The mission tailored, modular force:
1. The ‘one box’ storage/shipping/functional container system enhances mission capabilities, meets world-wide logistics standards, and saves significant time and resources. It creates the capability for a nearly “instant” FOB. Equipment/supplies are no longer packed/unpacked, loaded/unloaded, et. multiple times.
2. The CONEX unit is rust-proof, self-leveling, has standard wall interfaces for modular interior equipment, and has standard electrical/water/cable runs. Armored/insulated onsite with local materials.
3. Units pre-load supplies/equipment (weapons, ammo, rations, beds, etc.) in the squad ‘box,’ for example, to support the first xx mission days.
4. Containers are configured to functions:
a. Barracks/living quarters
b. Showers
c. Supply/logistics
d. Maintenance/repair
e. Operations/comms
f. Medical
g. Power
h. Tactical (gun towers/sensor & mast arrays)
i. Laundry
j. Toilets
k. Gyms
l. Water purification
m. Kitchen

Expert Patterns of Battlefield Thinking
Keep a focus on mission accomplishment and higher commander's intent.
Model a thinking enemy. Consider effects of terrain. Use all elements/systems
available. Include considerations of timing. Exhibit visualizations that are
dynamic and proactive. Consider contingencies and
remain flexible. Consider how your fight fits into
the bigger picture from friendly and enemy perspectives.

The most critical training that prepared Soldiers for efficient and effective task accomplishment under life-threatening, fast-paced, and stressful conditions are:
• Time management• Command of the basics• skill mastery• Combat focus• Visualization• Repetition, and • Use of job aids
Human performance at elite levels is heavily dependent upon intangible, mental factors, i.e.
• Confidence despite setbacks, • Concentration amidst distractions, • Composure during times of stress.

• Base-case IET attrition risk is 15%• Further left or right of the center line means increased risk (or less risk) of attrition. • Bubble size is relative size of RA accessions that are associated with that
factor. 20% female bubble is about 1/2 the size of the 33% TSC IIIB bubble. • Not Tier 1 (10%)• Female (20%)• AFQT IIIB (30%)
