Fording Procedures: Shallow and Deep Crossings

What are shallow and deep fords?

Are they used in military operations or civilian activities?

Answer:

Shallow and deep fords are procedures used in military operations or when crossing bodies of water in vehicles.

Explanation: Shallow fording involves crossing a river or body of water where the water level is low enough to allow vehicles to drive through without submerging. Deep fording is used for crossing deeper bodies of water, typically done using specialized vehicles with waterproofing and snorkels.

Both procedures require careful planning and execution to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
