1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,967
the recruits conducted land navigation 

2
00:00:02,967 --> 00:00:05,390
course at basic training . The land 

3
00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:07,612
navigation courses . Where the recruits 

4
00:00:07,612 --> 00:00:09,834
learn how to plot points on a map , how 

5
00:00:09,834 --> 00:00:12,001
to find the distances and directions . 

6
00:00:12,001 --> 00:00:14,223
They need to walk in using that map and 

7
00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:16,168
the compass . They go out into the 

8
00:00:16,168 --> 00:00:18,279
woods out here at Page Field and they 

9
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:20,334
practice doing these land navigation 

10
00:00:20,334 --> 00:00:22,223
techniques that they were talking 

11
00:00:22,223 --> 00:00:24,446
pressure . So as an instructor , my job 

12
00:00:24,446 --> 00:00:26,612
is to take them from knowing basically 

13
00:00:26,612 --> 00:00:28,668
nothing about how to use a map and a 

14
00:00:28,668 --> 00:00:30,890
compass and bring it to the point where 

15
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:30,050
they can go out in the woods here at 

16
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:32,420
Page Field and use that map and compass 

17
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:34,587
and be able to find four points out in 

18
00:00:34,587 --> 00:00:38,090
the tree line . So out in the Fleet 

19
00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:40,480
Marine Forces , it has a lot of impact 

20
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,591
on the things that we do . When we do 

21
00:00:42,591 --> 00:00:44,758
our patrolling operations . We have to 

22
00:00:44,758 --> 00:00:44,710
be able to get from the point that 

23
00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:46,654
we're at two going and finding the 

24
00:00:46,654 --> 00:00:48,766
enemy . And one of the big aspects of 

25
00:00:48,766 --> 00:00:50,821
that is being able to take a map and 

26
00:00:50,821 --> 00:00:52,932
compass and navigate their way to the 

27
00:00:52,932 --> 00:00:54,877
enemy . As well as getting back to 

28
00:00:54,877 --> 00:00:56,932
where they started from or to go set 

29
00:00:56,932 --> 00:00:56,350
into some sort of patrol base .
