Describe the Three-Agent "Wedge".

• A. AIC offset behind Protectee; ADV in front; SL offset and behind AIC
• B. AIC offset in front of Protectee; SL offsets ahead
• C. AIC behind Protectee; ADV behind; SL behind
• D. AIC offset behind Protectee; AL in front; SL offset

Answer: (A)

In a three-agent wedge, the goal is to create coverage in front, to the sides, and behind the protectee while keeping secure spacing for quick responses. The Advance Agent sits in front of the protectee to scout ahead, detect threats early, and guide the route. The Agent in Charge stays behind the protectee, offset to one side, so there’s a clear rear arc to monitor and a ready response path without blocking the protectee’s line of sight. The remaining agent sits behind the AIC, also offset, providing additional rear and flank coverage and maintaining proper spacing. This arrangement maximizes early threat detection, preserves defensive coverage on the rear and sides, and maintains fluid movement around the protectee, which is why it fits best for the three-agent wedge.
