In today's lesson, we will be aiming to give you a deeper understanding of personal camouflage and concealment. Although you may know most of this information anyway, you can always treat this lesson as a revision session.
Why are these important? Here's a short clip. Make notes on what you think helps to conceal these soldiers in their surroundings.
Lying next to a tree isn't the best of ideas, not only does it make it easier for the enemy to give a fire order, but it also creates an unnatural bulge against the bottom of the tree.
Which is Good and Bad? What made you decide?
Who here has played hide and seek? What measures do you go to e.g. turning off the light? Keeping as still as possible?
Although you may not realize it, you are trying to blend in with your surroundings so that you are making it harder for the 'seeker' to find you.
This very much relates to what today's lesson is all about.
You can camouflage your rifle by attaching scrim to any parts that may shine in the light.
Why is this a good idea?
When camping, it is really important to clear up properly and cover any traces of a fire. Removing all your rubbish such as ration packaging and cooking equipment. This will prevent the enemy of knowing that you have been there.
Shape - Blend in with your surroundings and break up your human shape as much as possible.
Shadow - Keep in the shadows of larger objects.
Silhouette - Don't stand against the skyline or lean out of windows.
Texture - Don't contrast with your surroundings e.g. green camouflage when patrolling in the desert.
Movement - Must be low, to the ground and cautious. The human eye is drawn to fast movement, especially at night.
