About

Make reconnaissance of area to be occupied. If aerial photographs and large-scale maps are obtainable, study them before and during reconnaissance. Purpose is to (1) Provide adequate dispersion. (2) Site unit parking within dark and heavily textured areas of the terrain pattern. Make use of overhead cover, clumps of bushes, scrub growth, and folds or other shadow-casting irregularities in the ground surface. (3) Take advantage of overhead cover and the terrain pattern to conceal traffic circulation. b. Make a track plan, preferably on a map overlay. This is necessary to prevent violations of camouflage discipline and to take full ad vantage of natural terrain features. Copies should be distributed to all motor officers and key unit N.C.O.'s.
