Chemical Light (“chem-lite") Wands. The chemical light wands are to be used at night for signaling and lighting.
Movement at night is not recommended unless it is a combat situation. If this is the case, the light must be shielded.
Failure to shield may reveal your position to the enemy. The "chem-lite" consists of two parts -the outer plastic shell and
the inner glass vial, both containing chemicals. To activate the wand, bend the outer plastic tube until the inner glass vial
breaks, shake the wand to mix the two chemicals, and the wand will start to glow. See Figure 2-2.
