The Laws of
Combat

The enemy will always find a way.

The easy way is mined.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

If the enemy is in range — so are you.

Look unimportant. The enemy may be low on ammo.

Professionals are predictable; it's the amateurs that are dangerous.

If the attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

If you can't remember, the Claymore is pointed at you.

Never draw enemy fire — it irritates your teammates.

When you secure an area, make sure you tell the enemy.

When you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in the combat zone.

If it's tough for the enemy to enter, it may be tougher for you to leave.

The enemy diversion you ignored will be the main attack.

Remember, your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.

In hand-to-hand combat, you have but one choice: win or lose.

If you're close enough to strike, you're close enough to get hit.

Your opponent is not defeated until his “will to fight” is defeated.

Analyze your opponent before the first strike. Select your targets. Destroy them.

A true warrior is prepared to die in combat. If you're not — don't engage.

Lose focus, lose the fight. Stay alert, stay alive.

Take away your opponent's weapons — end the fight.

Look at your opponent, but see everything. Don't concentrate on the tree and miss the forest.

Your opponent will always give you his weapon(s). When he does — destroy them.

Never underestimate your opponent. Respect his abilities — then take him out.
