1. Equipment and Conduct.
| ID | DESCRIPTION | |
| a. | To conduct night vision exercises indoors, the instructor uses the following equipment: a room which can be completely blacked out, white screens (1.5 meters high) placed at opposite sides of the room with bases 2 meters from the floor, shadowgraphs suspended from the ceiling 4 meters apart and 3 meters from the screens, charts of the light spectrum at intervals of 4 meters along the walls above the screens, and red lights suspended from the ceiling above each spectrum chart. | |
| b. | The shadowgraph (fig. 103) places images of objects on a screen as they appear in natural darkness; therefore, it provides an excellent training aid for instruction in night vision. | |
| c. | A shadowgraph can be built from a box 30 by 30 by 24 centimeters. Within the box are the following: a small 110-volt bulb, an electric clock motor, and an arm with airplane silhouettes on each end fastened to the clock motor. The clock motor causes a rotating airplane silhouette to be cast on the screen every 30 seconds. A cutout with silhouettes of various objects is placed on the from box, reproducing the objects on the w]1ite screen on the wall. The light source line should include 11. rheostat wired in series so equal illumination of all screens is achieved. | |
| d. | A field expedient shadowgraph may be constructed when equipment is not accessible for a more elaborate 0ne (fig. 104). An ammunition box or sometl1Lng similar may be used. The top and one side of the box is removed and silhouette cut from heavy paper and placed over the open side. A modified flashlight is used to project the silhouettes on a screen. | |
| e. | For conducting the exercises outdoors, the instructor uses natural terrain features, man made objects, and individuals. The shadowgraphs and screens should not be used outdoors. |
2. Training.
a. Training in night vision can be conducted indoors or outdoors, but it is better to teach the subject indoors first and to teach all aspects of it in one period.
b. The procedure for outdoor training is the same as for indoor training. However, the light intensity should be equal to that of a brilliant half moon. If the light is too dim, little can be seen; if it is too bright, the training is of little value.
3. Exercises.
a. Indoors.
(1) The class is seated before the room is blacked out, and night vision is explained. The room is then blacked out and the shadowgraph is turned on. The instructor continues to question the class to determine the rapidity of dark adaptation among its members. He has the students look at a point where the floor meets the wall and then has them move their eyes up the wall and back down again in short abrupt movements.
This is scanning and helps the students to locate the screen. After they see the screen, the instructor directs the class to look first toward one side of the screen and then the other, glancing out of the corners of their eyes. This is off center vision. They continue to shift their eyes in this manner until their angle of off-center vision is established.
The instructor continues the practice of off-center vision and scanning until the students have developed confidence. Many men see the images, but do not believe. such images are actually present until their confidence is developed.

Figure 104. Field expedient Shadowgraph.
(2) When all students' eyes have become dark-adapted, red lights are turned on and the color spectrum is pointed out to them. Their attention is directed to the apparent loss of several colors and the fact that the other colors appear as various shades of black or gray.
Red lights are then turned off to demonstrate that night vision has been retained. The instructor then has the students cover one eye, and turns on an ordinary white light. Students destroy the night vision of the open eye by looking directly at the light for about a minute. The students are again shown the color spectrum, and it is pointed out that the colors which had apparently disappeared under the red light, all had pigments of red in them.
This demonstrates that red colors cannot readily be seen under red light. After about 2 minutes in normal light, the classroom is darkened. The students keep one eye closed and see that dark adaption had been preserved by keeping one eye dark-adapted. When the students open both eyes, the eye not dark adapted will feel as though a heavy weight is pulling it down. This is because the eye is attempting to adjust to the same degree as the dark-adapted eye.
b. Outdoors.
The procedure is the same as indoors except available natural terrain features, man made objects, and demonstrators are used. Outdoors, the students also observe through binoculars, noting the improvement in vision over the naked eye. (See figs. 105 and 106 for two outdoor layouts which can be used as guides.)

