During night movements, which equipment is essential to maintain visibility and prevent misidentification?

• A. Infrared camouflage
• B. Solar radios
• C. Daylight maps
• D. Night-vision devices

Answer: (D)

Night-vision devices provide the necessary capability to see in low-light conditions, amplifying available light (and sometimes using infrared) to reveal terrain, obstacles, and people. This directly supports maintaining visibility and accurate identification during movement in the dark, helping you distinguish friend from foe and stay oriented. Infrared camouflage is about avoiding detection by IR sensors rather than improving your own visibility, so it doesn’t help you see better. Solar radios are for communications, not visibility. Daylight maps aid planning, but they don’t provide real-time visual input at night. So the essential equipment is night-vision devices.
