[X]Plan: Quiet Man on a Mission. -[X] Push it to the limit, walk along the razor's edge. Every waking moment of theirs for the next three weeks will be torment, unlike anything they have seen. You will be their closest companion. Every single waking moment is yours, and the rest is a privilege you will take at a moment's notice. Endurance, shooting, basic soldier tasks. They will be perfect. No matter how many late nights and early mornings it takes from you. (+50 Personal Stress, ??? Soldier Stress, Soldier Statistics increase by 1, 4 Secondary Actions.) --[X] Sidearms, sidearms have saved your life more than you can count. A series of M1911s, one for each soldier and yourself along with three spare magazines apiece. Both useful in emergencies and, should worst come to worst, useful in tunnel fighting. --[X] A Navy Corpsman stepped on a mine and splattered six days ago, and his personal equipment, most importantly a full M3 Aid Bag and Surgical Kit is available for being lost in action should you handle the paperwork the right way, and talk the Quartermasters into it. --[X] The Ground Troops Variable Body Armor is a new innovation, given out to mechanized and motorized infantry units where possible due to its protective abilities. It can stop a rifle calibre round when struck from the front. Its disadvantage is that it weighs as much as the rest of a soldier's kit. A mechanized unit had a sniper take out ten folks, either KIA or disabled enough to go back home, leaving some vests free. --[X] The M1942 kit is a fancy phrase for machetes and their scabbards. It'll be a hassle getting some free from the Jungle Eaters, but well worth it in the event of encountering significant brush or foliage.
[X] Plan Delta boys
-[X] It's gonna be a hellish workweek, but they can keep their breaks. Zero-Four to Nineteen-Hundred, Monday through Friday, but they can have their breaks on weekends. You are gonna drive them into the ground, but let them stand up. It'll be a luxury compared to the real work, but at least easier on you. (+25 Personal Stress, ???

-[X] Sleeping Gear, mosquito netting, waterproof tarps and hammocks are all crucial aspects of not sleeping on the jungle floor in the field, and if the time can be found for them, would be crucial for maintaining morale and avoiding insect bites. This would be enough for each soldier.
-[X] The Army is currently embracing something called the M16A1, an improved rifle that can properly feed a 20-round magazine and not jam in the jungle heat, apparently. Getting a set of those early could be an advantage if digging into your innately limited time. And also get you twenty extra rounds per soldier, or marine, carrying it (Replace M16 and magazines with M16A1 and magazines.)
-[X] XM21 Sniper Weapon System, more or less an M14 with a scope on top. A sniper met his end two days ago in a duel, and the rifle was recovered. In heavy 7.62x51 NATO, it has twenty-round magazines and can maintain sustained semi-automatic covering fire or precision fire at a moment's notice. It would be a reasonable idea if you've got a good shooter to make it fall off the back of a truck.
