U.S. Army personnel practice a variation of the "Ausie Peeloff" (aka "center peel off", or simply, "peel off") tactical retreat technique at the MACV (Military Assistance Command Vietnam) Recondo School in Nha Trang, Vietnam. (This type of tactic is designed for use by a small reconnaissance unit when unexpectedly encountering a larger enemy force.) A group of soldiers observes in foreground, as a squad of 6 trainees executes a peel off. In this case, the point man is seen to peel off first, followed, successively, by the other squad members. Near the end of the maneuver, one soldier throws a grenade which explodes to cover the retreat of the last squad member.