1. Basic Rules.
In training your men to find direction by the sun, you must follow two basic rules.
a. Teach a Simple Method. Most of the time, your men have little or no experience in direction finding and are not familiar with the terms commonly used in teaching direction finding. Most of them will never have an occasion to use an expedient method for finding direction unless they find themselves in a survival situation. Many months, or even years, may pass between your instruction and the time it is put to use. For these reasons, your men must learn an expedient method which is easy to remember, easy to perform, and which has been explained in terms they understand.
b. Develop Confidence. A soldier must have confidence in the method he is taught. If he does not believe in a method, he is reluctant to try to use it. After instruction and demonstration, conduct practical exercises to insure that each soldier:
(1) Knows the method will enable him to find any desired direction.
(2) Can perform the method without difficulty.
(3) Has complete confidence in his own ability to find direction.
2. Finding Direction.
The direction-finding method described in paragraph 23 of this manual is explained in simple terms and is easy to remember and follow.
When followed with reasonable care, it is the most accurate, expedient method your men can use. After they have become proficient in this method, you can improve their ability to use the method by teaching the following:
| LETTER | DESCRIPTION | |
| a. | If the shadow cast by the stick is too short for convenient use (because the sun is high in the sky), tilt the stick so that the shadow is longer. This does not affect accuracy. | |
| b. | If the day is hazy and the shadow tip is not clear, tap the end of the stick with a finger. Movement of the shadow will help you locate the shadow tip. | |
| c. | If a sunlit level spot is hard to find, as in heavy woods or on sloping terrain, you need find a spot only large enough for the tip of the stick to cast a shadow. A spot about the size of your hand is enough. | |
| d. | The more "readings" you make, the more accurate your course. "Readings" made b~tween 1000 and 1400 are more accurate than those made before or after these hours. |
3. Determining Time.
Teach your men to use this direction-finding method to find approximate time of day.
| LETTER | DESCRIPTION | |
| a. | They must mark north, south, east, and west by drawing a cross (+) as indicated in paragraph 23 of this manual. Then, place the stick in the ground at the point where the two lines cross (here the stick must be straight up and down). The shadow of the stick becomes the hour hand of a 12-hour "clock"; west is 0600; east is 1800. If the shadow falls on the north side of the east-west line, north is 1200. If the shadow falls on the south side, south is 1200. Mark off equal spaces for the other hours between 0600 and 1800. The shadow of the stick points at the approximate time (fig. 107). | |
| b. | The times indicated are approximate because the "clock" has divided the day-light period of the day into 12 "hours: which are not equal in length. ·when the shadow points at 1200, it is marking the approximate middle of the daylight period of the day. Although the "clock" is not as accurate as an actual clock or watch, it is a valuable aid when you do not have an actual timepiece. | |
| c. | When north is 1200, the hour hand moves clockwise-from left to right. When south is 1200, the hand moves counter clockwise from right to left. |

SECTION I. PREPARATION.
1. Make a detailed map study and know the terrain over which you will pass, especially the terrain in the objective area.
2. Select your route carefully; consider the use of difficult terrain. Terrain is seldom impassible to a determined patrol. Plan an "offset" in your route if this will assist in locating the objective. (An offset is a planned deviation to the right or left of the straight line azimuth to the objective.) Use it to verify your location right or left of the objective. Each degree you offset will move you about 17 meters to the right or left for each 1,000 meters you travel ( figs. 108-109).
3. If possible, take subordinate leaders with you on reconnaissance.
4. When appropriate to the mission, arrange to have a light aircraft reconnoiter ahead of the patrol to keep you informed of any enemy activity along your route and act as radio relay when required.
5. Consider all types of grenades: fragmentation, white phosphorus, concussion, and smoke, together with the use of the grenade launcher.
6. Reconnaissance patrols should carry at least one automatic weapon. It provides valuable sustained firepower.
7. Avoid taking weapons requiring different types of ammunition. It makes ammunition redistribution difficult.
8. Carry individual weapons cleaning equipment on all patrols.
9. Carry gloves to protect hands.
10. Carry at least two flashlights and two each of such critical items as binoculars, wire cutters, and fuze crimpers.
11. Carry extra flashlight and radio batteries on long patrols.
12. Every man should carry his canteen and poncho. Consider having each man carry two canteens on long patrols. If special circumstances make it undesirable for every man to carry his canteen and poncho, carry at least two of each in the patrol. Ponchos can be used to construct rafts, shelters, and litters, and to conceal lights.
