Cadets from Georgia Institute of Technology conduct classes over land navigation, Acworth, Ga. (Thursday, January 24, 2019). Students from Kennesaw State University learn the basics for finding an assigned point throughout heavy vegetation. (Photo/Gia Cruz)Cadet Richardson Bioh starts to plot coordinates on a Tenino map, Acworth, Ga (Thursday, January 24, 2019). Cadets are given an 8 digit coordinate to practice with to measure how well the subject is taught. (Photo/Gia Cruz)Cadets receive a series of grid coordinates which allows them to start a route to plan, Acworth, GA. (Thursday, January 24,2019). After receiving coordinates, students are expected to plot their five coordinates, utilize their compasses, use tactics and write down codes once they arrive at their points, which will all be conducted in a 1 hour time span.
