Land navigation is one of the fun blocks of instruction at WLC because of all the good interaction that you get with the students. For the majority of the classes we teach in the classroom we simply hope that the information will be useful back in their home unit, but with map reading and land navigation they cannot graduate until they show proficiency in its use. To obtain a go, each student must negotiate the Grafenwohr terrain to find at least three out of four points which they plot on their map. With accurate plotting, a precise azimuth and a reliable pace count, the event can be quite simple. Students must also use their land navigation skills during the situational training exercise when they must negotiate their squad from the forward operating base to the site where their mission will be conducted.
