Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to

subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER

OBJECTIVES OF A LEADER
1 MORALE - the mental and emotional state of an individual 2 DISCIPLINE - the prompt and willing obedience to orders Complying to regulations and initiating appropriate action even in theabsence of orders 3 PROFICIENCY - the technical tactical and physical ability of an individual to perform their mission 4 ESPRIT DE CORPS - More than the aggregate personality it is how the individuals feel about their unit Jealous of enthusiasticfor pride in and devotion for
MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

MILITARY DRILLS AND CEREMONIES
MILITARY CEREMONIES - The movement of the larger unit or troops in a prescribed manner from one place to another
1 REVIEW - A military ceremony held in honor of a visiting commander official or dignitary It is also a fittingaffair to present decorations and awards to deserving members or units of the command
A REVIEW IS NORMALLY CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTSa Formation of troopsb Presentation of troopsc Inspection of troopsd Presentation of awards and decorations
2 PARADE - A more formal ceremony than a review In this ceremony the appearance and movement of thetroops in the formation are the primary consideration The preparation and organization of troops forparades are similar to those of a review The line on which the troops are to be formed and the route ofmarch of the participating units are marked or designated The distance between the troops and thecommander for the parade formation is greater than that of a reviewTWO DISTINCT TYPES OF PARADES1 Evening Parade2 Moonlight Parade
DRILL COMMANDS - An oral of a commander
TWO PARTS 1 PREPARATORY COMMAND - States the movement or formation to be carried out and mentally prepares theindividual for its execution It is a command which indicates the movement
2 COMMAND OF EXECUTION - Tells when the movement is to be carried out It is a command which indicates when amovement is to be executed
EXAMPLE FORWARD MARCHForwardPreparatory Command MarchCommand of Execution
PREPARATORY COMMAND AND COMMAND OF EXECUTION
1 Fall in Fall out - Humanay Tumiwalag
2 Rest - Pahinga3 As you were - Manumbalik4 At ease - TindigPaluwag5 Change step - PalikHakbang
SUPPLEMENTARY COMMAND - The subordinate commander gives a supplementary command He turns his head towards themajority of his elements and gives command over his shoulder He does not face about
MASS COMMAND - May be used to develop confidence and enthusiasm All of the members of the unit being trained speak in unison and execute them
THINGS TO OBSERVE IN GIVING COMMANDS
Inflection - The rise and fall of pitch and the tone changes of the voice
Cadence In Command - The uniform and rhythmic flow of words
Snap - The extra quality in command that demands immediate responseREMEMBER
1 Correct commands have a tone cadence and snap that demands willingness correct and immediateresponse 2 The loudness of the command is adjusted to the number of men in the unit 3 The best posture for giving command is at the position of attention 4 The most desirable pitch when beginning a preparatory command is near the level of your natural speaking voice
MILITARY COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
MILITARY COURTESY - Is the expression or manifestation of consideration for others It is a virtue that is expected of all individuals from all walks of life In the Armed Forces courtesy is a great requirement because it is thebasic upon which military discipline stands With courtesy and respect among members of the organizationwould lose its orderliness and later disintegrate Furthermore courtesy promotes good relationship closer coordination and teamwork among members of the organization It makes theorganization dignified and insures good relations with the public

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it

In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective

sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically
9 Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates - the leader should train his
subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER
1 The leader is a model soldier2 The leader is a commander3 The leader is an instructor4 The leader is a personal manager5 The leader is a councilor6 The leader is a custodian of his mens welfare
OBJECTIVES OF A LEADER
1 MORALE - the mental and emotional state of an individual 2 DISCIPLINE - the prompt and willing obedience to orders Complying to regulations and initiating appropriate action even in theabsence of orders 3 PROFICIENCY - the technical tactical and physical ability of an individual to perform their mission 4 ESPRIT DE CORPS - More than the aggregate personality it is how the individuals feel about their unit Jealous of enthusiasticfor pride in and devotion for
MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM
MILITARY SYMBOLS ndash a symbol used by the map user when he wants to show the disposition of the troops and overlaying of military installations

