The Art of Staying Hidden and Concealed
The Art of Staying Hidden and Concealed
When Milites Dei Academy students try to camouflage in order to stay hidden, they are taught that the colours of their camouflage should be the same as the surroundings and that is true for day- and night conditions.
Orlando Wilson (Modern humans are positively disadvantaged when surviving in and moving on foot in rural and wilderness areas…When moving you must do so quietly and regularly stop to look, listen and smell for any indication of people. If you identify people in your proximity are you going to take cover, evade or ambush?’
Wilson continues by advising that ‘..You need to learn to treat the night and darkness as your friend, darkness affords you cover. Many people are afraid of being in the dark especially in rural areas or derelict buildings; you should use this to your advantage. If you are moving you should always try to stay in the shadows, if you get caught in a beam of light or car headlights you should freeze, the chances are that you will remain unnoticed. You must have your immediate reaction drills for encountering a person, being caught in light or hostile fire at the forefront of your mind. Being caught off guard will get you captured or killed.

The students posed for a night photo with a flash light but they were actually excellently concealed with the sand of a small open hill…so they became part (colour and texture) of the environment. See the picture below.
Night Concealment
During day, students uses fresh foliage to again blend into the environment so that they are artfully concealed.
