Which of the following is NOT a primary tactical action?

• A. Check and Go
• B. Prep and Go
• C. Prep and Defend
• D. Bump and Run

Answer: (D)

In WUI structure defense, actions are chosen from a small set of planned tactical paths that determine how you handle a structure under threat: assess and decide whether to stay and defend after preparation, or to exit after completing necessary precautions. The option that doesn’t fit this defined set is Bump and Run. Check and Go means quickly assessing the structure and conditions and leaving if it can’t be defended; Prep and Go involves doing the essential protective work around the structure and then moving to safety; Prep and Defend means finishing the protective prep and staying on scene to defend the structure if conditions allow. Bump and Run isn’t one of these primary tactics because it’s not a structured, risk-based action for defending or evacuating a structure, but rather a general mobility move not aligned with the standard defensive actions.