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

SUPPLEMENTARY COMMAND - The subordinate commander gives a supplementary command He turns his head towards themajority of his elements and gives command over his shoulder He does not face about
MASS COMMAND - May be used to develop confidence and enthusiasm All of the members of the unit being trained speak in unison and execute them
THINGS TO OBSERVE IN GIVING COMMANDS
Inflection - The rise and fall of pitch and the tone changes of the voice
Cadence In Command - The uniform and rhythmic flow of words
Snap - The extra quality in command that demands immediate responseREMEMBER
1 Correct commands have a tone cadence and snap that demands willingness correct and immediateresponse 2 The loudness of the command is adjusted to the number of men in the unit 3 The best posture for giving command is at the position of attention 4 The most desirable pitch when beginning a preparatory command is near the level of your natural speaking voice
MILITARY COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
MILITARY COURTESY - Is the expression or manifestation of consideration for others It is a virtue that is expected of all individuals from all walks of life In the Armed Forces courtesy is a great requirement because it is thebasic upon which military discipline stands With courtesy and respect among members of the organizationwould lose its orderliness and later disintegrate Furthermore courtesy promotes good relationship closer coordination and teamwork among members of the organization It makes theorganization dignified and insures good relations with the public
SALUTES- Is the most important form of military courtesy It is executed by raising the right man smartlyUntil the tip of the forefinger touches the eyebrow or the front brim of the head gear when coveredForefingers are extended and joined palm facing the left forearm inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees
and the right upper arm horizontal to the ground A person saluting looks at the person beingsaluted When the salute is returned he drops the right hand smartly to the side
RULES IN RENDERING HAND SALUTEa The salute is required on and off military installations during outside office hoursb Persons entitled to the saluted 1 All commissioned officers of the AFP both male and female 2 Commissioned officers of friendly nations when they are recognized as such 3 Officers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Public Health Service when they are serving with the AFP 4 All civilian who are entitled by custom to salutec The salute is rendered at a distance of about 6 paces from the person saluted of at the recognizable distances about 30 pacesd The salute must be rendered to those entitled to it It is not rendered when running but at halt or walk Never salute with a cigarette cigar or pipe in the mouth The salute should not be executed in a haphazardway or perfunctory manner Salutes are exchange whether individuals are cover or uncoverede The salute is rendered at once if the senior remains in the immediate vicinity and no conversation takesplace the junior again salutes the senior when they are path from each otherf In making reports the person reporting salutes first regardless of rank An example of this case is whenthe unit commander is reporting to the adjutant during ceremoniesg) Whom not to salute
1 Standing to a horse or leading a horse2 While at work In case the officer calls the soldier stops working approaches and salutes him
and again when they are part to each other3 Indoors except when reporting to an officer or when the soldier is on duty sentry or guard4 When carrying articles with both hands or being so occupied as to make saluting practical5 When riding in a fast moving vehicle and the other is dismounted the salute is not rendered
Exception are when the vehicle is clearly marked to indicate a General Officer and when saluting is a part of the ceremony
6 When meeting a prisoner of war Soldier serving as military prisoner are not entitled to salute7 In case of doubt due to absence of specific instruction the salute is rendered
The term ldquooutdoorrdquo is constructed to include such buildings as drill halls gymnasiums and other roofed enclosures used for drill or exercise of troops Theaters covered walks and other shelters open on the side are also considered as outdoor
ldquoIndoorsrdquo include offices hallways kitchen orderly rooms recreation halls washroom and quarters
ldquoUnder armsrdquo means carrying arms having them attached to the person by sling holster or other means In the absence of arms the wearing of cartridge bells pistol holsters and automatic rifle belts also mean ldquounder armsrdquo
TYPES OF SALUTES
a Hand saluteb The Rifle Salute at Order Armsc The Rifle Salute at Trail Armsd The Rifle Salute at Present Armse The Rifle Salute at Shoulder Arms (Right Shoulder)f The Rifle Salute at Left Shoulder Armsg The Gun Saluteh Eyes Right by men in ranks when Pass in Review
REPORTING TO AN OFFICER
The salute is rendered by a junior when reporting to a senior He also salutes before leaving
a REPORTING INDOORS WITHOUT ARMS
A soldier removes his headgear knocks at the door of the office of the officer and enters when told to do so Upon entering he halts at about two paces from the officer and salutes and says Sir Cadet Airman Dela Cruz reporting to the squadron commander Sir The salute will be retained until he completes his report and the officer had returned his salute execute about face and leaves the office

