heavy fire, you should withdraw from contact and reposition.

• A. Exfiltrate
• B. Disengage
• C. Interdict
• D. Destroy

Answer: (B)

When you’re taking heavy fire, the immediate goal is to break contact with the enemy and move to a safer or more advantageous position. This is what disengaging means: you deliberately end direct engagement, withdraw from the fire zone, and reposition to a location where you can better protect your team, restore cover, and potentially return fire effectively from a safer angle. Exfiltrating implies extraction from the area, which isn’t necessarily the immediate move for a quick reposition during ongoing contact. Interdict is about blocking or stopping enemy movement, not about moving away from contact. Destroy focuses on eliminating the threat, which may not be feasible or the quickest way to gain safety in the moment. So the best action in this situation is to disengage.
