Almost all of them are right. Good find. But Wedge formation looks like a hang loose sign over the shoulder on the non-firing hand side.

Oh, and Stop is wrong too. It looks like freeze but with an open hand. Also, they are missing a couple big ones like cease fire: wave open hand in front of face palm outward; and a no cover zone crossing (ie crossing a road): hold non firing hand diagonal, and move it diagonally across your torso... I used to do this stuff all the time back in my old unit.
Oh, and the rally has 2 options: rally-on-me which is shown in the pics, and rally point, where it's just 1 or 2 circles above the head, and pointing to a major landmark in the area.
I hope this was helpful to you peeps out there! :)

Sig you have any of the FM with all this in, I think I have the USMC from 80's version and ranger on I'll through my shit and see if I can find them. If I do I can scan them in and post.

For USMC gas was more like this:
1295
where you move your fists down towards your shoulders several times and/or (if the situation allows it) say GAS! GAS! GAS!
oh and preferably not look like such a tool as pictured above lol

I remember once our, ass first shirt decided to run a MOPP drill going from humping to full MOPP major problem as everyone drop their rucks and start to dig out the suits and everything after a copy of min of yelling a bunch of the guys just laid down and said they were dead. The rest were still trying to put them damn rubber boot covers on. The first shirt was so pissed he started trowing stuff at us, hit a guy with his 45 and the damn thing fell apart (one reason we got the 9mm the next year). After that he just up and passed out the corpsmen ran over and that was the end of him, had a heart attack and we got another first shirt that was actually a human being.

I don't have any TMs at all man. Sorry. Oh, and Max... Niiice.
This Story ZOMG! wow... seriously wow.
The only cool story I have with MOPP gear is that we raided a chemical complex in Iraq and we had to dress up in that crap. SO HOT! Middle of July. At least we found a bunch of stuff I'm not allowed to disclose via Internet, but it was worth dressing up in MOPP.