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically
9 Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates - the leader should train his
subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER
1 The leader is a model soldier2 The leader is a commander3 The leader is an instructor4 The leader is a personal manager5 The leader is a councilor6 The leader is a custodian of his mens welfare
OBJECTIVES OF A LEADER
1 MORALE - the mental and emotional state of an individual 2 DISCIPLINE - the prompt and willing obedience to orders Complying to regulations and initiating appropriate action even in theabsence of orders 3 PROFICIENCY - the technical tactical and physical ability of an individual to perform their mission 4 ESPRIT DE CORPS - More than the aggregate personality it is how the individuals feel about their unit Jealous of enthusiasticfor pride in and devotion for
MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others

12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

a) Seated as a member of or in attendance at a court or board Sentinels guarding prisoners do not uncover
b) Entering places of divine worship
c) Indoors when not in duty
d) In attendance at an official reception
DISPLAY AND SALUTE TO THE FLAG
a The Philippine flag represents our nation and should always be given a place of runner
b The National Flag is never dipped for salute nor is it permitted to touch the ground It is not used as a costume dress or a drapery No lettering or object should be placed on it
c The flag is played in the following manners1 When hoisted at a flag pole it should be hoisted fully at the top of the pole blue part
up or above During mornings the flag is hoisted to the top of the pole first then hauled down until the flag is about midway of the length of the pole
2 When the national flag is displayed with another flag whether they are standing sideby side or with their staff crossed the National Flag is at the right side blue part up
3 When placed in the vertical manner the triangle is up the blue color at the right4 When displayed in the horizontal position the triangle is at the right side with the blue
part up5 When displayed over the casket the triangle is in the direction of the head of the cadaver with
the blue part on the right side
During the ceremonies wherein the holstering or lowering of the flag is done or when it passes by during parades or reviews all persons present except those detailed in holstering lowering and carrying the flag should face it at attention and salute while those in uniform remove their headdress with their right hand and place them over their left breast Women should salute by placing their right hand on their left breastMILITARY DISCIPLINE
Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

Military discipline is the mental attitude and state of training which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctive under all conditions It is founded upon respect for loyalty to properly constituted authority While it is primarily developed by military drills every feature in military life has its effect upon military discipline It is generally indicated in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action cleanliness of dress equipment or quarters respect for senior and by the prompt and cheerful obedience by the subordinates of both the latter and spirit of the legal orders
RELATION OF COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE
The relation of military discipline to courtesy is clearly explained by the fact that discipline is founded upon by respect and loyalty to superiors and lawfully constituted authorities In other words discipline originates and develops mutual respect and goodwill among members of an organization Without courtesy and respect among members of an organization discipline disappears there will be no peace and order in the organization hence it will disintegrate
IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Mass discipline and morale are essential factors for securing cohesive action and for ensuring that singleness or purpose which alone can triumph over the most difficult conditions of war The successful leader will teach his men to recognize and face fear because fear is the enemy of discipline and morale Fear unchecked will lead to panic and a unit that is panicky is no longer a disciplined one but a mob There is no same person who is without fear but with good discipline and morale all will face danger if not willingly at least resignedly because of their inborn sentiment of duty or courage of loyalty and because of their sense of pride in their country in their unit and in themselves in other words because of their esprit de corps
The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place

