I go anywhere in the world they
tell me to go, any time they tell
me to, to fight anybody they
want me to fight. I move my
family anywhere they tell me to
move, on a day’s notice and
live in whatever quarters they
assign me. . . And I like it.

hence manifests, disrespect
toward others, especially his
inferiors, cannot fail to inspire
hatred against himself.

PE – The CLP
A combat logistical patrol you are leading is attacked. An IED
detonates, destroys your lead and second vehicles, and also
damages several others. Then small arms fire riddles the CLP.
Your unit responds in the appropriate manner, IAW your unit SOPs
and immediate action drills. As your CLP members secure the
immediate area and begin to clear some small buildings in the
immediate area, you notify your Company CP and request
MEDEVAC for your WIA and KIA. All is now quiet.
In the process of clearing the buildings, your platoon discovers one
seriously wounded local national, one KIA, and the platoon takes
three other men into custody. None of the three is armed but a
weapons cache, ammunition, documents, and explosives are
discovered in an adjacent room.
When those taken into custody are brought to you, it is clear the
men have been injured, possibly beaten. Some of the detainees
require medical attention for their injuries but none appear to be
seriously injured. You provide a SITREP back to the Company CP.
They notify you that assistance and the commander are enroute.
