Preventing Heat Injuries
Heat injuries are among the most preventable hazards of field training. Leaders should schedule the most strenuous tasks, such as ruck marches and obstacle courses, for the cooler morning hours and enforce regular work-rest cycles when the heat index climbs. Soldiers should drink water steadily throughout the day rather than waiting until they feel thirsty, because thirst lags behind the body's actual need for fluid. However, drinking far more than the recommended amount can also be dangerous, because it dilutes the salt in the blood. Anyone who becomes confused, stops sweating or collapses must be cooled immediately and evacuated for medical care.