1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

The need for discipline is recognized in many places outside the Armed Forces It reaches at highest form in teams wherein individual desires are subordinated to the interests of the entire team The Armed Forces are more in need of discipline for several reasons First the task of making war is not doing it because we as individuals have to do it in the interest of our country Because of that we cannot be allowed as individual to decide which part of the job each of us will do or how each part to be done Second the organization must be prepared for situations wherein leaders may be lost Personal loyalty for the commandment is not enough If a leader is killed his men must accept orders from his successor immediately and without question to carry on the battle Finally the tremendous size of all Armed Forces demands that there be uniform ways of doing things Discipline subordinates personal and self considerations to the interest of the group
MAINTENANCE OF DISCIPLINE
Discipline is installed in men through instructions pride and traditions and regulations You will develop appreciation of the other factors which build discipline as time passes One must know and understand the different laws and regulations immediately
Discipline is maintained in much the same manner as it is attained The article of war punishes military individualsrsquo fairness and justice high moral pride and responsibility contribute to maintain discipline as to developing it
CHAPTER IVARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINESrsquo HISTORY
Brief History of the AFPCommonwealth Act no 1 otherwise known as the National Defense Act was approved on 21
December 1935 which gave the basic organization of the AFP General Douglas McArthur served as the Military Adviser to President Manuel L Quezon Major General Dwight D Eisenhower and Major General James Ord members of the McArthurrsquos Staff helped in the planting of the Philippine Military Establishment as well as organizing it
As President Quezon issued Executive Order no 11 on January 1936 which formally established the Army of the Philippines he recalled Colonel Jose Delos Reyes of the Philippine Constabulary to active duty and later promoted him to Brigadier General and designated him as Acting Chief of Staff of the Army Brigadier General Basilio J Valdez and Colonel Guillermo B Francisco were named 1 st and 2nd Asst Chief of Staff respectively
In the same order the Philippine Constabulary became the nucleus of the regular forces of the Philippine Army Filipino citizens were required to go training under the National Defense Act since 1936 that would compose reserve force By the end of the ten year Commonwealth period in 1946 there would have been a trained Philippine Army Reserve pool of 400000 officers and men including the graduates of the ROTC Basic and Advance Course in accredited colleges and universities
When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively

bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM
MILITARY SYMBOLS ndash a symbol used by the map user when he wants to show the disposition of the troops and overlaying of military installations

