Preparation Drill #2 corresponds to which drill in Army PRT?

• A. Push-up
• B. Bend and Reach
• C. Rear Lunge
• D. Prone Row

Answer: (C)

In Army PRT, Preparation Drills are a quick, dynamic warm-up sequence designed to loosen joints and activate the muscles before the main training. The second Preparation Drill centers on mobility and stability of the hips and legs. A rear lunge fits this purpose because it involves stepping forward into a controlled lunge, keeping the torso upright, and returning to the start. This movement actively warms up the hip flexors, glutes, quadriceps, knees, and ankles while challenging balance and coordination—all key for preparing the lower body for the upcoming work. The other options are focused on different aspects: push-ups are an upper-body strength exercise, bend and reach targets a different part of the warm-up sequence, and prone row is an upper-back/arm exercise tied to strength rather than the second preparatory drill.
