Even today on NCO Carder's, it is taught on how to do Field Briefings / Plans of attack Etc . By using your Entrenching tool. & using twigs, Coloured wool If available to mark routes. Or your imagination to utilise just about anything that was available. To illustrate terrain & positions, land marks Etc.

The usual procedure was to cut out a small pit approx. 4" deep, x 6Ft x 5Ft. & use this for your ground plan layout. I have seen some that looked amazing, You usually had 15 mins to complete one of these!...The only limit was your imagination!

There are commercial JNCO kits available to purchase privately today. That contain clear laminated coloured cards, Wool, Chalk Etc. All fitting in a Tabaco Tin to fit in your pocket Etc.

When the briefing was completed, the whole thing was destroyed / broken up, turfs replaced etc. Leaving no sign of human intervention!
