I'd offer a counter-point to the planning point. I don't know how the SEALs actually do it, but always planning extensively for anything that might possibly happen isn't necessarily a good idea. Another thing I heard from some military source I don't remember: A pretty good plan executed right now is better than a perfect plan executed next week. When time is a factor, you have to make the best decision you can with the information you have, and then go for it.
