COT:
Many of us are laser focused on the mission, objective, or problem right in front of us. But we need to remember to secure our flanks including vulnerable lines of supply, communications, and opportunities for rest and retreat behind us. This week, take time to look back, secure the ground you’ve gained, and assess your losses. Consider stepping back from the front to recharge, plan, create opportunities for others to rotate forward, and get back to your fight (whatever it may be) stronger.
