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.

Lay a straight-edged piece of paper on the map so that the edge touches both points and extends past them. Make a tick mark on the edge of the paper at each point. Move the paper to the graphic bar scale. Align the right tick mark with a printed number in the primary scale so that the left tick mark is in the extension scale. The primary scale gives the whole unit distance, and the extension scale gives smaller increments.

Intersection is the location of an unknown point by successively occupying at least two (preferably three) known positions on the ground, and then map sighting on the unknown location. It is used to locate distant or inaccessible points or objects such as enemy targets and danger areas.

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.

Place a tick mark on the paper and map at the beginning point. Align the edge of the paper along a straight portion and make a tick mark on both map and paper when the paper leaves the straight portion. Keeping both tick marks together, pivot the paper until another straight portion is aligned with the edge. Continue this until the measurement is completed. Move the paper to the graphic scale to determine the ground distance from the first tick mark to the last.

Unnumbered contour lines that fall between the index lines that are a smaller interval than the index lines. They are thinner than index lines.

Promotion Board Question #

These contour lines resemble dashes. They show changes in elevation of at least one-half the contour interval. Supplementary lines are normally found where there is very little change in elevation, such as on fairly level terrain.
