Which of the following is NOT a grenade throwing position?

• A. Standing
• B. Kneeling
• C. Alternate Prone
• D. Prone

Answer: (D)

Throwing a grenade needs a stance that lets you generate a clean throwing arc while staying controlled and protected. Standing gives the most throw distance, kneeling lowers you for better stability and a smaller silhouette, and alternate prone offers a balance of cover with enough room to throw. The prone position, lying flat on the ground, restricts arm movement and reach, making it hard to throw with proper velocity and accuracy and increasing exposure to the blast. For those reasons, prone isn’t used as a grenade throwing position, so it’s the one that doesn’t fit.
