Which statement correctly pairs ambush patrol type with its description?

• A. Point ambush patrol: forces deployed to multiple point ambushes
• B. Area ambush patrol: forces deployed to a single killing field
• C. Point ambush patrol: forces deployed to a single killing field
• D. Area ambush patrol: forces deployed to defend a convoy

Answer: (C)

Ambush patrols come in two forms: point and area. A point ambush concentrates forces in one kill field along a likely enemy route, making a single, decisive engagement in that focused area. An area ambush spreads across a broader sector, creating multiple kill zones to deny movement over a wider area or period. So the pairing that matches a point ambush with forces deployed to a single killing field is the correct one. The other descriptions mix the concepts—point ambush with multiple kill fields, or area ambush described as a single killing field, or area ambush framed as defending a convoy—none align with how these patrol types are typically designed.
