INTRODUCTION TO CAMOUFLAGE AND CONCEALMENT

Introduction
You must know how to camouflage and conceal yourself otherwise
you may be seen by the enemy.
Personal Camouflage
The tone and colour of the hands, neck and face and the shape,
shine and silhouette of equipment must blend in with your
surroundings.
Put camouflage cream, burnt cork or mud on your hands, neck
and face. Use more at night than at day.

Tie string across equipment (bergan or webbing) and use it to

hold foliage in place. This breaks up the outline of the equipment.
Wrap scrim or hessian around your weapon to hide shiny metal
surfaces and break up the outline. Do not obstruct the sights or
muzzle.
Concealment
Blend in with your surroundings by:
Looking around or through cover instead of over it.
Not skylining yourself.
Choosing a background to match your clothing. If the background
changes you must adjust your personal camouflage.
Using shadow if you can.
Avoiding isolated cover (eg. a lone tree in the middle of a field).
