Land-nav.

This is coolbert:

“'Bringing back land navigation, understanding how to read [read and use] a map and a compass — that skill is extremely important as we look for large-scale combat and integrated environments,' . . . 'You need to know how to navigate from one point to the next without a GPS, and that’s a skill that we’re going to bring back in the future.'"

“'We’re looking for field craft, bringing back a field training exercise,' . . . 'We took that out of the Basic Leader Course [BLC], and we’re trying to put that back in.'”

WW3 TYPE SCENARIO WARFARE. YOUR ADVERSARY ABLE TO JAM WITH IMPUNITY CONVENTIONAL GROUND POSITIONING SYSTEM MEANS OF LAND NAVIGATION.

"SOLDIERS STRUGGLE TO FIND THEIR WAY AS LAND NAV RETURNS TO BASIC LEADER COURSE"

From https://coffeeordie.com  | October 13, 2022.

"WASHINGTON, DC — Since the Army put land navigation back into its mandatory curriculum for would-be sergeants, about half of the soldiers who have participated in a trial program have failed, a senior enlisted leader said on Tuesday, Oct. 11."

"Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel Hendrex from the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, said the trial program has seen 'on average, 40% to 60% failure rate on the basic skill set of land navigation.'"

Correct. Peer foe on the future battlefield going to be able to deny access to the American Ground Positioning System [GPS]. Troops at the first-line supervisor level and beyond that going to need to do map reading and land navigation in the ancient and venerable way, map, compass, protractor. Alternative method for the American GI to find his way on the battlefield of the future has be learned and practiced. Now!

In my experience map reading and land navigation that # 1 reason a troop will fail a NCO course.

And remember your pacing. How many steps do you take to equal a distance of 100 meters!
