1. Prepared Detailed Maps
- What it Means: You created or updated maps to show important details about the land, like where troops are located, where obstacles might be, and what the terrain looks like. These maps help commanders and soldiers understand the environment so they can make better decisions.
- How to Think of It: It’s like creating a super-detailed map of a hiking trail, but for soldiers in the field. You mark where the best paths are, where danger might be, and where to find resources like water or shelter.
- What it Means: Before any mission, you checked armored vehicles (like tanks or armored trucks) to make sure they were in good working condition. You made sure the engines were running, the tires were good, and everything from the weapons to the radios were ready for action.
- How to Think of It: Imagine checking your car before a long road trip—checking the oil, tires, and brakes to make sure everything is safe and ready to go. For armored vehicles, it’s even more important because they need to be reliable in dangerous situations.
- What it Means: You learned how to use maps, compasses, and GPS devices to find your way around, even in tough terrain or unfamiliar places. This is important because knowing where you are and how to move safely is key to getting soldiers where they need to go.
- How to Think of It: It’s like going on a hike where you can’t rely on signs or GPS—you need to use a compass and map to figure out your way. The training taught you to do this, but under pressure and in more challenging conditions.
- What it Means: You helped train and guide less experienced soldiers, making sure they followed safety rules and understood what to do during missions. You also made sure they stayed focused and did their job correctly while on the move.
- How to Think of It: Think of it like being a coach or mentor for a new employee or someone just learning a new skill. You made sure they were safe, knew what they were doing, and didn’t make any mistakes in the field.
