What are the CPs doing during crossover lace?

• A. They are behind the line
• B. They are posted at LCS and RCS facing the rail
• C. They are in the center of the line
• D. They are at the front of the line

Answer: (B)

During crossover lace, CPs are posted at the left-center and right-center positions facing the rail. This puts them on the sides of the formation where they can clearly observe the crossing as it happens, keep the spacing even, and maintain the overall alignment. Facing the rail gives them a direct view of the process and allows quick cues if adjustments are needed. Being in the center, at the front, or behind would reduce visibility and interfere with guiding the maneuver, so the side-centered positions facing the rail are the most effective setup.
