Listen carefully to the mission briefing (make a mental map).

Use Mission Critical Priorities (MCPs): know your Mission Critical Milestones (MCMs); act as a unit; assess mission threats; focus on next step, plan ahead to next MCM, keep mental record.

Know your Mission Pathway: Start Point, Approach, Complete Mission Objectives; Withdraw, End Point.

Perfect Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

On mission rely on each other.

When resources are limited halve your rations each day until replenished.

Lay a mental trail to the rendezvous point.

Get in, complete the objectives and get out without delay.

Never assume you’re undetected.

Where possible have alternative exit routes.
