AN/PAQ-4C and AN/PEQ-2A BZO procedures
Article Abstract:
Obtaining an accurate battle zero (BZO) on night vision devices, such as the AN/PAQ-4C and the AN/PEQ-2A, is an important step toward effective night operations. The basic tool in the zeroing process is the technical manual, which every position safety officer should have to ensure an accurate BZO. The zeroing process for the AN/PAQ-4C and the AN/PEQ-2A is the same and is consists of altering the actual BZO targets, establishing a mechanical zero, using the bore sight filter and assuming a shooting position.

Off-the-shelf technology can be applied today
Article Abstract:
Commercial off-the-shelf technologies for military operations are already available on the market. Manufacturers have designed global positioning systems (GPS) and single-channel ground and airborne radio systems precisely for improving communications and information. The combination of a GPS and a hand-held radio gives battlefield participants the ability to establish an accurate picture of current conditions that can be immediately relayed to the entire command.
