Section I Introduction
Deployment location, weather conditions, and type of mission will
determine packing lists for the mission, personal health, and
survivability. The amount of equipment that UMTs can take may be
limited and varies, depending on the type of unit.
Packing Preparations for Deployment
UMT packing lists must follow unit packing lists and SOPs. Size and
weight of UMT equipment must also be determined. Consider a
worst-case scenario when deciding what to bring. Try to anticipate
other limitations and factors when constructing a packing list.
Carefully consider the climate and METT-TC when determining
other items to bring for personal comfort and effective ministry.
Units generally provide a list of required items for a specific
deployment. However, some items should be considered no matter
what the mission or location.
The following packing lists show items that may be required for a
deployment or a field problem. The universal packing list includes
items to aid in basic survival in most environments; there are also
packing lists for the "A," "B," and "C" bags.
