My 1SG in Panama showed us this one:

If you are digging in to a defense and speed is more important that surprise (like if they already know you're there), have everyone move in after the leaders recon/crew served weapons and scrape out the size and shape of the position at least 6 inches down if you can.

Pull back to the ORP leaving the demos there and drop a bangalore into each position, tamp it and set up your ring main and blow. Have demo team repeat again and you occuppy and scoop out your new foxhole. From there, if you need to clear field of fire, the bangalore is your friend. Put few together and push them down your primary sector of fire and let the demo teams do there thing.

Others:

Using cheap cell phones with group setting for text message security alerts in real time reporting

For those fancy nights when you have some wine at the team house, cut water bottles in half, point cap down. You now have proper goblets
