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

• A. Rear Lunge
• B. Bend and Reach
• C. Forward Lunge
• D. Prone Row

Answer: (A)

Preparation Drills in Army PRT are a short, progressive warm-up that progress through different movement patterns to wake up major muscle groups and prepare the joints for activity. The drill that follows Bend and Reach is Rear Lunge, and that’s why it matches the second drill in the sequence. The Rear Lunge focuses on hip mobility, leg strength, balance, and proper knee tracking by stepping back into a controlled lunge while keeping the torso tall. This pattern specifically activates the hip flexors, glutes, and quadriceps and trains you to shift weight smoothly from one leg to the other, which is exactly what the second drill in the warm-up sequence is designed to do.

Bend and Reach is the first drill, emphasizing trunk flexion/extension and hamstring stretch rather than the hip-and-leg mobility and balance work of a lunge. Forward Lunge is not part of the standard Preparation Drills sequence, and Prone Row targets the upper back and shoulders, usually structured differently in the warm-up.
