So is the loss of an entire team because they couldn't make commo. Probably of all the MOSs, and I know I will probably get my nuts in a ringer over this, I felt that this was the most critical to the team. I felt so strongly about this that I required each of my teams to have two cross trained folks in commo and made sure all officers could send and receive at least 10 wpm so that they understood the complexities of what it took to get stuff out and in. On some of my exercises I would cache a walkman in one place, put a tape in a dead drop with the exfil msg on it at 16 wpm. If you couldn't recover the cache and dead drop and break the msg I let you wander around until I was ready to let you come home by activating an emergency contact procedure.
