FIGURE 19.—Shine will betray a vehicle to the enemy observer a long distance away.

FIGURE 20. — Blankets, shelter halves, or pieces of dark-colored burlap or osnaburg are expedients for covering the reflecting surface of a windshield quickly. Foliage may be used to cover headlights.

FIGURE 21. — The wise driver makes his own slip-on covers for head-lights, windshields, and other reflecting surfaces. He keeps them covered at all times, if possible. They may be made of pieces of burlap, osnaburg, or salvage.

FIGURE 22. — Mud and leaves applied liberally to the windshield reduce shine. When moving, the area traversed by the windshield wiper should remain clear.

FIGURE 23.—Never underestimate the betraying nature of shine. The vehicles at the right are parked incorrectly—in line, bumper to bumper. They have tracked up the area unnecessarily. At lower left, the vehicles are moved back into the pattern of the woods and are parked close to scattered trees. Such areas should provide excellent concealment, but here they do not because of shine on upper surfaces of vehicles.

FIGURE 24.—A clear illustration of the effect of shine. Even under heavy overhead cover, this large pontoon trailer and truck is not concealed. Shiny objects may be revealed through the numerous gaps which exist in the overhead canopy of almost every wooded area. Even here, camouflage discipline must not be relaxed. Such smooth surfaces must be covered with natural or artificial materials.
