• Chapter 8 - Tracking and Counter Tracking (16 pages)
  
  • When a sniper follows a trail, he builds a picture of the enemy in his mind by asking himself questions:
  • How many persons am I following?
  • What is their state of training?
  • How are they equipped?
  • Are they healthy?
  • What is their state of morale?
  • Do they know they are being followed?
    
    
• To answer these questions, the sniper uses available indicators to track the enemy.
  • The sniper looks for signs that reveal an action occurred at a specific time and place.
    • For example, a footprint in soft sand is an excellent indicator, since a sniper can determine the specific time the person passed
      
• By comparing indicators, the sniper obtains answers to his questions. For example -
  • A footprint and a waist-high scuff on a tree may indicate that an armed individual passed this way.
  • And how do you turn it on it's head so that those tracking you get totally the wrong idea about where, when and what you are!
