Out in front of
Hi all,
I am not sure I am getting the meaning of "out in front of" in the following sentence:
"IF you manage the reverse slope ambush, then advance towards the objectives, especially those out in front of the USA line (and assuming you have time to do so anyway after playing possum for so long!) - the USA TOW launchers will eat you up as you try to do so."
My first guess is that it describes objectives located at a flank of the USA line, not directly in front of it, but I am not sure.
Thank you in advance for help,
Anton

I would say that out in front of is basically the same as 'in front of', but can also imply some separation. '

I would say that out in front of is basically the same as 'in front of', but can also imply some separation. In this military scenario, I would guess the meaning to be 'the objectives which are some distance in front of the USA line.'
