c. Personal camouflage application follows:

(1) Face. Use dark colors on high spots and light colors on
any remaining exposed areas. Use a hat, netting, or mask if
available.
(2) Ears. The insides and the backs should have 2 colors to
break up outlines.
(3) Head, neck, hands, and the under chin. Use scarf, collar,
vegetation, netting, or coloration methods.
(4) Light colored hair. Give special attention to conceal with
a scarf or mosquito head net.

d. Position and movement camouflage follows:

(1) Avoid unnecessary movement.
(2) Take advantage of natural concealment:

(a) Cut foliage fades and wilts, change regularly.
(b) Change camouflage depending on the surroundings.
(c) DO NOT select vegetation from same source.
(d) Use stains from grasses, berries, dirt, and charcoal.

(3) DO NOT over camouflage.
(4) Remember when using shadows, they shift with the sun.

(6) Employ noise discipline; check clothing and equipment
for items that could make noise during movement and secure them.

b. Break up the human shape or recognizable lines.
c. Route selection requires detailed planning and special
techniques (irregular route/zigzag) to camouflage evidence of travel.
d. Some techniques for concealing evidence of travel follows:

(1) Avoid disturbing the vegetation above knee level.
(2) DO NOT break branches, leaves, or grass.
(3) Use a walking stick to part vegetation and push it back to
its original position.

(4) DO NOT grab small trees or brush. (This may scuff the
bark or create movement that is easily spotted. In snow country, this
creates a path of snowless vegetation revealing your route.)
(5) Pick firm footing (carefully place the foot lightly but
squarely on the surface to avoid slipping). TRY NOT TO:

(a) Overturn ground cover, rocks, and sticks.
(b) Scuff bark on logs and sticks.
(c) Make noise by breaking sticks. (Cloth wrapped
around feet helps muffle this.)
(d) Mangle grass and bushes that normally spring back.

(6) Mask unavoidable tracks in soft footing by:

(a) Placing tracks in the shadows of vegetation, downed
logs, and snowdrifts.
(b) Moving before and during precipitation allows tracks
to fill in.
(c) Traveling during windy periods.
(d) Taking advantage of solid surfaces (logs, rocks, etc.)
leaving less evidence of travel.
(e) Patting out tracks lightly to speed their breakdown
or make them look old.

(7) Secure trash or loose equipment¾hide or bury discarded
items. (Trash or lost equipment identifies who lost it.)
(8) Concentrate on defeating the handler if pursued by dogs.

e. Penetrate obstacles as follows:

(1) Enter deep ditches feet first to avoid injury.
(2) Go around chain-link and wire fences. Go under fence if
unavoidable, crossing at damaged areas. DO NOT touch fence; look
for electrical insulators or security devices.
(3) Penetrate rail fences, passing under or between lower
rails. If impractical, go over the top, presenting as low a silhouette
as possible (Figure I-4).
(4) Cross roads after observation from concealment to
determine enemy activity. Cross at points offering concealment such
as bushes, shadows, bend in road, etc. Cross in a manner leaving
your footprints parallel (cross step sideways) to the road. (Figure
I-5)
(5) Use same method of observation for railroad tracks that
was used for roads. Next, align body parallel to tracks with face
down, cross tracks using a semi-pushup motion. Repeat for the
second track. (Figure I-6).
