This block is not in a published chapter and should not be relied upon.

Operating in stealth requires practice however there are some fundamentals can that be followed:

Movement Discipline

• Move slowly in hostile areas to reduce noise and visibility.
• Stay low in open terrain and use terrain features for concealment.
• Limit unnecessary movement near enemy positions.

Visual & Thermal Camouflage

• Wear appropriate camo based on the environment (woodland, urban, desert).
• Use natural shadows, foliage, and structures to remain hidden.
• Be aware that some enemies may have thermal optics or night sights.

Noise & Light Discipline

• Keep flashlights, lasers, and unnecessary lights off.
• If using voice chat, whisper mode can help to prevent noise detection.
• Avoid firing weapons unless absolutely necessary.
