Operation leaders are not obligated to follow this section's guidance so long as the deviation is ''intentional''. However, if it isn't clear that it is, and your kit is lacking in the above, you should speak up.

Many roles {{Emdash}} and sometimes it's specified for a whole element {{Emdash}} have something called a ''march load''. This is the '''maximum''' weight a kit for that role may have. This is set to balance firepower and stamina consumption. You should meet this load as closely as possible. You may intuitively believe that being very underweight is a positive, but it's more likely you will cause yourself problems later.

A common idea shown in media is that a car door will stop bullets. Aside from vehicles designed to be armored, a car door will ''not'' stop a bullet, and so in that scenario the door is concealment. The same goes even for (non-brick) walls {{Emdash}} the walls of modern residential buildings likely won't stop a bullet, and thus they are concealment.

Video games represent these things as cover because it is easy and is expected behavior. However, Arma does ''not'' follow this trend. Bullets can and ''will'' go through non-armored cars, (some) walls, and other kinds of material.

Cover should always be preferred to concealment when possible. Concealment is more-so used when staying on the move, or bounding, and access to cover is spotty. In a firefight, proper cover should be prioritized immediately.
