Abstract:

Many of the current field exercises conducted within the Army involve extensive night maneuvers. Such exercises place large numbers of personnel and millions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry into a scenario. No accurate measurements have been made assessing the ability of these troops to adapt to low-level light or perform in night operations.
