mark them on the map.• Take a magnetic azimuth to these locations.• Convert them to grid azimuths.• Change to a back azimuth.• Using the protractor, measure from the known
position back to your location.

ELEVATION
• To measure elevation and relief, you need a reference point or start point.
• The start point is referred to as the datum plane or mean sea level.
• Mean sea level is the point halfway between high and low tide.
• Elevation is a point on the earth’s surface which is a vertical distance above or below mean sea level.

RELIEF SHADING AND HACHURES
Relief Shading• Uses a shadow effect, a result of darkening one side
of a terrain feature.• The darker the shading the steeper the slope.• May be used with contour lines.
Hachures• Short, broken lines used to show relief.• May be used with contour lines.• Don’t represent exact elevations.• Primarily used on small scale maps.

PACE
• The pace course is broken down by 200, 100, and 50 meters.
• The course is over wooded terrain.• Will be conducted during daylight and evening
hours.
![Page 208: WHAT IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062610/5681433c550346895dafb16b/html5/thumbnails/208.jpg)
PACE COURSE EXPLAINED
• A pace is considered two steps, usually starting with the left foot.
• If you start with the left foot (and you will), the pace is counted each time the right foot hits the ground.
• Starting at Point # 1, you will go out to the 200 meter mark (striped stake with 200 meters marked on it), turn and go back to the start point, keeping the TOTAL number of paces.
• The total number will then be divided by four to give you your pace count for 100 meters.
• The 100 and 50 meter markers are only there as reference points. (they are marked in the same manner as the 200 meter stake)

DRIFT
• Every soldier drifts left or right moving through the woods.
• It is important to know if you drift left or right.• By knowing which way you drift you know that you
will almost always be to the left or to the right of your point.

PACE AND DRIFT COURSE EXPLAINED
1. When you get to your assigned start point, read the plaque.
2. The plaque will give you a distance in meters, and an azimuth which is a GRID azimuth (convert it).
3. Follow the azimuth using your pace count to go the correct distance.
4. When moving on azimuth, make sure you alternate right and left when going around obstacles.

PACE AND DRIFT COURSE EXPLAINED
cont.
5. Continue on azimuth until you get to the end of your pace count and stop.
6. If you have not reached a stake, continue ON AZIMUTH until you get to a stake.
7. If you have passed a row of stakes, take a back azimuth, back to the passed row and stop when you get to a stake.
8. Write down the color and number of the stake, and again, read the plaque and follow the direction.
