In the last entry we examined developing cover in and around our immediate area of operations (which as usual is our ranch or farm). Referring back you’ll remember cover is the first part of the C in OCOKA (Observation and fields of fire, Cover and Concealment, Obstacles, Key terrain, Avenues of Approach). In this entry we’re going to tackle that second part of the C which is concealment. This topic has been beaten to death in hundreds of manuals, websites, and blogs so I’m not going into a lot of weeds with this one but I’ll frame it more of as what we can do that I haven’t seen addressed for our purpose. What is concealment? Concealment are measures you take to avoid detection, observation, and targeting by the threat. That detection may include not only visual means by either daylight or darkness (night vision), acoustic means (through noise), but also electronic means as well i.e. radio traffic interception. Our efforts in this entry will primarily address countering those three techniques however we’ll touch on some others as well. During this entry I want you to keep one thing in mind – you need to examine your efforts from the threats perspective and what you think its capabilities are. Looking out isn’t going to give you as clear a picture of your efforts as looking in.
