army crawl

Low military creep

An army crawl is a method of moving forward while lying flat on the ground, using elbows and knees to propel the body while keeping the torso low.

Soldiers use it to advance under fire or through confined spaces.

Children often army crawl before learning to crawl on hands and knees: The baby started army crawling at six months.

As a verb, to army crawl is to move this way: We army crawled under the barbed wire.
