During the exercise, pay attention to determining the position of an object or person in the field using the width of the fingers of the hand. The instructor may ask, for example: “Look for a solitary tree that is located at a width of 4 fingers from the bend in the road,” or: “Find the enemy observer lying at a width of 2 fingers to the left of the hilltop,” etc. When using this method of determining position, extend the straightened arm with the thumb raised upward in front of your own eyes. The width of the thumb serves as our positional measure.
