The 'buddy system' is a critical safety and operational protocol designed to enhance personnel safety and effectiveness through mutual support. It is mandatory for All field operations because these environments often present unpredictable risks, requiring constant vigilance and immediate assistance. Having a partner ensures that no individual operates alone, providing an extra set of eyes and hands in potentially hazardous situations.
While teamwork is beneficial, making it mandatory for 'All office work' is generally not a safety requirement.
Limiting it to 'Only high-risk raids' overlooks the inherent risks in other field operations, where the buddy system is equally vital.
It is used in 'Training sessions only' to instill good practices, but its primary mandatory application is in actual operational scenarios for real-world safety.
