Command task 11: Medivac
Equipment: None
Time: 5 -10 minutes
Where: A large, open flat area
Aim: Get the whole team safely across to the other side of the open area
Benefits: Logic and co-operation
Instructions: To cross the open area a person must be carried. The carrier must return and be carried across themselves. The only person allowed to walk across is the very last person. If the carried person touches the ground while being transported, both must return to the start. Cadets, who think this through and plan the order, rather than just launching in, tend to be far more successful.
Make it easier: Reduce the size of the teams
Make it harder: Impose rules on who must cross the open area first/lastÂ
