Which of the following is a type of transfer during a motorcade attack?

• A. Linear transfer
• B. Left/right transfer
• C. Circular transfer
• D. Diagonal transfer

Answer: (B)

Transfers describe how an attacker changes position relative to a motorcade as they close in or seek an attack angle. A left/right transfer means the attacker moves laterally along the line of travel to gain a side angle on the target. This is the best fit because side approaches are the common way an attacker tries to find a gap or expose a flank, taking advantage of the space between escort vehicles and barriers. Front-on, straight-line advances are more readily detected and blocked, while circular or diagonal paths are less direct and harder to execute reliably in typical street layouts. Understanding this helps in recognizing and preparing for lateral threats to the convoy.
