German term or phrase: angepasste Verschiebung
From a Swiss Army work reference

Verantwortlich im abgesessenen Einsatz (der Füsiliere) für die gefechtstechnisch angepasste Verschiebung des Rad Spz 93.

From my previous post I know this is referring to the action of the armoured fighting vehicle during dismounted deployment of infantry. But what precisely does angepasste Verschiebung mean here? Is it something to do with giving covering fire during action?

agree  Oliver Walter: with "displacement" meaning "going somewhere else"

neutral  Kim Metzger: Wouldn't you say "strategic" is on a much higher level? This is on the level of an infantry squad.

agree  gangels (X): the rad.etc's combat-related relocation (or repositioning), I'd say
