Introduction

In the name of Allah most Merciful the Compassionate.

Circumstances in the war zone require speed of change which is one of the most important aspects in the modern war. This quick change directly affects the structure of the divisions that the leader has done. For that reason, having enough knowledge and information about the area is important. This puts strong emphasis on the need for enhanced map reading skills to help map users get the most benefits from the rich information content of maps.

With the outstanding progress achieved in the fields of  information technology and the continuous evolution of modern weaponry systems, digital maps are becoming essential components of these systems  that serve controlling, navigating and structuring of divisions.

 Nevertheless, this technological boom did not stop using the paper maps but it helped enhancing its precision, look and production process. Combined with the wide spread use of modern positioning systems like GPS the use of maps for all kinds of orientation and position determination is becoming simpler and more useful than ever before.
