NIGHT OPS

Working at night, adapt to the terrain, one must change the comon tactics. The use of NVG's gives us the ability to see at night, but with some limitations. Some limitations are still better than no sight at night. To make up for the limitations we should change our manuever and movement formations. Remembering NVG;s allow a limited field of vision. How much of an area must we cover to the front, flanks and rear ?. Augmenting the NVG's we may use Infrared lights and Thermal Imagers. Infrared lights can light up areas where low to no ambient light exsist. Thermal Sights can help detect most heat sources including the body heat of the enemy which greatly helps in finding the bad guys before he finds you. After that a good silent shot should clear your way to and from the objective. Remember, the enemy may have NVG's to use against you
