That might be part of the game; how resourceful are you? Can you find the information needed to play it without someone handing it to you? That's interesting,

  Generally the expectation is that with a map, compass, and protractor a member of the Army should be able to navigate a land nav course(the simulation is very similar to the real courses). In practice, it's much more likely that a combat arms soldier would know how to use this than someone that works in something like cyber operations. In my time in the Infantry we spent a significant amount of time working on honing landnav skills, both theory, and practice. *Edit* Also, there is already a manual for everything you do in the military.

I was favorably impressed by the documentation attached to the tools in the game. > To convert a magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth, add G-M angle > To convert a grid azimuth to a magnetic azimuth, subtract G-M angle (emphasis original, but provided by underlining instead of italics)

  I suspect it's because in real life, you will have just sat through a death-by-powerpoint on principles of landnav for 90 minutes of some bored E6 reading off the slides to a whole bunch of even more bored E4's and then you get to play the game to practice.
