Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Camouflage for Troops of the Line Under the head of camouflage may be included all precautions taken to render positions and moving objects of military importance less visible. These precautions are by no means limited to. work done by specially organized camouflage troops, but every command must think and operate independently to lessen its visibility and to render its movements or positions less easy to range. The subject naturally divides itself into two separate heads: First. Concealment. Second. Camouflage discipline. Neither is of value without the other. I. Concealment. The feature of camouflage work which is most generally discussed and widely known is concealment. It may be accomplished in any of the three following ways, as the case may demand, but will usually be accomplished by a combination of two or all three of the methods: (a) Frank screening of the object, which hides the object, although the screen itself is obvious. - This should only be employed where the extent of the screening is great by comparison with the object concealed. Example: Roads may be covered for long stretches with burlap both to the sides and overhead, affording a considerable measure of security to the troops using the roads, since it is not worth while to fire continuously on a long stretch of road on the chance that some part of it may be in use. (b) Mimicry or simulation of natural objects. - In this type of concealment the material used must appear to be part of the terrain. There is no condition where this is inadvisable except where it may be too expensive in time or labor, by comparison with the result obtained, as in the case of screens before cited. Example of proper use: Covering gun pits with cloth, wire, and earth to simulate the earth about them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
