Orienteering [training or competitive] in the Army, up to and including Army Team and Individual Championships, is classified as participating in ‘Individual Military Training’.
It is a distinct form of navigation training, usually taking place in rural areas (although camps are also now mapped) where it is possible to navigate freely between control points on foot i.e. not limited to tracks and paths. Orienteering complements Core Health and Fitness and supports Core Combat Skills (Navigation) Individual Training requirements (ITRs) for Army personnel.
