FM/BG-1506.V1.01 - Stealth in different environments

Different environments can introduce unique challenges to reconnaissance and stealth. Understanding how to adapt ensures better survival and intelligence gathering:

Dense Forest & Jungle Environments

  • Use slow, deliberate movement to avoid detection and minimize noise. The enemy may be close before either side notices.
  • Stick to natural cover like bushes and trees instead of roads or paths.
  • Engage only when necessary. visibility is low, and firefights can quickly become chaotic.

Arctic Conditions

  • Visibility is often high, so use terrain dips, tree lines, and elevation changes for cover.
  • Be aware of long-range optics and thermal imaging, which are more effective in open snow environments.

Desert & Sparse Terrain

  • Stay low and avoid silhouetting against ridgelines.
  • Movement is often visible from long distances, move during low light hours if possible.

Urban

  • Use building interiors, rooftops, and alleyways for movement and observation.
  • Avoid crossing large open spaces unless necessary, stick to walls and cover.
  • Be mindful of elevated enemy positions and sniper threats.
