From the book Fighting Fit by Adrian Weale it's written:
"Tabbing is a fast marching technique that Paras have developed as as efficient (though knackering) method of getting themselves and their kit into battle. On a tab you must try to average a mile every 10 minutes without running; the technique requires you to push forward strongly with your hips and thighs and swing your arms in an exaggerated manner in order to build a strong forward momentum"
I've read in another SAS book about Bravo Two Zero, they "tabbed" all the way to the Syrian border. It sounds like a faster paced march...but does anyone have any idea how exactly its done? The author gave a pretty good description, but theres still room for some interpretation.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
