What technique is also called metering when engaging threats from cover?

• A. Slicing the pie
• B. Repositioning
• C. Harries technique
• D. Plan and write your report

Answer: (A)

Metering exposure around cover is about exposing only small angles to identify and engage a threat, then advancing in controlled, incremental steps. The technique name for this careful, slice-by-slice reveal is slicing the pie. You position at the edge of cover and rotate your body and weapon just enough to expose one “slice” at a time toward the threat, then reduce exposure as you assess and engage. This minimizes your target profile and keeps you protected while still allowing you to see the threat and respond effectively. Repositioning would involve moving to a new location without the deliberate, incremental exposure around the same cover. The Harries technique is a different method tied to how a shooter presents behind cover in certain configurations, not the specific act of meter-by-meter exposure. Plan and write your report is unrelated to tactical engagement.