13. Have every man carry extra socks.
14. Harness should be worn when the weapons belt is worn.
15. Consider the use of scout dogs, if amiable.
16. Use friction tape to secure rifle swivels, sling, and other items which might rattle.
17. Be sure to camouflage the back of the neck, behind the ears, and the back of the hands.
18. Provide for security by assigning every man an area of responsibility.
19. Designate at least two pacers and use the average of their individual counts.
20. Fold maps before departing so they can be more easily handled when checking.
21. Preset compasses before departing. Preset more than one compass for each setting required.
22. Prepare a list of questions or a checklist to be used at friendly positions with which you will coordinate.
23. Consider the use of field expedient antennas to increase radio range.
24. A length of rope secured to the harness can be used for binding prisoners, climbing or descending obstacles, and crossing streams.
25. Carry a grappling hook, with a 30-foot length of ¼ -inch rope. This can be used to dislodge items that may be booby trapped, such as pieces of equipment, weapons, covers of "spider holes," and doors of tunnels. This is particularly useful in counter guerrilla operations. An expedient hook can be made of large, bent nails or very heavy wire.
26. Two pieces of luminous tape, ½ inch by l½ inch, and 1 inch apart, pinned or sewed to the underside rear center of the collar aid in control and movement on dark nights. Turn the collar down when near the enemy. When the soft field cap is worn the tape may be pinned or sewed at the rear center of the cap 1/2 inch above the bottom edge; cover or remove it when near the enemy.
27. Become as familiar as possible with the sounds of birds and other animals in your area of operations, especially the sounds they make when disturbed. This applies to both wild and domestic birds and animals and is particularly useful in counter guerrilla operations. These sounds may warn you of the enemy's approach or presence. They may also alert the enemy to your approach or presence.
28. Use available visual aids in issuing your patrol order. The use of the blanket board, blackboard, or a sketch on the ground is helpful.
29. Prearrange and rehearse all signals to be and Keep signals simple.
30. Plan time for patrol members to dark adapt their eyes if you have a night patrol.
31. Clean, check, and test fire all weapons before departure.
32. Conduct rehearsals on terrain similar to that over which you will operate. Conduct day and night rehearsals for a night patrol.
33. Inspect your patrol carefully before rehearsals and before departure. Question men to check their knowledge and understanding of the actions planned.
34. Be sure that maps are not marked with information that might aid the enemy.
Figure 108. Use of offset.
SECTION II. EXECUTION.
35. On small patrols, the count should be sent up automatically after each halt or passage of a danger area. In large patrols, use the chain of command to account for men.
36. Use the point for security and not for navigation.
37. Check navigation frequently. You are responsible.
38. On long patrols, change point and compass men occasionally.
39. Use an alternate challenge and password outside friendly areas.
40. In mountainous terrain, use ridge lines for movement whenever possible, but do not move along ridge tops. Stay off the skyline.
41. Weapons are always carried at a ready position.
42. Cut enemy wire only when necessary. Make a reconnaissance first.
43. When moving at night, take advantage of any noises such as wind, vehicles, aircraft, battle sounds, and even sounds caused by insects.
44. Do not move on roads and trails unless absolutely necessary.
45. Aid movement in daylight, especially in dense terrain, by using night compass settings.
46. A void all human habitations.
47. Bypass enemy positions or obstacles by offsetting around them. Stay oriented by moving at right angles for specified distances. For example, you are moving ori an azimuth of 360° and wish to bypass an obstacle or position. Change direction to 90° and move for 100 meters, change direction back to 360° and move for 100 meters, change direction the 270° and move for 100 meters then change direction to 360° and you are back on your original route.
48. Avoid lateral movement across the forward portion of the enemy area.
49. Over short distances such as the width of a road, the compass can be used for signaling at night. A piece 0£ luminous tape can also be used.
