Inshallah

Dismount!

Walking forward
Walking fast
Keeping your place
Left flank
Third from point
Wedge formation
Traveling overwatch
Walking….

Strangely calm
Scanning your sector
Rifle at the ready
Walking….

Remember
Positive target ID
Safety off
Aim center of mass
Squeeze, don’t jerk…
Walking….

Breathing
Go forward
Do your duty
It’s all in God’s hands
Inshallah….
