You will be notified of any additions to/subtractions from the list above depending on the mission.
The above were taken from the Ground and Urban Direction Finding Team Tasks Manual, Jan. 2001. Recommendations in addition to the manual have been made. Often, a ground team will have different variations of this equipment among its members, but having the most basic equipment is vital--water, food, proper clothing layers.
