Q78 (CISF/2019) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

To secure an outpost in a deep jungle area, several points have to be kept in mind. Which one of the following is not one of them?

Explanation

In tactical security and jungle warfare, light discipline is a fundamental principle. Maintaining bright lights inside a camp at night is a major security risk because it creates a silhouette effect, making the personnel inside easy targets for snipers or attackers concealed in the surrounding darkness. Furthermore, bright internal lights destroy the night vision of the sentries, making it impossible for them to monitor the dark perimeter effectively.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for securing outposts include:

  • Using night vision devices and binoculars for surveillance (Option A).
  • Constructing firing trenches and weapon pits for defensive cover (Option B).
  • Ensuring a single entry/exit point in a zig-zag pattern to control access and prevent a direct line of fire into the interior (Option C).
