Exercise : Concealing Troop Movements - Methods
Situation
Concealing troop movements relies on managing the fundamental
elements of visual, audible, and electronic detection

1. Route selection:
Travel through :
- low-visibility terrain
- severe weather windows
- under heavy canopy
to block aerial and drone observation.
...do...!...
...uhhh…
...what now...
...you know...!...
...hahh…!...
2. Deceptive timing:
Conduct major relocations during
- low-light hours
- night
- civil twilight
though movement must be slower and more disciplined due to reduced
visibility.
...it can be dust...!...
...in low light...
...yeah...
...ahhh…!...
3. Sigint/Sigruch management:
To mask the actual vector of a battalion or squad:
- disperse electronic signatures
- use decoy transmissions
4. Noise and Light Discipline
i. Silence gear:
Secure loose straps, tape metal-on-metal contact points like buckles
or sling swivels, and fill canteens completely to prevent sloshing.
ii. Quiet movement:
Step toe-first to feel for twigs or dry leaves before shifting full
body weight down.
iii. Strict comms:
Rely entirely on silent hand and arm signals instead of speaking;
whisper directly into an ear only when mandatory.
iv. Blackout tech:
Power down or completely silence all electronic devices, radios, and
mobile phones.
5. Visual Disruption and Camouflage
i. Break outlines:
Use local foliage, burlap, or Ghillie Suits to disrupt the familiar
human shape and hard edges of equipment.
ii. Eliminate shine:
Apply camouflage cream to exposed skin in contrasting tones (dark
brown or green) to remove natural oils and skin glare, and cover
weapon optics.
iii. Avoid skylines:
Never silhouette units against high points or horizons; align movement
with cluttered, complex backgrounds.
iv. Use shadows and cover:
Move slowly from one concealed position to another, looking through
cover rather than around it.
