3. Class Objectives
Determine Azimuth on the Map using a Military Protractor
Find your Location on the Ground using Resection
Determine a Movement route using a map

4. Determine Azimuth on a Map Using a Military Protractor
Outer set of
Numbers = MILS
(not used)
Inner set of
Numbers = Degrees
Reference Lines
Center point

5. Determine Azimuth on a Map Using a Military Protractor
Place Center Point on your Start Point
Using Reference Lines and Grid Lines Align Protractor in a good North South Orientation
Find Azimuth on Inner Ring of Numbers
Place Small Mark on map at Degree
Using protractor as straight Edge draw line between Start Point and the Mark you Made This is Your Azimuth line.

6. Determine your Location on the Ground Using Resection
Define Resection -Resection is the method of locating one's position on a map by determining the grid azimuth to at least two well-defined locations that can be pinpointed on the map. For greater accuracy, the desired method of resection would be to use three or more well-defined locations.

7. Determine your Location on the Ground Using Resection
Orient the map using the compass.
Identify two or three known distant locations on the ground and mark them on the map.
Measure the magnetic azimuth to one of the known positions from your location using a compass.
Convert the magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth.
Convert the grid azimuth to a back azimuth. Using a protractor, draw a line for the back azimuth on the map from the known position back toward your unknown position.
Repeat 3, 4, and 5 for a second position and a third position, if desired.
The intersection of the lines is your location. Determine the grid coordinates to the desired accuracy.

8. Determine your Location on the Ground Using Resection

9. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Shortest Route (straight Line)
Most Tactical Route (Stealth)
Safest Route

10. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Shortest Route
Find an Azimuth and Go
Terrain?
Time of Day?

11. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Most Tactical
Wont be Seen By Enemy
Use the terrain
Stay away from heavily traveled areas i.e. roads, trails.
Not necessarily quickest or safest

12. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Safest Route
usually the easiest
Pay careful attention to terrain
Stick to improved roads and good trails
Defiantly not the shortest or most Tactical
Maybe the quickest

13. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Find your Waypoints
What is a waypoint -A waypoint is a reference point in physical space used for purposes of navigation.
Use waypoints when you are changing direction or to verify your azimuth

14. Determine a Movement Route using a Map
Determine Azimuth and Distance Between Waypoints
***If Traveling By Road Waypoints are only needed when changing Roads***
