6. Equipment Readiness
Following a mission, personnel can easily forget to make sure that equipment is ready to go for the next mission, which can leave teams unprepared when the time comes.
Being prepared to go at a moment’s notice is the name of the game. You may be alerted for another mission within hours of completing one -- it happens!

7. Common Problems Personnel carry too much stuff
Pack realistically, not for a war
There are often multiple uses for one tool or item
Personnel carrying equipment that they are not qualified to use
Just because something looks cool,
doesn’t mean you need it
Carry what you will probably
need for the mission

8. Common Problems Continued
Make sure you gear is secured that you are carrying
Lost equipment does you no good!
To prevent having problems forgetting items- use a check list for equipment
