Extreme heat can be very dangerous and greatly impact our force. Don’t let heat stroke and exhaustion reduce operational readiness. In extreme heat and high humidity, it’s important to know the signs of heat injury and keep everyone safe. 
These are some of the preventive measures leaders can take to reduce the risk of serious heat illness:
•    Schedule high impact outdoor training during early morning hours.
•    Minimize outdoor scheduled training during hottest part of day.
•    Schedule work-to-rest periods in accordance with heat index. 
•    Ensure training areas are equipped with extra water, shaded break areas and sunscreen.
•    Alter uniform guidelines, such as unblousing boots and exchanging helmets for patrol caps.
•    Be attentive to the overall health of every service member.