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

When the Philippine Constabulary became part of the Philippine Army the PC Air Corps which was activated on 2 January 1955 was re designated Philippine Air Force on 3 July 1947
On February 1939 an Off-Shore Patrol (OSP) was organized as a unit of the Philippine Army Initially equipped with three Q-boats (torpedo boats) and a handful of officers and men hurriedly trained in the rudiments of Sea-Warfare the OSP squadron provided coastal support to the beleaguered Filipino-American forces in the battles of Bataan and Corregidor In October 1947 the OSP was renamed Philippine Naval Patrol and on 5 January 1951 it became the Philippine Navy The OSP was often referred to as Mosquito Fleet
When President Franklin D Roosevelt of the USA declared the state of National Emergency on 26 July 1941 and ordered the induction of the Philippine Army units into the US Armed Forces in the Far East under the command of General Douglas Mc Arthur the Philippine Army had a reserve force of about 100000 officers and men at the time of the Japanese Imperial Forces attacked the Pearl Harbor Clark Field and other targets on 8 December 1941 The Philippine Army Reserve Force totaled around 200000 officers and men
The Philippine Army retained its own organization while serving with the USAFFE After the fall of Bataan on 9 April 1942 many officers and men of the Philippine Army continued resistance against the Japanese by forming guerilla forces all over the country These USAFFE guerilla forces along with other units organized by civilians in various parts of the country fought the Japanese Forces from 1942 to 1945 When the US Liberation Forces landed in Leyte on 20 October 1944 all the guerilla forces participated actively on the liberation on their respective sectors of operations
On October 1947 President Manual A Roxas issued Executive Order No 94 which organized all government agencies The Military establishment was not spared from its official designation as Army of the Philippines and it became the Armed Forces of the Philippines The ten pre-war military districts were deactivated but 4 Military Areas were also activated to enhance the efficiency of the Constabulary personnel all over the country
The post-war Philippine Army eventually got its forces fighting another battle ndash the battle against the armed elements of the Communist Party of the Philippines the HUKBALAHAP later renamed HMB For the anti0dissident campaign Army Sector Command and Battalion Combat Teams were formed During the Korean war the 10th 20th 11th 19th and 2nd BCTrsquos were sent as Philippine Expeditionary Force as the member of the United Nations PEFTOK served in Korea from 1950-1955 On 25 December 1950 President Quirino issued Executive Order No 389 renaming headquarters AFP to General Headquarters AFP and activating the 4 major services The Philippine Army Philippine Constabulary Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy
From the time the Philippines joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in September 1954 the AFP cooperated actively with the other member nations in the enhancing of military preparedness in the area
As a member of the UN the Philippines also sent a Philippine Air Force Contingent of 77 officers and men on a pacification campaign to the Congo Republic on 11 February 1963
In 1966 the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHICAG) was activated to implement the provisions of RA 4644 Composed of engineers medical and rural community development teams and security personnel the PHILCAG was sent to the Republic of South Vietnam and engaged in socio-economic projects mutually agreed upon by the governments of the Republic of the Philippines and Republic of South Vietnam
The AFP has shown an increasing awareness of its arrival in the country and its vital role in the political and economic development of the country by engaging are actively in civic action programs
Pursuant to the Socio-economic Military Program under RA 2056 the Chief of Staff AFP ordered the assignment of military personnel for public works construction food production land settlement and rural development Several civic centers of the AFP
To give greater impetus on the civic action the 51st Engineer Brigade consisting of 10 Engineer Construction Battalion was activated on 10 March 1962 This unit had constructed several much needed highways roads and bridges in various parts of the country The 52nd Engineer Brigade which was organized on 1 July 1969 also performed similar functions to holster the national program for social and economical developments
Today the AFP is employing all its resources in assisting the socio-economic development programs of the government without prejudice to its primary missions of improving and maintaining the effectiveness of the countryrsquos defense posture

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically
9 Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates - the leader should train his
subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER
1 The leader is a model soldier2 The leader is a commander3 The leader is an instructor4 The leader is a personal manager5 The leader is a councilor6 The leader is a custodian of his mens welfare
OBJECTIVES OF A LEADER
1 MORALE - the mental and emotional state of an individual 2 DISCIPLINE - the prompt and willing obedience to orders Complying to regulations and initiating appropriate action even in theabsence of orders 3 PROFICIENCY - the technical tactical and physical ability of an individual to perform their mission 4 ESPRIT DE CORPS - More than the aggregate personality it is how the individuals feel about their unit Jealous of enthusiasticfor pride in and devotion for
MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically
9 Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates - the leader should train his
subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically
9 Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates - the leader should train his
subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

F PRINCIPLES IN LEADERSHIP
1 Know your job - must have thorough professional knowledge of his duties and responsibilities to
command and gain respect from his men
2Know yourself and seek self-improvement - a leader should analyze himself to determine his
good qualities and learn to recognize and correct his weakness
3 Know your men and look after their welfare - understand each of your men personally
psychologically in order to effectively lead them
4 Keep your men informed - keep your men knowledgeable background in all aspects its
organization and mission in order to function effectively
5 Set an example -set a good example as a model in loyalty in superiors and subordinates good
bearing and attitudes pride and faithfulness to the organization
6 Insure the task is understood supervised and accomplished - a leader should give a clear and
concise order that can be understood He supervises his men to accomplish the
assigned mission
7 Train your men as a team - teamwork is a must within and among units from the
smallest to the largest Each men should understand that he has a job to perform
and must cooperate with others in achieving the common objective
8 Make sound and timely decisions - the ability to make raid estimate of the situation Arrive at the
sound decision and announce his decision in the correct form of the proper is
essential to a leader For any situation that may arise the leader should be able to
act logically

