Maintain cohesion

  • Prevent people or elements from wandering off
  • Actively steer people when needed
  • Allow for looser formations when in low risk areas, as maintaining strict cohesion takes energy that is better used when in combat

Deal with casualties

When taking a casualty, focus on winning the engagement as the primary priority:

  • If stationary, ensure the minimally needed amount of people are working on the casualty, and only if those people are not needed for the engagement
  • If moving, ensure the movement continues, taking the casualty along deferring treatment to after the movement is complete

When the situation allows, transfer the casualty to higher levels of care, unburdening the element.

Manage supplies

  • Ensure people have access to enough supplies to sustain the current pace of combat, taking into account the speed at which new supplies can be delivered.
  • Proactively request resupply as soon as a need can be anticipated, allowing for the maximum amount of time for the supply chain to work. 
  • Share supplies to maintain all-around fighting ability
  • Limit the usage of supplies when running short

Equipment load spreading

An element can only move as fast as the heaviest person. This means that, to the greatest extent possible, all equipment should be distributed among the members of the element, to equalise weight.

A couple of examples:

  • Have people carry their own PAK and other medical supplies
  • Distribute ammo between members, instead of having the dedicated roles carry everything. This includes ammo that might not be usable by the person carrying it
