This guide, presented with instructional tone from an experienced instructor, details the testing and application of glow-in-the-dark and IR patches. It covers their visibility under night vision, their function as IR reflectors for identification, and specific use cases, emphasizing that these patches are best utilized up close and not for constant wear. The expert assessment highlights the instructor's experienced authority.

IR patches reflect infrared light, appearing bright under NVGs but often lack readability at distances beyond close range. They pose tactical risks in urban settings by reflecting security camera IR illuminators, potentially compromising user position. Their primary utility is for close-quarters friendly force identification without audible or visible light signals.
