Flares are bright enough to use during daytime, but are intended for use at night.
Are there flare guns in the military? Yes. The most common places you'd find the hand held kind would probably the Coast Guard, Navy, and auxiliaries such as the Merchant Marine and Civil Air Patrol. In the Army, if we ever used them, it was typically Star Clusters fired from an M203 tube, but the advances in night vision technology have more or less eliminated the need for flares. I'd imagine it would be more the same for the Marines.
The number of handheld distress flares carried in a lifeboat typically varies depending on regulations and the type of vessel. Generally, it is common for lifeboats to carry at least three to six handheld flares, including both red flares for distress signaling and orange smoke signals for daytime use. It's essential for vessels to comply with the safety requirements set by maritime authorities to ensure adequate safety measures are in place.
To use hand-held visual distress signal flares properly, first ensure you are in a safe location away from flammable materials and that the area is clear of obstructions. Remove the flare from its packaging, following any specific instructions provided, and hold it at arm's length while pointing it away from yourself and others. Ignite the flare according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and wave it in a figure-eight motion to attract attention. Once activated, ensure to keep the flare away from your body and dispose of it safely after use.
You can test a flare on a boat in a safe and controlled environment, such as during a scheduled drill or training session. It is important to follow all safety guidelines and regulations governing the use of flares on a boat to avoid accidents and keep everyone onboard safe.