subordinates to act in the absence of orders when the situation so demands He
develops responsibility among his subordinates byproper delegation of his
authority and holding them responsible for theaccomplishment of their mission
10 Employ your commands in accordance with its capability - the leader must have thorough knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of his command He must assign objectives that is responsible to be attained However when the situation so demands then men must be forced to action beyond their normal endurance so as to avoid a harder or more costly consequence on their part
11 See responsibility and take responsibility for your action - learn the seniors job for youmay assume his position later on Take advantage of the responsibility delegated toyou and do not back out in case of failure
ROLES OF A LEADER

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

MAP READING
MAP - is a graphical representation of the earths surface drawn to a scale on aplane When you look at the map you are actually looking at a picture ofthe ground from a high spot in the air MAP COLOR - different colors are used on the printing of the maps to assist the use understanding it A GREEN - represents all types of vegetables B BLUE - signifies bodies of water such as rivers lakes swamps and streams C RED - indicates first class roads and prominent locations such as theProvincial or Municipal Capitals May be used to stress the significance ofimportant map locations
D BROWN - depicts contour lines which are representation of the relatives elevation and relief of the terrain
A MILITARY MAP HAS TWO MAIN PARTS The MAP ITSELF and the MARGINAL INFORMATION Printed in the margin around it
MARGINAL INFORMATION - in order to use your map intelligently you must read and be able to understand the information printed in the margin This information is like a book of instructions telling what is printed on the face of the map and how to use it The marginal information is divided into three parts such as TOP MARGIN RIGHT MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN
TOP MARGIN
1 SERIES NAME AND SCALE ndash indicates the name of the map series of which particular map is apart The series name is followed by the numerical scale of the map
2 MAP TITLE ndash it is the title by which the map is referred to It is usually the name of the most prominent geographical place found in the map
3 SHEET NUMBER ndash represents the specific sheet number of the map in relation with the other sheets of the same map series of which it is a part of
RIGHT MARGIN
1 INDEX TO BOUNDARIES ndash indicates the relative location of boundaries of provinces and Municipalities included in the place
2 COVERAGE DIAGRAM ndash represents the manner by which the information included in the map on every particular area were compiled It signifies the degree of reliability of information of a part of the map compared with others
3 INDEX TO ADJOINING SHEETS ndash shows the location of different adjoining map sheets in relation with this particular map This information is important when requesting for sheets of adjoining areas
BOTTOM MARGIN
1 LEGEND ndash list of all symbols used in the map and their respective meanings2 GRAPHIC SCALE ndash it is the graphic representation of the map scales It is used in
converting map distance without going through mathematical computations3 CONTOUR INTERVALS ndash indicates intervals in meters of contour lines used in the map as
reckoned from the mean sea level4 DECLINATION DIAGRAM ndash shows relative location of the grid and magnetic north in
relation with the true north Tis information is particularly important when you are orienting your map
TYPES OF MAP
1 PLANIMETRIC MAP ndash A map which represents only the horizontal position for features presented It is distinguished from Topographic map
2 TOPOGRAPHIC ndash A map which portrays terrain and landforms in a measurable form as well as the horizontal position of the features presented
3 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A topographic map reprinted on plastic material and formed by heat and vacuum over a reproductive positive mold thus giving the same information as contained on topographic map
4 PHOTO MAP ndash A reproduction of an oralaerial photograph or photomosaic made from a series of photographs upon grid lines marginal data places name route members important elevations boundaries approximate scale and approximate direction have been needed
5 JOINT OPERATIONS GRAPHIC MAP ndash Use for ground and air operations The maps are published in ground and air direction
6 PICTO MAP ndash It is a map on which the photographic imagery of standard photomap has been converted into interpretable colors and symbols
7 PLASTIC RELIEF MAP ndash A photomap made on plastic in the same manner as a topographic map
8 PHOTOMOSAIC MAP ndash An assembly of aerial photograph to form a composite picture9 HYDROGRAPHIC MAP ndash A nautical map used as a navigational aid either below or above
surface10 MILITARY CITY MAP ndash A topographic map usually 112500 scale of a city delineating
streets and showing street names and showing important buildings and other urban elements of military importance which are compatible with the scale of the map
11 SPECIAL MAP ndash Maps for special purposes such as traffic ability transportation boundaries population etc
12 TERRAIN MODEL ndash It is designed to provide means for visualizing the terrain for planning or indoctrination purpose and briefing assault landings
USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

