For military personnel, effective orientation in the field is critically important. In such scenarios, a reliable military compass is indispensable, aiding in spatial awareness. The M-Tac Army Compass operates on the fundamental principle of interaction between its internal permanent magnets and the Earth's magnetic field, ensuring its needles consistently point North and South under all circumstances.
This M-Tac military compass features a durable folding aluminum frame (which includes the cover with a sighting wire and the base housing the rotating capsule with the dial and needle). The frame is used to accurately set the azimuth. To take an azimuth reading, align the long side of the compass with your landmark, rotate the dial capsule until the magnetic North arrow aligns with the North marking on the dial. The numerical azimuth value is then read at the mark on the end of the frame facing the landmark.
This army compass model is equipped with a sighting eye (peep sight) to enable a more precise view of the azimuth combination. Additionally, a ruler is integrated into the compass frame, assisting with exact map calculations and measurements. This combination of features makes the M-Tac Army Compass a precise and rugged navigation tool.
