Take point
In modern military parlance, to take point, walk point, be on point, or be a point man means to assume the first and most exposed position in a combat military formation,〔http://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/support-weapons/17927.aspx〕 that is, the leading soldier/unit advancing through hostile or unsecured territory.〔(Céileachair, Daithí Ó (2005) "Language and Knives" );〕〔("Point" definition 30a & b ''The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language'' (4th ed.) 2000 )〕 The term can be applied to infantry or mechanized columns. The soldier, vehicle, or unit on point is frequently the first to take hostile fire. The inherent risks of taking point create a need for constant and extreme operational alertness. However, ambushes often intend to let the point element past the prime killing zone in order to be maximally effective. Point position is often rotated periodically so as not to overtax the individual soldier/unit.
