Helpful tips
Do not depend on someone else to remember things for you. Pack your own.
Keep all your gear in one spot, not all over your home.
Bring only for yourself, do not try to supply the unit with gear and food.
Military: Remember we are Campaign. No coolers, chairs, tables, stool, cots etc. A small wooden box is okay. Bring only what you can carry on your back.
You may always use a bedroll to carry your extra items in.
