Using the 1:25,000 scale topographic map extract below, answer the following:

During a navex you have become unsure of your position, and have identified three topographic features in proximity to you on both map and ground These features are to the north, south-west and east of your current position. Based on the route you were travelling, Gosford Rifle Range is to the east of your position. Using your compass, you confirm the magnetic bearing of each of these features is:

1. 320 degrees
2. 248 degrees
3. 80 degrees

Use the resection method to determine your location. Note that the magnetic variation for this map (Gosford 9131-2-S) is currently 11.5 degrees east.

You encounter an obstacle - a swamp - on your route of march. It will be advantageous to avoid the obstacle. The correct action to take is:

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

Select an object or feature to your immediate flank that is beyond the known boundary of the obstacle. Plot a new course to this object, and from that object plot another course to another object on your original line of the march.
Move around the edge of the obstacle, keeping as close as possible to it, while maintaining a visual on your original line of march.
Maintain your original line of march - avoiding difficult terrain is not an acceptable action for a section commander to take.
Using evenly spaced section members, advance in line abreast around the obstacle, ensuring that you minimise the number of section members who get wet, while ensuring that you can get the majority of members around the swamp.
