A pace is equal to one natural step. The average step about 30 inches long, but every soldier's step naturally varies, so it is imperative you find your own pace count. To use pace count accurately, a Soldier knows how many paces it takes to walk 100 m. To determine this, walk an accurately measured course (like 100 m or 600 m) and count the number of paces. If using a 600 m course, divide the total paces by 6 to find the average paces per 100 m. Each person who navigates dismounted should know their own pace count.
