online Land Navigation classes
These classes are conducted on Zoom. This allows students to receive training without added expenses like lodging, food, gas, and most importantly, sacrificing time off for work. Classes range from 2-4 hours, depending on the class size and how fast students understand the information. Topics covered are; Understanding your map, how to use a protractor, reading and writing grid coordinates, terrain features, navigation techniques, pace count and distance over time, self-locating, and distance over time. After this course, you will have all the basic knowledge needed to navigate using a map, compass, and protractor. You will find all the course dates here on the site. Dates will be added monthly and are planned for weekends.
Land Nav FTX
This course builds off of the Zoom class and applies everything you learned, into practice. Over 2 days and 2 day nights, you will learn how to create a route, and terrain associate, not depend on dead reckoning, pace count, or Ranger beads. On the 3rd day, you will be individually tested on the Land Nav course. This course is held at The Arena Training Facility, Blakely, GA, and has over 2,300 acres of training ground. This course is unique as The Arena allows On Target Azimuth full access to the facility in order to expose students to all the challenging terrain the facility has to offer.
