What military doesn't teach navigation with a compass? I would also imagine that most, if not all, teach rangefinding to those who might need it; snipers/sharpshooters, gunners, etc.

My only military experience is from my compulsory service in the Finnish Defence Forces, where everyone does have to learn how to read maps and use a compass (we never used gps/other equivalent). I was in signals myself, so I didn't have any training for rangefinding.
