Usage Notes

All grids are in UTM Zone 17R, 100,000m grid square MP (Camp Blanding area).
Grids are 8-digit (10m accuracy) for training purposes.
When modifying OPORDs, ensure all grid references are updated consistently throughout the document.
Consider terrain features and line-of-sight when selecting alternate grids.
Grids above have been visually validated against the HawgOps MGRS-gridded imagery (2026-04-10). All references agree with terrain and street features to within 8-digit (10m) training tolerance.
