GTO BY RAMA

17 SSB (R)

FULL GROUP TASK (FGT)

The Final Group Task (FGT) is the last task in the GTO, which is given to the
candidates to be executed by the whole group. This is long and somewhat
more difficult. All the rules, principles and instructions are same as that of

Progressive Group Task (PGT).

THE PHYSICS OF MAKING BRIDGES
In order to perform well in the PGT, HGT, COMMAND TASK and FGT one should
know how to bridge between the structures in order to reach the finish line.

We should reach the finish line using helping materials like phatta, balli and
ropes. While crossing we need to keep in mind the rules and colour codes.

In this topic we are going to learn different types of bridges and their
application on different types of structures usually there in the GTO outdoor
tasks.

We knowingly or unknowingly use basic physics in our daily lives which are
applicable in bridge building. There are two types of bridges. They are direct
and indirect bridging. Direct bridging is simple, where as to make indirect

bridge one needs know the cantilever or fulcrum principle.
