Which statement about camouflaging exposed skin on the back of the neck and hands is correct?

• A. Exposed skin on the back of the neck and hands should be covered with a two-color irregular pattern or with gloves and a neck scarf.
• B. Expose skin to catch more light.
• C. Only apply paint to the face.
• D. Ignore the neck and hands.

Answer: (A)

Camouflage aims to break up your outline and minimize light reflections that reveal your position. The back of the neck and the hands are often exposed and can catch light or form a contrasting shape. Covering these areas with a two-color irregular pattern, or using gloves and a neck scarf to extend camouflage, creates a disruptive look that blends with the surroundings and reduces silhouettes. This continuous camouflage helps prevent easy detection by breaking color and texture contrasts between skin and environment. Exposing skin to catch more light would make you more noticeable, painting only the face leaves neck and hands uncamouflaged, and ignoring these areas leaves gaps in concealment.
