2 SPARTA TRAINING AREA INTERMEDIATE LAND NAVIGATION COURSE 103 COURSE GUIDANCE FOR COURSE OIC/TEST ADMINISTRATOR I. Materials needed for Intermediate Land Navigation Course: a. STA 1:25000 scale map b. lensatic compass c. protractors d. pencils e. pre-made test sheets f. answer sheet matrixes II. Instructions for conducting the intermediate land navigation course: There are several pre-made test sheets included in the course binder. This course is designed to run several relays of students through in a minimal amount of time. There are also answer sheet matrixes included for easy grading. To use them, simply determine which test sheet the student is using, locate the test answer sheet, and compare the answers to the students test sheet. It is also important that students have an opportunity to determine their pace counts prior to beginning the course. Finally, the students should be briefed on, or have the opportunity to read, the contents of the student instruction sheet provided. 2

3 SPARTA TRAINING AREA INTERMEDIATE LAND NAVIGATION COURSE 103 COURSE COURSE REQUIREMENTS: STUDENT INSTRUCTION SHEET TASK: Navigate over hilly grassland between points while dismounted. CONDITION: Given a 1:25000 scale topographic map of Sparta Training Area, compass, protractor, pencil, and either: (1) an eight digit grid coordinate of the next point or (2) a distance and/or azimuth to the next point. STANDARD: Correctly determine the identification or eight-digit coordinate of all points to which you are directed. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a four-leg course over hilly grassland. COURSE POINT IDENTIFICATION: Start points are identified as SP1 through SP5. All other course stakes are identified with an alphanumeric designation containing one letter and one number. Identifications are posted on 1 by 1 signs painted half white and half international orange and are between 5 and 7 above ground level. PACE COUNT: An individual soldiers pace count may be identified utilizing the start points. These stakes are each 50 meters apart. SAFETY: The panic azimuth is 180 degrees. Following this azimuth will lead you to the perimeter fence adjacent to Industrial Drive. If not comfortable with your present location once near Industrial, remain in place to be picked up by your unit or range control personnel. INJURIES: If you are injured and unable to follow the panic azimuth to the road, call for help. If you come upon someone who is injured, or respond to someone s call for assistance, render required first aid within your capabilities and knowledge. If you are the only person with the injured person, try calling for assistance. If a second person arrives, one of you should stay with the injured person while the other person follows the panic azimuth and gets help. If no one responds within a reasonable period of time, you must judge whether to wait with the person or to get help. If you leave REMEMBER THE INJURED PERSON S LOCATION and mark if necessary so you can find it again. DO NOT IGNORE SOMEONE S CALL FOR ASSISTANCE the safety of your fellow soldiers is more important than completing the course. PREMATURE TERMINATION: If for any reason it is determined that conditions are no longer safe for the conduct of the land navigation course, a horn will sound three times in succession. IMMEDIATELY follow the panic azimuth to the road and wait for further instructions. SAFETY CONT TEST CONDUCT: 3

4 Determine you pace count. You should be able to perform to standard all skill level 1-4 navigation tasks listed in the Soldier s Manual of Common Tasks. You will be provided with a STA 1:25,000 scale map, a compass, protractor, pencil, and test sheet. The test sheet will direct you from one course point to the next by giving you either an eight digit grid coordinate (day), or distance and azimuth (night). You will be asked to record the identification number of the point you have been directed to. Record this information in the appropriate space on the test sheet. Once you have reached and recorded the final point, return to assembly area within allotted time and turn in test sheet for grading. You will have minutes (hours) to complete the course. At the end of this time, a horn will sound three times. Immediately return to the road along the panic azimuth. Do you know the panic azimuth? Do you have any questions? 4
