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.
