Vehicle identification is a useful skill for anyone on the battlefield, and a requirement for many of the more specialised roles. While some vehicles pose only a minimal threat, some can halt an entire platoon by themselves. As such accurate identification is crucial to good situational awareness, planning and tasking.
- Identifying a vehicle can be done at three levels of depth:
- Vehicle class
- Subclass within vehicle class
- Specific vehicle model
- Not all vehicles within a class fall under a subclass.
- Vehicle identification covers only military vehicles.
- Any other vehicle should be referred to by it's common name, e.g.
- pickup
- truck
- bicycle
- jetski
