SECTION VIII
SAFETY
Rehearsing as realistically as possible can sometimes be quite dangerous. In the Egyptian crossing of the Suez canal, one Egyptian amphibious brigade lost more soldiers during rehearsals than during the actual crossing operation.
A balance must be achieved between tough realistic training and needless loss of life. Realistic standards can be met, but all personnel must be able to influence their respective areas and have absolute control over events. This requires detailed leadership involvement at all levels. Remember, everyone is a safety officer.
