The U.S. Army’s official guide to map reading, determining location, and navigating For a soldier, knowing where you are is a matter of life and death, and so it comes as no surprise that the Army has produced the most complete, clear, and thorough guide to map reading and navigation available. The book starts with a comprehensive explanation of the meaning and uses of maps, whether photographic, planimetric (standard-style), or topographic, then proceeds to the use of those maps, discussing compass techniques, celestial navigation, and determination of distance. There is a detailed section on interpreting topographic maps, with notes on tactical considerations for differing terrain, as well as determining the ease of movement through an area. The book’s crucial, well-illustrated chapters have invaluable information on: Training Strategy Maps Marginal Information and Symbols Grids Scale and Distance Direction Overlays Aerial Photographs Navigation Equipment and Methods Elevation Relief Terrain Association Mounted Land Navigation Navigation in Different Types of Terrain Unit Sustainment There is also information on field sketching, the tricky art of map folding, units of measure and conversion factors, map symbols, orienteering, and the global positioning system (GPS).

The report describes a field study designed to measure soldier performance of land navigation and other mission tasks using current navigational equipment and to compare these data with performance using navigational information integrated on a helmet-mounted display (HMD). Measures of stress, cognitive performance, and workload were also obtained. The results indicated that the soldiers traveled less distance between waypoints and experienced lower levels of mental workload using information presented on the HMD than they did using current navigational equipment. As might be expected, differences in time between manual and automatic map updates were significant, but no differences were found between current equipment and the HMD condition in object detection, determination of magnetic azimuth, or call for fire tasks. Differences between conditions in levels of stress and cognitive performance were not significant.

The purpose of this field manual is to provide a standardized source document for Armywide reference on map reading and land navigation. This manual applies to every soldier in the Army regardless of service branch, MOS, or rank. This manual also contains both doctrine and training guidance on these subjects. Part One addresses map reading and Part Two, land navigation. The appendixes include a list of exportable training materials, a matrix of land navigation tasks, an introduction to orienteering, and a discussion of several devices that can assist the soldier in land navigation.
