Stumbled across this today and I thought I better steal them while I have the chance. Who knows if I could find them again if I need to. But now I have a copy here, so I should be able to find them.
- Assume nothing.
- Technology will always let you down.
- Murphy is right.
- Never go against your gut.
- Always listen to your gut; it is your operational antennae.
- Everyone is potentially under opposition control.
- Don’t look back; you are never completely alone. Use your gut.
- Go with the flow; use the terrain.
- Take the natural break of traffic.
- Maintain a natural pace.
- Establish a distinctive and dynamic profile and pattern.
- Stay consistent over time.
- Vary your pattern and stay within your profile.
- Be non threatening: keep them relaxed; mesmerize!
- Lull them into a sense of complacency.
- Know the opposition and their terrain intimately.
- Build in opportunity but use it sparingly.
- Don’t harass the opposition.
- Make sure they can anticipate your destination.
- Pick the time and place for action.
- Any operation can be aborted; if it feels wrong, then it is wrong.
- Keep your options open.
- If your gut says to act, overwhelm their senses.
- Use misdirection, illusion and deception.
- Hide small operative motions in larger non threatening motions.
- Float like a butterfly; sting like bee.
- When free, In Obscura, immediately change direction and leave the area.
- Break your trail and blend into the local scene.
- Execute a surveillance detection run designed to draw them out over time.
- Once is an accident; twice is a coincidence; three times is an enemy action.
- Avoid static lookouts; stay away from chokepoints where they can reacquire you.
- Select a meeting site so you can overlook the scene.
- Keep any asset separated from you by time and distance until it is time.
- If the asset has surveillance, then the operation has gone bad.
- Only approach the site when you are sure it is clean.
- After the meeting or act is done, “close the loop” at a logical cover destination.
- Be aware of surveillance’s time tolerance so they aren’t forced to raise an alert.
- If an alert is issued, they must pay a price and so must you.
- Let them believe they lost you; act innocent.
- There is no limit to a human being’s ability to rationalize the truth.
Number 30 is my favorite. Stolen from Imminent Threat Solutions.