50. Crossing roads in enemy territory is a matter of common sense. Each situation may dictate a different method. You will not violate established procedure if you properly reconnoiter before crossing the road. Establish adequate security and move silently and quickly to avoid detection. A main point of consideration in any road crossing is control of your unit. Some of the accepted methods for crossing roads are:
a. Patrol can form a skirmish line and move quickly and quietly across the road.
b. The entire patrol can form a file, following the footsteps of the man in front in order to minimize footprints.
c. Men cross the road a £ew at a time until patrol is across.
51. Crossing streams is similar to crossing roads; reconnaissance and security are necessary.
52. Break contact with the enemy by the "clock system," by fire and movement, by a combination of both, or by an immediate action drill.
53. Know your location at all times.
This is particularly important when you change direction and when you land on an airmobile or waterborne patrol. A relatively slight error can cause you to miss your objective.
Figure 109. Offset around enemy positions or obstacles.
SECTION III. MISCELLANEOUS.
54. Keep the cutting edge of the entrenching tool extremely sharp. It is a good silent weapon and can be used in lieu of a machete.
55. A garrote can be used for killing a sentry or capturing a prisoner.
56. Do not jeopardize security by letting ear flaps and hoods interfere with the hearing ability of the patrol.
57. Keep talking to a minimum. Use arm and hand signals to the maximum.
58. When reconnoitering enemy positions, keep a covering force within supporting distance of the reconnaissance element.
59. Never throw trash on ground while on patrol. Bury and camouflage it to prevent detection by the enemy.
60. When contacting friendly agents such as partisans, never take the entire patrol to make contact. Have one man make the contact and cover him.
61. Dark, rainy, windy nights are best for patrols.
SECTION I - INTRODUCTION.
1. Purpose and Scope
This appendix provides guidance for the construction and operation of an infiltration course, including personnel and equipment needed and safety factors involved. The course is primarily designed to psychologically condition the individual soldier to the emotional-shock encountered in initial combat and acquaint him with the sounds and sensations of close, overhead "enemy" fire.
2. Requirements
AR 612-35 specifies who will complete the infiltration course prior to assignment to an overseas replacement station.
3. Time Allocation
The course will cover a 3-hour period, 1 hour for the daylight phase and 2 hours for the night phase. Basic trainees will not receive this course of instruction until after they have completed the sixth week of training.
SECTION II. CONSTRUCTION.
4. Layout.
| LETTER | DESCRIPTION | |
| a. | The course requires an area approximately 100 by 200 meters with an impact area approximately 4,000 meters in depth. It is laid over generally level ground having minor high spots and depressions. A suggested layout is shown in figure 110. Exact arrangement, however, may be varied to adopt to local terrain and material available. | |
| b. | A restraining fence will be positioned in front of each machine gun position to prevent soldiers from crawling directly in front of the guns as they approach the end of the course. Wire mesh will be used as a protective guard around demolition pits and the pits otherwise constructed to conform to specifications in AR 385-53. | |
| c. | An assault course will be constructed to the rear of the machine gun positions. It will consist of an assault position of shell craters and an objective 20 to 30 meters :from the assault position. The objective will consist of dummy enemy machine gun positions and bayonet dummies in slit trenches or foxholes. The objective will be camouflaged. | |
| d. | When terrain is available in the immediate vicinity of the main course, a demonstration lane similar to that shown in figure 111 will be constructed. |
5. Machine gun Platforms.
a. Four stationary platforms are needed to mount the machineguns. The platform approved for use on an infiltration course is shown in figure 112.
b. The mounting of machineguns used on infiltration courses is of major importance. The mounts authorized to be used in connection with this firing are as follows:
(1) Specially designed permanent concrete or metal base to install the M142 mount.
(2) The base will be constructed so that no movement of the mount results from the forces of firing. The M142 mount with this base is the only approved mount to be used on this course.
Figure 110. Type of infiltration course.
Figure 111. Demonstration lane.
Figure 112. machine gun platform.
