[quote="Using the === A quick note on using coordinate grid"]grids ====From A-CR-CCP-121/PT-001, EO 405.03: LOCATE SPECIFIC POINT ON A MAP USING A FOUR AND SIX FIGURE GRID REFERENCE AND CONSTRUCTING A ROMER. Substitute 50m grid squares for our game use.Quote:<blockquote>Military grid references use the two-digit grid line numbers to identify specific grid squares. For centuries, mathematicians have always stated the X coordinate (horizontal) before the Y coordinate (vertical), so map users have adopted that procedure. Eastings are stated before Northings. Every 1000m grid square is identified by listing the numbers of the grid lines that intersect at its bottom left corner.

=== Using Grid References at Panther ===
Three ways to use the map for indicating location, Enemy in Red
==== Areas of Operation ====
* MGRS Example - each square is 10x10 m, each unit is 5m box (numbered 0-9 across the side of the grid square)

==== Abbreviated GPS UTM ====
* easy with handheld GPS set to UTM
* GPS Example - each square is 5x5 m, each unit is 10m box

(example SNIPPED)
Remember: a four-figure grid reference refers to the entire grid square. '''The easiest way to remember to list the eastings then northings is to say, “In the door, then up the stairs.”'''
