"Train as though you are going to fight, you fight like you train." Do you still use this proverb?

Train as though you are going to fight, you fight like you train.
I kept that in mind my entire career and I always trained my people to have that mindset.

I always trained with, "The best laid plans turn to shit at first contact." It always worked for me because it meant you had to do things over and over so even when things went south people knew their jobs and we were able to keep moving forward.

Train as you fight but then the Army would always throw a monkey wrench into the works when they deployed you and you didn't end up fighting as you trained.

I think it sounds pretty but as mentioned below, doesn't really work when put into practice. Just like most things in life, you can read all the books, view all the film and talk til you are blue in the face but once it turns real, you must change to the situation that you find yourself in.

There's truth in what you've said. It's also dependant on the type of warfare. Training to assault a shipboard space is different from a nuclear weapons release.

CPO Joseph Grant - I think it can be used in the civilian sector. Instead of training to be assault a spaceship or whatever, you train to complete your tasks. I know that within IT, it hardly ever goes as we plan but at least we have some sort of Plan B, Plan C, Plan D type of stuff in place.
