You make me giggle. What has the SOPs of the 70s and 80s got to do with the 21st (repeat 21st) century.
Use your grey matter on this one. TRAIN AS YOU EXPECT TO FIGHT. When we expected to fight in EMCON silence we would all train in EMCON silence (and make very few mistakes - which is what training is about). Don't know of any sane person that expects to fight in EMCON silence these days - L16 would be more of waste than the Merlin. Ever heard of a PPLI? It's useful for CID.
Are the Lynx community still training to find Krivaks using Orange Crop? NO (so I am told).
