In the SOSRA set, what does the letter 'S' stand for?

• A. Obscure
• B. Suppress
• C. Secure
• D. Reduce

Answer: (B)

Suppression is the action represented by the first S in SOSRA. In combat, you apply suppressive fire to keep the enemy’s heads down and degrade their ability to shoot accurately. This gives your team time and space to maneuver, reposition, or close with the enemy. The goal is to reduce the enemy’s immediate threat so you can advance to the next steps in the sequence—obscure, secure, reduce, and assault. The remaining letters correspond to the other actions (Obscure, Secure, Reduce, Assault), so the first letter specifically stands for suppress.
