Which publication covers map reading and land navigation?

• A. FM 7-22
• B. AR 600-8-22
• C. TC 3-25.26
• D. FM 3-22.9

Answer: (C)

Map reading and land navigation are covered by a Training Circular that teaches how to interpret topographic maps, determine locations, plot routes, and navigate in the field using a compass and terrain features. That publication is TC 3-25.26. It covers map types and scales, how to read relief and symbols, grid references, estimating distance and pace count, and navigation techniques such as resection and intersection, including night navigation and route planning. The other publications listed focus on different topics: one is about physical fitness, another on awards and decorations, and another on rifle marksmanship. Because TC 3-25.26 specifically targets map reading and land navigation, it is the best choice.
