24
Q

What are Grid Squares?

A
  • Lines intersecting at right angles horizontal and vertical grid lines
  • measures in 1,000 meters x 1,000 meters
25
Q

Describe a Saddle feature on a map?

A
  • Saddle (series of hills connected to each other near the top)
  • Represented as an hourglass or figure-eight shape
26
Q

Describe a Hill feature on a map?

A
  • Hill (area on high ground)
  • Shown on a map by contour lines forming a concentric circles.
  • Inside of the smallest closed circle is the hilltop
27
Q

Describe a Ridge feature on a map?

A

-Ridge (dip or lower b/w 2 areas of higher ground)

28
Q

Describe a Finger/Spur feature on a map?

A
  • Finger/Spur (sloping line of higher ground: ridge or hill)
  • Depicts a finger with a U or V pointing away from higher ground
29
Q

Describe a Draw feature on a map?

A
  • Draw (short,continuous sloping line low ground, cut into the side of ridge or hill)
  • Depicts a finger with a U or V pointing toward higher ground
30
Q

Describe a Depression feature on a map?

A
  • Depression (low point of sinkhole in the ground)

- Represented by closed contour lines that have tick marks pointing towards low ground

31
Q

What is the Cover in a lensatic compass?

A
  • Protects the floating dial and glass encasement.

- Contains the sighting wire and 2 luminous sighting dots for night navigation

32
Q

What is the Base in a lensatic compass?

A

-4 parts: Floating Dial, Glass Encasement, Bezel Ring, and Thumb Loop

33
Q

Describe the Floating Lens?

A

-Floating Dial (mounted on a pivot, so it can rotate freely when held level)
: Luminous arrow and “E” and “W” are printed on dial.: Letters fall east (E) 90 degrees, and west (W) 270 degrees
-2 scales: outer denotes MILS (black); inner denotes (red)

34
Q

Describe a Bezel Ring?

A
  • Clicks when turned

- (1 click=3 degrees; 120 click =full rotation)

35
Q

Describe the Thumb Loop?

A

-attacked to the base

36
Q

What is the Rear Sight Slot of a lensatic compass?

A

-Used in conjunction w/ front sights wire when aiming at objects

37
Q

How do u convect a Magnetic Azimuth to a Grid Azimuth?

A

-Add the G-M (Grid-Magnetic) angle

38
Q

How do u orient a map using a Compass?

A
  • (1) With the map flat on the ground; place a straightedge (left side of compass) along the magnetic north arrow on the declination diagram so that the cover of the compass is pointing towards the top of the map. This will put the fixed black index line of the compass parallel to the magnetic north arrow of the declination diagram.
    (2) Keeping compass aligned; rotate the map and compass simultaneously until the north-seeking arrow is below the fixed black index line on the compass
39
Q

How do u orient a map using Terrain Association?

A
  • (1) Locate prominent terrain features on the map that u would fine on the ground
  • (2) Align terrain feature w/ map
40
Q

What are the 3 ways to determine your position?

A

-Location by Inspection, Location by One-Point Resection, and Location by Two-Point Resection

41
Q

Describe Location by Inspection technique?

A

-By orienting the map by prominent features in the vicinity near where u are standing

42
Q

Describe how to use the Location by One-Point Resection technique?

A
  • (1) Identify a prominent feature on the ground and locate that feature on your map.
  • (2) Using compass-to-check technique sight on the feature and read the magnetic azimuth
  • (3) Convert the magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth
  • (4) Convert your grid azimuth to a grid back azimuth
  • (5) with protractor, plot this grid back azimuth from the feature on the map and extend it until it crosses the linear feature
  • (6) Conduct a map inspection of your resection
  • (7) When selecting a terrain feature, choose on that is perpendicular to the axis of the linear terrian feature so that when you plot the back azimuth on the map, the line will cross the linear more of less in a right angle
43
Q

Describe how to use a Location by Two-Point Resection technique?

A
  • (1) Select 2 prominent features on the ground whose positions can be located on the map. Should be 30 degrees but not greater than 150 degrees apart
  • (2) Use the check-to-check technique, determine magnetic azimuth to each object.
  • (3) Convert these magnetic azimuths to grid back azimuths
  • (4) With protractor, draw respective azimuths from these 2 points on your map.
  • (5) Extend the azimuth lines from these 2 points until they intersect. u are located at the point where they meet
  • (6) Conduct a map inspection to verify your posiotion
