Generally the expectation is that with a map, compass, and protractor a member of the Army should be able to navigate a land nav course(the simulation is very similar to the real courses). In practice, it's much more likely that a combat arms soldier would know how to use this than someone that works in something like cyber operations.

In my time in the Infantry we spent a significant amount of time working on honing landnav skills, both theory, and practice.

They seem to be doing great work on that front. I was favorably impressed by the documentation attached to the tools in the game.
