They are still using the lensatic compass, but they are moving toward cheaper production models. The ones that were in the fleet when I was a lt were solid pieces of equipment, but as they broke or got lost, they were replaced with cheaper models that dont work nearly as well as the old ones and are far less sturdy.

I dont even carry a military compass. I carry a silva explorer. I like it better as it is easier to use on the move.

just my opinion
