Figure 071-331-0804-9. Off-center vision
d. Preserve night vision by—
(1) Closing both eyes when exposed to bright light.
(2) Closing one eye only and observing with other when surveillance
must be maintained.
Note: Maintaining surveillance is one of the basic, critical combat skills. Because it is hard
to tell if the above techniques are being used, frequent training is the only way to ensure
mastery of this skill. This task is easy to integrate with other tactical training. In addition to
the training given above, frequent familiarization with the sounds of vehicles and weapons
fire, with common smells (such as gasoline, campfires, and deodorants) in the field
environment, is recommended.
Evaluation Preparation: Setup: Provide the Soldier with the equipment
and/or materials described in the conditions statement.
Brief Soldier: Tell the Soldier what is expected of him by reviewing the

and dangers to avoid injury to personnel and, if applicable, damage to
equipment.
