Hey guys, 

As I was reading the Navy's tactical formation, I was confused withthe shorthand symbology section. It didn't explain how to use hand gestures to perform these symbols, does anyone know and kindly explain how to do this? thanks a lot.

These Symbolys are not intended for handsignals. These Symbols are just a overview for the following drawings in the document.

To add: while it may be obvious, the colour red typically refers to the bandit. Blue is typically the flight lead or the -1/-2 section where green is typically the wingman or the -3/-4 section.

A horizontal line across an arrow depending on context can mean either a stack or a section

A circle with an X refers to "bullseye nose low" as in a pure nose down either dive or vertical circle. I forget what pure high is, might be a circle with a dot in the middle, would have to double check that one.
