  CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS FOR SURFACE SITES
  • Natural vegetation.
  • Ghille suits.
  • Ground blinds.
  • Poncho(s), waterproof.
  • Yeti or camouflage net to prevent reflection.
  • One 550-pound cord or bungee cords.
  • Chicken wire (optional).
  • Burlap or canvas cloth (optional).
  CONSIDERATIONS FOR SURFACE SITES
  G-2. Team members--
  • Avoid cutting vegetation, use man-made or natural camouflage.
  • Keep equipment packed when not in use.
  • Remain in uniform and keep on load-carrying equipment.
  • Maintain security around the clock.
  • Construct small, easy to conceal two-man site or,
  • Construct three-man site for longer stays (one rests while others surveil).
  • Rotate surveillance teams just after dark and just before daylight.
  • Set up communications between the hide and surveillance sites.
  • Take their rucksacks to the surveillance site.
  • Remain in hide site during day when conditions only allow limited visibility surveillance.
  • Use nets or natural camouflage to construct all-round concealment for the surveillance site.
  Ensure that site is hidden from every angle, including overhead.
  • Determine the location of the hide, surveillance, and communication (if used) sites, based on
  METT-TC, but especially based on terrain.
  • Try to change direction when moving from the hide site to the surveillance site. For example,
  move in a dogleg or fishhook, or take an indirect route.
  • Never wear a ghillie suit during movement, because pieces can rip off in vegetation and leave a
  trail. Instead, put the suit on just before occupying the surveillance site.
  HASTY SUBSURFACE SITES
  G-3. The team constructs a hasty subsurface site when they have too little time to construct a complete
  subsurface site. A hasty subsurface site is especially useful in the absence of natural cover and
  concealment. They plan the site so they can improve it to a full subsurface site as time and the situation
  allow (Figure G-2 and Figure G-3).
