Light Infantry hand & arm signals

[murphy j]

I'm looking for common sense hand and arm signals to develop a company SOP. I have a few, but I'm hoping some of you guys might have some SOP's already developed that I could pick and choose from to develop our own SOP. Most of what I've found is not applicable to a Light Infantry Company, only Mech. Any help would be grateful, whether it be something you have or a source you can direct me to. If vetting of me is desired, or you don't wish to post openly due to OPSEC, please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Google FMFM 6-5
It will have a good list of the basics.

Now if you'd been an Aussie Grunt, your field signals would have been universal and worked with not only Aussies, but Brits, Kiwis, Scots, Irish, Ghurkas and a few of our Saffa Brothers :biggrin:
