Your feet will make or break your selection. TC 31-2 is the complete guide to keeping them operational — boot selection and fit, six lacing techniques with a full troubleshooting guide, sock selection by foot type, the skin conditioning timeline that takes months and cannot be rushed, the benzoin protocol, the blister triad, hotspot identification and response, moleskin application, needle wicking and drainage, the field decision tree, and the field foot care kit in two versions — one for SFAS packing list compliance, one for everything else. The soldier who loses skin by day three is not unlucky. He is unprepared.
