Section III. DETECTION-GRADE 2 



61. Ordnance— Grade 2 (Table 1) 



a. Buried. Carefully cut a cover plate out of 

 the ground (fig 36). Slice this in half, discard 

 one half and carefully set the other aside. Dig 

 the hole as in grade 1. After emplacing the mine, 

 cover the down trail half of the mine with dirt, 

 then place the half cover plate on top of the dirt 

 (fig 37). Discard any excess dirt well off the 

 trial on the downwind side. 



b. Buried (Alternate). Dig the hole as in grade 

 1. Place dirt over the down trail half of the mine, 

 then cover this with grass, leaves, or pine needles 

 (fig 38). 



c. Hidden. Place the target on the ground so 

 that it is about half hidden by vegetation, or 

 place the target in a fallen log or the hollow of 

 a tree. The exposed half should face uptrail. 



d. Elevated. Repeat the procedure used in 

 grade 1, except hide the target so that it is parti- 

 ally concealed by leaves (fig 39). 



e. Deadwood. Place the target on the ground. 

 Cover the down trail half with chunks of dead- 

 wood (fig 40). 



62. Tripwires— Grade 2 (Table 2) 



Lanes should be set up as in grade 1, except that 

 each white string should be 6 to 9 inches above 

 the ground, with a green or brown thread strung 

 6 inches above it. This arrangement is especially 

 useful with dogs that have a tendency to jump 

 the white strings, since they will break the 

 thread. 



63. Practice 



Handlers should first practice setting grade 2 

 lanes before working their dogs. 



64. Procedure 



Follow the procedure outlined for grade 1 de- 

 tection. 



65. Performance Criteria 



a. Handler. The handler must be able to place 

 ordnance and tripwires, and control his dog. 



b. Dog. The dog must achieve a good response 

 (GR) average or 70 percent on all targets em- 

 ployed (except personnel) during grade 2 detec- 

 tion training.