USES AND CATEGORIES OF MILITARY MAPS
SCALE ndash Is expressed as a fraction and gives the ration of map distance to ground distance
TYPES OF SCALE
1 SMALL SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 and smaller are used for general planning and strategical studies at high echelons The standard small scale is 11000000
2 MEDIUM SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 1600000 but smaller than 175000 are used for planning operations including the movement and concentration of troop supplies The standard medium scale is 1250000
3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward

3 LARGE SCALE ndash Maps at scale of 175000 and larger are used to meet the tactical technical and administrative needs of field units The standard large scale is 150000
THREE TYPES OF NORTH
1 GRID NORTH ndash Always vertical It is established by the vertical gridlines on the map Grid north may be symbolized by the letters Gn or the letter Y
2 TRUE NORTH ndash A line from any position of the earthrsquos surface to the north pole All lines of longitude are true north lines True north is usually symbolized as a star
3 MAGNETIC NORTH ndash The direction to the north magnetic pole as indicated by the north seeking needle of the magnetic instrument Magnetic north is usually represented by a half arrowhead
MEASURING DISTANCE ndash Since the maps are drawn to scale it is possible to determine the actual ground distance between two points depicted in the map We have ways or methods in getting the distance of two points To convert map distance to actual ground distance
a USE OF NUMERICAL SCALE ndash Represents the equivalent in the ground distance of every unit of measurement use in the map Hence the scale is 150000 Meaning if the distance of two objects on the map is measured to be 1 cm the actual ground distance between them on the ground is 50000 cm or 500 m (100 cm = 1m) therefore when converting map distance to ground distance it is simply multiplying the map distance to the right figure of the ratio
MAP DISTANCE ndash the measurement of two points depicted on the map
EXAMPLE
Scale is 125000 Question What is the actual ground distanceMap distance 3cm
3cm x 25000 = 75000 cm 75000 divide 100 = 750 meters
b USE OF THE GRAPHIC SCALE ndash This is a faster way of converting map distance to actual ground distance You may use a strip of paper or piece of paper on relatively straight For example you are using a piece of paper transfer the map distance on a paper strip and lay them or put them over the graphic scale see to it that one end of the distance is on the zero mark Read the whole unit of measurement on the scale right of the zero mark (primary scale) If there is a fraction of a unit lay the right end of the paper on the mark of the nearest graduation of the primary scale and read the fraction of the unit that extends beyond the zero mark into the secondary scale That is your actual ground distance
LOCATION IDENTIFYING ndash Procedure on how to locate grid square (GS) and grid coordinates (GC)
GD = 216 km (21600) I km = 100000 cm
RF = 1X= 432216000 cm OR 432 X = 216000
X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines

Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

X = 216000432 X = 50000 therefore
RF = 150000 OR 1 50000
The amount of time required to travel a certain distance on the ground is an important factor in most military operations This can be determined if the map of the area is available and graphic time distances scale is consideredconstructed for used with the map as follows
R = Rate of travel FORMULA D = Distance (ground distance) T = DB T = Time
FOR EXAMPLE
If an infantry unit is marching at an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour (R) it will take approximately 3 hours (T) to travel 12 kilometers (D)
12(D) divide 4 (R) = 3(T)
PROBLEM You are a flight leader of the 1st flight of Alpha sqdn Your flt CP (command post) is located at the school at GS 0736 You just received a radio message directing you to report at the sqdn CP and the sqdn CP is 165 km
QUESTION
1 If your service jeep will be traveling at an average speed of 30 kmhra What will be your travel time in minutesb What time will you arrive at the company CP If you will at 0830 H
GIVEN
D = 165 km
A T = 165 km divide 30 kmhr = 55 hrs = 160 minutesT = 60 x 55 = 33 minutes
B 0830H + 0033H = 0903 H
GENERAL RULE IN MAP READING ndash READ RIGHT UP
You must read the vertical grid lines from left side going to the right and read the horizontal grid lines from the bottom going up
EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

