freedom of action,
will to act
once ID, it can be used against an enemy
catagories of CCRI

purpose of declination diagram
gives the information needed to convert grid azimuth on the map to magnetic azimuth on your compass
10 digit coordinants
1 metert
symbolizes grid north on your map
letters GN or Y
back azimuth
opposite driection of azimuth
calculate a back azimuth
> 180 degrees = subtract 180
<180 degrees = add 180
what is a grid azimuth
when an azimuth is plotted on a map between point A (start) and point B (end), the points are joined together by a straight line.
a protractor is used to measure the angle between grid north and the drawn line.
this measured azimuth is the grid azimuth
saddle
dip or low point between two areas of higher ground
valley
stretched out groovew in the land usually formed by streams or rivers
ridge
sloping line of high ground
depression
low point in the ground or sinkhole
draw

spur
aka finger

18,17determine location by resection
- orient map using compass
- ID 2-3 known distant locations on the ground and mark them on a map
- measure the magnetic azimuth to one of hte known positions from your location using the compass
- convert magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth
- convert the grid azimuth to a back azimuth
- cusing a protractor, draw a line for the back azimuth on the map from the known position back toward your unknown position
- repeat for a second position and third position
- the intersection is your location
- determine the grid coordinates to the desired accuracy

first two firearm safety rules
treat every weapon as if it were loaded
never point a weapon at anythingyou do not intend to shoot
Treat
Never
Keep
Keep
third and forth firearm safety rule
keep finger straight and offt he trigger until you are ready to fire
keep weapon on safe until you intend to fire
start of all 4 firearm safety rules
treat every weapon…
never point a weapon…
keep finger…
keep weapon on safe…
