True or False: Some dead space can be eliminated from the dominate position.

• A. False
• B. Not sure
• C. Cannot determine
• D. True

Answer: (D)

From a dominate position you have the best control of visibility and angles, so you can actively reduce blind spots by clearing angles and coordinating with teammates to cover every approach. By stepping to the edge of entry points, scanning along walls, and methodically clearing corners and behind obstacles, you eliminate portions of the dead space that an adversary could hide in. That said, you can’t remove every bit of dead space because the room’s geometry—walls, furniture, and occluded corners—will always leave some areas unseen from a single vantage. So, some dead space can be eliminated from the dominate position, but not all.