EXAMPLE OF GRID SQUAREThe grid square id in four (4) digits meaning the first two digits represents the vertical grid lines then the second two digits represents the horizontal grid lines
GS ndash 1701 GS ndash 1824
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 100 meters (6 digits)
GC ndash 173017 GC ndash 18422467
Before reading of locating the grid coordinates you must get first the grid square then after getting the grid square divide it into ten (10) equal parts vertical and horizontal then apply the basic rule
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 10 meters (8 digits)
GC ndash 17320174 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 100 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in 100 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
GRID COORDINATES (GC) Nearest to 1 meter (10 digits)
GC ndash 1732101743 GC ndash 1842124671
The same sequence in nearest to 10 meters but after getting the grid coordinates in nearest to 10 meters divide it again into 10 equal parts vertical and horizontal
The situation may arise where a map or sketch map has no RF (represented fraction or scale) The RF must be determined so that you can determine the actual ground distance by using numerical scale
a Measure the distance between two points on the map (MD)b Determine the actual ground distance of two points by using the graphic scalec Utilizing the RF formula and remembering that RF must be in general form
1X x RF = MDGD
d Both the MD and GD must be in the same order of unit of measurement and the MD must be reduced to one (1)
MD = 432 CM

M16 RIFLE ( 556 mm ARMALITE)CHARACTERISTICSASHOULDER WEAPON ndash It is an individual weapon fired from the shoulder B GAS OPERATED ndash The rifle goes through the entire sequence of firing by the action of the expanding gas on its machine CMAGAZINE FED ndash The ammunition is fed into the rifle through either a short magazine ( 20 rounds) or a long magazine ( 30 rounds )
D BOTH AUTOMATIC AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODE ndash The weapon by changing the setting of the selector lever can be made to fire either automatic or semi-automatic E OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ndash The rifle is equipped with a flash suppressor mounted on the muzzle The barrel is surrounded by a heat resistant material made of fiberglass which is shaped into a handguard A rubber pad is mounted on the butt of the stock to help absorb the recoil of the rifle when firing The weapon has a forward assist assembly which is located on the rear of the upper rear receiver Pressure on the assembly will assist the action spring in driving the bolt fully home should it fail to do so
2 FUNCTIONINGA FEEDING ndash This action occurs when a round of ammunition is placed in the receiver ready for chambering This is accomplished by the pressure of the magazine spring when you pull the charging handle to the rearB CHAMBERING ndash In this action the first or new round is securely placed inside the chamber This action takes place almost simultaneously with feedingC LOCKING ndash In this action the bolt rotates in a counterclockwise position Locking is complete when the slugs on the bolt and barrel extension are aligned This is necessary to prevent the loss of gas pressure until after the projectile has left the muzzleD FIRING ndash In this action the explosive composition of the primer after it has been struck by the firing pin ignites and explodes the propellant powder inside the cartridge shell The explosion forces the bullet out of the barrelE UNLOCKING ndash After the firing the bolt as it move to the rear rotates clockwise until the locking slugs of the bolt are no longer aligned with the slugs in the barrel extensionF EXTRACTING ndash In this action the bolt carrier continues to move rearward and withdraws the extended cartridge shell from the chamber by the extraction clawG EJECTING ndash Here the ejector is compressed into the face of the bolt As the bolt carrier clears the ejector port the empty cartridge is thrown out by the ejector and springH COCKING ndash In this action all the operating parts of the rifle are again position in readiness to fire another round Here the lower hook of the hammer is engaged by the disconnector and is caught by the nose of the trigger preventing the hammer from going forward
