In applying the horizontal angle of incidence, which action is described?

• A. Search the vehicle the same way that you slice the pie
• B. Around the corner around the window
• C. Suspect would have to rise to see you
• D. Do not bounce over the window; maintain a solid platform

Answer: (A)

Horizontal angle of incidence means sweeping around an obstacle in small, controlled angular steps, staying under cover while you check every sector. The action described—searching the vehicle the same way you slice the pie—fits this idea perfectly: you move laterally around the vehicle, exposing only a bit at a time to look for threats and to ensure you haven’t missed a hidden area. It emphasizes methodical, incremental scanning rather than rushing to a single line of sight. Other options don’t describe this rotating, pie-slice style search around the vehicle. They refer to approaching around corners or windows, suspect positioning, or stance stability, which don’t capture the intentional angular sweep used to cover and assess the vehicle’s surroundings.
