Contact. Wait out. #5 SOPs. Fight Light.


Contact. Wait out. #5 SOPs. Fight Light.

The infantry has decided that soldier needs to carry less kit. The rocket scientists have figured out that people get tired and combat ineffective if they are loaded down with heavy equipment. Therefore, they have decided to implement a new policy that required soldiers to ditch all unnecessary kit when going into action.

The army "Fight Light" policy has been drummed into the troops but the seniors are still figuring it out for themselves. Tiny daysacks are the new way forward and any personal kit is to be left behind. Seniors are even telling the lads to leave their warm kit behind forgetting that guys freeze their nuts off in LUPs and while they're monging it at end-ex.

Most guys carry the bare minimum already. It isn't new.
