R.A.Z. stands for which three terms?

• A. Route, Area, Zone
• B. Route, Zone, Area
• C. Area, Route, Zone
• D. Zone, Route, Area

Answer: (A)

R.A.Z. is a planning framework for movement and security that maps to three concepts: Route, Area, Zone. The route is the specific path the patrol will take, the area is the larger geographic space the unit operates within, and the zone is a defined segment of that area where security or control is assigned along the route. This order—the route you follow, the area you cover, and the zone you defend or monitor—gives a clear, repeatable way to coordinate movement and protection with adjacent units. The other sequences don’t match how R.A.Z. is typically expanded, so they don’t reflect the standard terminology.
