"one man one kit" you own your gear and are responsible for maintaining it, knowing exactly where it is at any moment, and if it fails because you didn't take care of it, it's your fault. Plus, reduces cognitive load when you know your kit like the back of your hand, in stressful situations. It's your kit and you don't lend it to others, also. Otherwise you compromise your safety.

- tialaramex 8y agoThere's an RAF anecdote related to this in Most Secret War, in which the officer asserts that his unit is more effective than other similar units because it still assigns each specific crew to a specific plane, and so knowing "their" plane they are willing to fly it despite minor problems that in other units would cause it be taken out of service for repair. I don't have the book with me, maybe somebody else will remember and dig out the quote.
