- Adjust shoulder and side straps for a secure, high-and-tight fit that prevents shifting during movement.
- Verify sidearm fit in the cross-draw holster and load rifle and pistol magazines into their designated pouches.
- Conduct dry-fire drills, focusing on primary-to-secondary weapon transitions to ensure a clean, snag-free draw stroke.
- Perform mobility checks (running, kneeling) to identify and correct any gear shifting or interference points before deployment.
- Attach mission-essential MOLLE gear, such as hydration or medical pouches, to the rear PALS webbing for a balanced loadout.