(3) The forward end of the gun must rest lightly on the depression stop of the fixture.
6. Communication Plan.
One telephone is located at each machine gun position and in the starting trench. All telephones are connected to the telephone in the range safety officer's tower. Telephones will be connected in such a manner that the range officer can talk to all machine gunners and the NCO in the starting trench at the same time.
SECTION III. OPERATION.
7. Personnel Requirements
a. Officers-one. Range safety officer.
b. Noncommissioned officers- two, plus one for each 40 soldiers to negotiate the come. One safety noncommissioned officer who is also a qualified machine gunner, one ammunition noncommissioned officer who is also assistant safety noncommissioned officer, one noncommissioned officer who leads the first order out of the starting trench, and one noncommissioned officer for each 40-man order to start the order out of the starting bench.
c. Enlisted men-seven. Four qualified machine gunner, one demonstrator, one qualified demolition man, and one aid man.
Figure 112. Continued.
8. Equipment Requirements.
| ID | NAME | NUMBER | |
| a. | Public address system | ---------- | 1 |
| b. | Machine guns | ---------- | 4 |
| c. | Breech bore gauge | ---------- | 1 |
| d. | Telephones | ---------- | 6 |
| e. | Machine, blasting, 10-cap capacity | ---------- | 1 |
| f. | Ambulance | ---------- | 1 |
9. Ammunition Requirements.
Ammunition requirements are based on a company-size unit (TA 23-100-1).
10. Uniform.
| a. | Soldiers who are to negotiate the course will wear steel helmets and individual combat equipment and will carry individual weapons. The helmet of each soldier will be marked) on each side, in chalk, with a large number. |
| |
|
| b. | The demonstrator(s) negotiating the course as described before will be dressed and equipped in the same manner as the soldier(s) undergoing the training. |
11. Conduct of Course.
a. Day Phase (Dry Run).
| NUMBER | DESCRIPTION | |
| (1) | At the outset of the daylight (dry run) phase, a conference is held to explain the purpose of the infiltration course and demonstrate the proper individual procedures to be used while negotiating obstacles under fire. The demonstration includes high and low crawls, how to move under a double apron barbed wire fence, and negotiation of log obstacles. The demonstration is conducted on the demonstration lane, if available, otherwise it is conducted on the main course. | |
| (2) | After the conference and demonstration, soldiers who are to negotiate the course are formed into orders (not more than 40 per order) , moved to the starting trench, and spaced equally along the trench (about 2½ meters apart). At a prearranged signal from the range safety officer, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the first order leads the order out and through the course. The high crawl is used except where moving under wire, when all men roll over and go under on their backs. They crawl the length of the course, into the trenches at the end, out of the trenches, and into the. assault position shell craters. Here they fix bayonets, throw a grenade (practice or dummy) at the objective, and charge the position using the bayonet on the dummies. | |
| (3) | The range safety officer signals succeeding order out of the starting trench in a manner to insure that there is no era w ling at the starting line. | |
| (4) | All available noncommissioned officers position themselves on the course to single out and correct (by helmet number) soldiers who are not performing properly. | |
| (5) | A critique is held at the end of the dry run phase. | |
| (6) | Soldiers not participating in the dry run phase receive concurrent training in an adjacent area until required to negotiate the course. |
b. Night Phase (Line Fire).
| NUMBER | DESCRIPTION | |
| (1) | A conference is held to review the day phase (dry run), individual actions required (actions under flares, for example), and safety measures, especially these applicable to the night phase. | |
| (2) | Uniform is the same as for the day phase. | |
| (3) | Order composition is the same as for the day phase, but no more than three orders are allowed to negotiate the course at the same time. | |
| (4) | Machine guns and demolition pits are fired during the night phase. In addition, one white star parachute flare is fired as each order approaches the halfway position on the course. The use of the flare requires each soldier to demonstrate the proper action to be taken under enemy illumination. Machine guns are fired with a systematic rhythm, i.e., number 1, 2, 3, and 4 gun in sequence, firing three 5-round bursts per weapon. Care is taken to insure a machine gun is Spot firing directly over a demolition pit when the pit is fired. Only one gun fires at any one time. | |
| (5) | As each order reaches the trench behind the machine guns, the men are moved to a point sufficiently distant from the course so that a normal conversational tone critique can be held and names checked to determine that all personnel who started are present (the objective is not assaulted). | |
| (6) | Floodlights or searchlights are not used to simulate flares. Use of floodlights is restricted to emergencies and during the time demolition pits are being reloaded. Demolition pits are not reloaded while troops are on the course. Demolition pits are reloaded a sufficient number of times to insure that each order negotiating the course is subjected to the same number of explosions. |
SECTION III. RECORDS AND REPORTS.
