S
oldiers, sometimes little things make a big difference. Using a ground guide when
you maneuver equipment can prevent equipment damage. It can also keep Soldiers
safe. Using ground guides every time does make a
big
difference!
Since ground guides act as a vehicle operator’s eyes, have your unit apply the
following tips for safe ground guide usage:
•±
Train drivers to correctly use ground guides.
•±
Train drivers and other Soldiers how to ground guide.
•±
Make sure drivers stop if they lose sight of their ground guide.
•±
Always use ground guides when backing up and in congested areas.
•±
Use ground guides when traveling cross-country during limited visibility.
•±
Use ground guides in bivouac and assembly areas.
•±
Use two ground guides when vision is restricted.
•±
Equip ground guides with suitable lights, such as two flashlights and extra batteries.
•±
Ground guides will:
±
-
clear themselves, clear the vehicle, and give vehicle movement commands.
±
-
stay in the driver’s line of sight.
±
-
keep a proper distance, at least ten yards, from the vehicle.
±
-
stay out of the path of travel by keeping to the side and front (or side and rear) of the
vehicle, ideally on the driver’s side.
±
-
never walk backward and never get between two vehicles.
±
-
only give signals to the driver.
±
-
use hands signals. Voice signals can be misunderstood or go unheard.
