MURPHY’S LAW FOR THE COMBAT ZONE
 If the enemy is in range, so are you.
 Incoming fire has the right of way.
 Don’t look conspicuous, it draws fire.
 The easy way is always mined.
 Try to look unimportant, they may be low on
ammunition.
 Proffessionals are predictable, it is the amateurs who are
dangerous.
 The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions : When you are ready for them, OR
 When you are not ready for them.
 Team work is essential; it gives them someone else to
shoot at.
 If you can’t remember, the claymore is always pointed
at you.
 The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the
main attack.
 If your attack is going well , you have walked into an
ambush.
 Never draw fire , it irritates everyone around you.
 Anything you can do can get you shot, including
nothing.
 Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you won’t be
able to get out.
 Never share a fox hole with one braver than yourself
 If you are short of anything but the enemy, you are in
the combat zone.
 When you have secured an area, don’t forget to tell the
enemy.
 Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest
bidder.
