What additional responsibility does a lead monitor have during the AL event?

The additional responsibility of the lead monitor during the AL (Movement to Contact) event is to ensure that participants hear their expected repetitions. This is crucial because the AL event includes specific tasks where participants must perform a certain number of repetitions, such as in the ammunition lift or other physical activities. Clear communication from the lead monitor helps maintain the integrity of the test and ensures that each participant is aware of their targets, promoting both accountability and performance. By providing this information, the lead monitor helps participants manage their effort, stay on pace, and complete the required repetitions effectively, which is essential for accurate scoring and assessment of their capabilities.

While encouraging participants, monitoring breathing techniques, and scheduling breaks are important, they are not the primary responsibilities assigned to the lead monitor during this specific event.
