Absolutely. There are even circumstances where different members of the same element need to be using different techniques. I get a little concerned when we get more involved with the drill than the execution and that is often driven by some safety nut on a range or some training checklist that is used for expedient grading of the event. The bottom line is that the better trained you are to deal with the actualities of the missions you expect with associated contingencies the more likely you and your troops will come out of it successfully. SOPs are nice, but common sense and the situation will dictate what you do and how you do it. Your goal is to be able to adapt and you do not adapt well if you don't explore all the possibilities and train for them. It may not look pretty, but then dead is never pretty.
