1 USING THE MILITARY LENSATIC COMPASS

2 WARNING This presentation is intended as a quick summary, and not a comprehensive resource. If you want to learn Land Navigation in detail, either buy a book; or get someone, who has the knowledge and skills, to teach you in person.

3 NOTE To get the ideas across presented on these slides, many figures, pictures, and calculations may not be to scale and may be exaggerated for clarity.

4 Note: Prior to being issued any training *equipment, you will be required to sign a statement of liability agreeing to pay for anything you damage or lose. All items will be inspected and inventoried prior to your signature and at the end of the training day too. If you do not intend to sign this statement, then you may be denied training. * You may use your own equipment.

8 LAND NAVIGATION WITH MAP AND LENSATIC COMPASS

9 LAND NAVIGATION Why Learn Land Navigation? Training and practicing land navigation on foot provides the following everyday navigation (how not to get lost) benefits; - Tracking present location - Determining Distance - Sense of direction - How to read a topographic map -Terrain and map association - Spatial skills - Planning safe, practical routes - And more Navigational skills (Where am I?) (How far is it and am I there yet?) (Where do I want to go and where am I actually going?) (Do I understand the map?) (What hill or river am I looking at?) (Can I mentally visualize the landscape in 3D?) (Take a long safe route or a short risky route?) The best way to learn LAND NAVIGATION is to get "dirt time", that is, get out there with a map and compass! Navigation is not about finding yourself after you are lost (although that s what happens sometimes); it s about keeping track of your position as you move away from a known point. As you move you have to remain cognizant of the terrain you are leaving, of the terrain you are passing, and of the terrain that is ahead. Navigation in the wilderness means knowing your starting point, your destination, and your route to get there. These skills will allow you to venture farther off the beaten path than you ever thought before.

10 THIS PRESENTATION IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR PARTS PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 Basic Land Navigation The Lensatic Compass module 1 The Topographic Map modules 2, 3, 4, The Land and Map Association modules 5, 6 Intermediate Land Navigation Making Sense of Direction module 7 Tracking Present Location modules 8, 9, 10, 11 Determining Travel Distance modules 12, 13, 14 Advance Land Navigation Navigation Methods to Stay On Course module 15 Additional Skills of Land Navigation module 16 Planning to Navigate module 17 Expert Land Navigation Navigation in different types of Terrain module 18 Night Navigation module 19 Sustainment module 20

11 THESE ARE THE TRAINING MODULES Module 1 Lensatic Compass parts and features, and how to sight the compass by two different methods. Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Module 7 Module 8 Module 9 Module 10 Module 11 Module 12 Module 13 Module 14 Module 15 Module 16 Module 17 Module 18 Module 19 Module 20 Topo Map Margin what map margin data represents, map care, and how to properly fold a map. Topo Map Scale map sizes and how it affects amount of detail that will be shown. Topo Map Symbols you must understand them; to read and speak map language to others. Terrain Relief shows elevation, indicates terrain features and heights of natural features. Map Information what a protractor is for and how a map provides four kinds of information. Sense of Direction lateral drift, current bearing, obstacles, back azimuth, deliberate offset. Resection locate position with map only. Modified resection is with a map or compass. Intersection & Triangulation two methods to locate position by compass. Map Speaks Compass Language - there is no need to orient the map to find your position. Plotting Position Coordinates exact positioning, used to communicate to others with a map. Route Measure mapping straight-line distance, curvature distance, and slope distance. Pace Count using ranger pacing beads and estimating hiking speed. Travel Distance Estimation estimating by 100 meter rule, rule-of-thumb, and by time. Plan to Navigate in a group or alone, equipment, safety, responsibilities, route selection. Stay on Course advance reference points and advance baselines. Additional Land Navigation Skills estimate daylight, conserve energy, blisters, weather insight. Navigating Different Terrain special environments, featureless terrain, visibility, dense foilage. Night Navigation night adaptation, protecting night vision, navigate with lensatic compass. Sustainment maintaining skills, training others, setting up a land navigation course.

13 PART 1 BASIC LAND NAVIGATION MODULE 5 The Topographic Map Information Terrain Relief

14 THE TOPOGRPHIC MAP Without ever having been to a particular place, and with out talking to someone who has been there, you can already know quite a lot about it with a map. A map is a graphic representation of the earth s surface drawn to scale, as seen from above. It uses colors, lines, symbols, and labels to represent features found on the ground. However, the finest maps available are worthless unless the map user knows how to read them.

15 TOPOGRAPHIC MAP DESCRIPTION Reading a map is a language composed of lines, colors, and symbols. Five basic colors are used for Topographic Maps. Brown (Contour Lines) Black (Man Made Features, Roads, Trails) Blue (Water Features) Green (Vegetation) Red (Highway and Land Grids) Two minor colors Pink (Built up area, civilization) Purple (Updated Map Information) Symbols are used to represent the natural and man-made features of the earth. Lines show relief and elevation; it indicates variations in terrain features and heights of natural features. Every map has Margin Information about the map. Maps come in three scale sizes; SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE. Which affects the amount of area covered and detail that will be shown. A map is read for four basic kinds of information. Direction Distance Position Identification Maps must be taken care of and properly folded for field use.

16 Any Questions?

17 CONTOUR LINES Contour Interval ~ The contour interval is the distance between each contour line. The contour interval is found along the bottom edge, center of the map. Intermediate Contour ~ a brown line on a topographic map and represents a line of equal elevation. A=700 ft B=740 ft C=770 ft D=820 ft Index Contour ~ a bolder/wider brown line that has the elevation value marked at various intervals as a part of the line. Example: contour is 20 feet interval

18 CONTOUR LINES There is a dimension to establishing position which does depend on map reading skills. This is the vertical dimension. On a map it is referred to as relief. Knowledge of the relief of an area is extremely important to a wilderness navigator. The most graphic technique ever devised to show relief information is the contour line. If you were to walk a contour line you would never go down hill and never up hill, and eventually you would arrive back where you started.

31 Note: Prior to being issued any training *equipment, you will be required to sign a statement of liability agreeing to pay for anything you damage or lose. All items will be inspected and inventoried prior to your signature and at the end of the training day too. If you do not intend to sign this statement, then you may be denied training. * You may use your own equipment.
