The compass is made by Cammenga, and has tritium vials. I remember having to use a flashlight to see the compass while running the land navigation course in the Marines, so I am not sure about the tritium vials.
The NSN is: 6605-01-196-6971
I Think I am on track, but it never hurts to get a second opinion.
Thanks in advance

You will be issued a GI lensatic compass.
I do not think that duplicating it is a key factor in SFAS success or failure.
