    OBSERVATION, CAMOUFLAGE AND

    CONCEALMENT
    Why Things Are Seen

    • Shape
    • Shine
    • Shadow
    • Surface
    • Spacing
    • Smoke
    • Sound
    • Movement
    why things are visible at night
    • Sound
    • Light
    Personal Camouflage
    • Camouflage means to disguise an object in
    plain sight in order to conceal it from
    something or someone.
    • We will now see how personal camouflage is
    done which includes camouflage of
    equipment worn or carried by a soldier.
    – Use of Disruptive Pattern
    – Clothing and Local Vegetation
    – Camouflage of Face
    – Camouflage of Equipment
    Equipment is camouflage
    • Helmet
    – Use of Hessian Cloth
    – Use of Camouflage Net
    • Camouflage of Back Packs.
    Packs have square outline
    which is broken by tying
    thin ropes on the packs and
    branches of local vegetation
    are stuck in the ropes.
    • Camouflage of Rifle. Metal parts of rifles
    are phosphated and hence shine is
    reduced. Garnish of suitable colour
    should be wrapped over wooden parts/
    plastic parts to contrast with
    surroundings.
    • Camouflage of LMG. Wooden/plastic
    parts of the LMG should be covered by
    garnish. LMG trench is camouflaged by
    use of a net.
    • Camouflage of Equipment. Equipment
    like binocular, map case, Radio Set should
    also be camouflaged by breaking its
    outline and preventing shine.
    Concealment
    • If the enemy can see you, he can hit you with
    his fire. So you must be concealed from
    enemy observation and have cover from
    enemy fire. When the terrain does not provide
    natural cover and concealment, you must
    prepare your cover and use natural and man-
    made materials to camouflage/ conceal
    yourself, your equipment, and your position.
    Types Of Cover
    • There are two types of cover. They are:-
    – Cover from view.
    – Cover from fire.
    • Cover from View. A person is
    concealed only from view and
    not from fire.
    • Cover from Fire. This means
    that the concealed person is
    protected both from view and
    fire of weapon.
    • Look Through or Around
    Cover. Whenever possible
    look through or around the
    cover but not over it.
    • Avoid Breaking a Straight
    Line. Skyline/light
    coloured background is
    the worst background as
    the object against it will
    be found out because of
    contrasting background
    and shape.
    • Isolated Cover is
    Dangerous. Eye catches
    isolated cover easily
    especially if there is any
    movement near it.
    • In earlier days "If it can be seen, it can be hit, if it can
    be hit it can be killed”.
    • modern warfare "If it can be seen it will be killed".
    • Therefore, camouflage needs greater emphasis and
    the art of camouflage and concealment reduces the
    different varieties of soldiers into two main categories
    viz,
    • "The good and the dead."
    • Concealment is an aid to tactical deception and
    misinforms the enemy as to our intentions and
    strengths
