Critical Juncture 1: Equipment Selection
Time Expired. Penalty Applied. Make Your Decision Now!
After being woken up in the middle of the night, your team was assigned the daunting task of conducting a Combat Search and Rescue operation to locate and rescue a downed Canadian pilot, Captain Sabrina Chan, callsign FALCON1.
Your team received its Mission Briefing and finished a Team Planning Session. One thing is clear — there are a million things that could go wrong, and it’s difficult to get your heads wrapped around all of the mission parameters.
Just then, your Quartermaster — who is in charge of all of the specialized equipment to support your mission — walks into the room.
“Team, I need you to finalize your mission load ASAP.”
Select the equipment package that best aligns with your mission. This equipment is in addition to your individual, standard Combat Load .
Explore the equipment packages made available by your Quartermaster. Select a tab to review each package and consider how it may shape later mission options.

Drones: Small unmanned aircraft used for reconnaissance and observation.
GPS tracker: Device that uses satellites to track precise location.
Thermal imaging: Detects heat signatures, useful in darkness or smoke.
Night vision: Optical technology to see in low-light environments.
Option 4: Camouflage & Concealment
