Hey all,
I know there are many topics posted in the past with info pertaining to CG duties, however I couldn't find anything related to the following. In my joining instructions, I received a massive kit list for the operation, including ridiculous items such as FFO/all field kit, inner AND outer sleeping bags, winter wool socks, ICE combat jacket etc. - I think you get the point. The beginning of the kit list includes the message "ALL RANKS TASKED TO CG, WILL BRING THE ITEMS BELOW. Field Kit, Travel Order, and Service Dress (complete). These are operational requirements." I do find it impossible to recognize how items that will lead to death from heat exhaustion could possibly be required. Additionally, this is obviously not a field tasking, so what makes all this kit necessary? Does anyone have any information on how important it really is to bring all items on this kit list?
Many thanks.
