How often does today’s Army train on land navigation without GPS? I believe I read somewhere that the DOD / military does not print or issue paper maps anymore. Perhaps a recent or current servicemember can weigh in.

I don't know. But it is rather like the Army learning operating in a poison gas environment.

It is a skill which may be useful for a very limited circumstances. But, we train to be able to operate in protective gear.
