Military Topography

1. Recognize the basic topographic objects on the land
2. Explain the content and features of the map
3. Use a topographic map for orientation on the land and cartographic measurement
4. Explain the basic features of the UTM map projection
5. Explain and use land profiles
6. Explain and measure azimuth

Classes are held in classrooms for all students

Exercises are conducted in specialized classrooms
