Operating in stealth

Most reconnaissance patrols depend on avoiding detection while still gathering valuable intel. 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 weapon handling, reloading, or sprinting 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
