3-2 Choose a Position

Choose a position that takes
advantage of available cover and
concealment.

Cover gives protection from
bullets, fragments and exploding
rounds, flame, nuclear effects,
and biological and chemical
agents. Cover can also conceal
from enemy observatin. Cover
can be natural or man-made.

Concealment is anything that
hides your from enemy
observation. Concealment does
not protect you from enemy fire.
Do not think that you are
protected from the enemy's fire
just because you are concealed.
Concealment, like cover, can
also be natural or man-made.
