US Army land navigation systems primarily rely on GPS-enabled
technologies. The US Army has developed and integrated precision
position, navigation, and timing systems into every aspect of
operations from land navigation and unit position tracking to
engagement of targets with precision munitions. This system has
proved to be very reliable throughout the wars in Afghanistan and
Iraq, but the vulnerabilities of this system present it as a target
of opportunity for hostile states and organizations. This research
investigates US Army doctrine and training to determine whether or
not legacy land navigation and unit position tracking remain in the
curriculum for junior grade officers. ROTC, USMA, and OCS provided
information pre-commissioning training. The infantry, armor, and
engineer basic courses provided information about the initial
training of company grade officers. Basic map and compass land
navigation training must continue if the US Army plans to continue
dominance in ground warfare. Overreliance on the GPS signal may
result in significant loss of life and equipment if the GPS signal
is lost.
