Which statement best defines concealment?

• A. Concealment Hides You From Enemy Observation.
• B. Concealment Provides Ballistic Protection.
• C. Concealment Guarantees Invisibility To All Detection.
• D. Concealment Requires Bright Clothing.

Answer: (A)

Concealment is about staying hidden from the enemy’s view. You achieve it by using terrain, vegetation, and camouflage to break up your outline and keep you out of sight, so you’re not easily observed. It does not provide ballistic protection—that’s the job of cover or armor. It also doesn’t make you invisible to every kind of detection, since heat, sound, scent, and other cues can still reveal you. Bright clothing would make you more visible, defeating concealment.
