This manual is excellent, a lot of it is common sense, lots of excellent info though. Unfortunetly, I'm sure this knowledge was paid in blood, so that we can know.

Gutted 550 cord, looped, exiting the small water drain hole on the bottom of each mag will aid in the removal of a magazine. Also, placing an non-pourus 1/4" cushion at the bottom of the ammo pouch will raise the magazine said height.
Of course none of this really matters, on an ODA there are no individual deviations, one does what the team decides is the SOP. Each new mission may require something different. That's why we rehearse, and rehearse, and rehearse until we get it right.