12. Officers When an officer has successfully completed the infiltration course, a notation to that effect will be entered on his DA Form 66 (Officer Qualification Record).
13. EMisted Personnel When an enlisted man has successfully completed the course, a notation to that effect will be entered on his DA Fo:rm 20 (Enlisted Qualification Record).
SECTION V. SAFETY.
14. General.
Close supervision of weapons firing, demolitions, and personnel participating in the course is necessary for safety and proper training.
15. Zeroing.
Zeroing procedures will be accomplished in accordance with AR 385-63. Additionally, the following will be observed: Install check targets down range at an appropriate location beyond the farthest point which troops negotiating the course may pass. Check targets must include an appropriate aiming point, and a clearly demarcated horizontal safety line.
Check targets must be so positioned that the safety line is exactly 44 inches above the highest point of ground, log, or other obstacle over which troops travel in each gun's sector of fire. Before each use of the infiltration course, sight all guns and all barrAls to be used; verify this sighting by firing check bursts, insuring that all projectiles are above the horizontal safety line. Eliminate from further infiltration course use any barrel which produces dispersion in which bullets pass below the safety line.
16. Firing Limits.
The following firing limits are established for firing the M60 machine gun on infiltration courses.
a. Not over '70 rounds in a continuous burst.
b. Not over 10 minutes of sustained fire (70 rounds per minute in 3- to 5-round bursts).
17. Barrel Replacements Should any of the above firing limits be reached, the barrel will be replaced and will not be reused until it has been air cooled to ambient temperature conditions.
18. New Barrels
All barrels used on the infiltration course will be new. These barrels will not be continued in use after they have fired in excess of 10,000 rounds. No barrels fired on occasions other than in connection with infiltration courses will be used, even though there is a record of acceptable barrel life remaining. Check firing as outlined in paragraph 15 above will be conducted after every 1,000 rounds fired in the same barrel for that day.
19. Firing.
No firing will be conducted on this course with M60 machine guns which have had in excess of 35,000 rounds total life since the last complete overhaul.
20. Stoppages.
If a stoppage occurs, it must be determined that a round is not chambered before firing is started again. This determination is made by removing the cover and feed tray and closely inspecting the weapon. The design of the gun tlo • 11ot permit the gunner to readily observe if there is a round in the chamber.
21. Firing the M60.
Th M60 fires from the open-bolt position. Should the rod fail to move to the 1.·ear far enough to permit engagement of the sear, the gun may continue to fire without control. This condition is also known as "run-away gun." It can be stopped by twisting the ammunition belt as close as possible to the feed cover so as to separate the links, thus cutting off the supply of ammunition to the gun. Fouling, foreign matter, or lack of lubrication may cause this condition. Worn or broken parts can also cause uncontrolled firing.
22. Barrel Damage.
A rigid inspection and maintenance schedule of the barrel, gun, and mount will be established to eliminate or minimize the possibility of stoppages, uncontrolled fires, barrel liner fractures, and other malfunctions. Preventive maintenance checks and service will be performed as prescribed in TM 9-1005-224-12. The Ml42 mount will be maintained in the same manner and on the same schedule as for the Ml22 tripod mount. The forms illustrated in figures 113 and 114 will be used. Record procedures found in TM 38-750 will be followed.
23. Requirements
All other requirements of AR 385-63 pertinent to firing ou im infiltration course or firing overhead of troops will apply.
