It means "Contingency Plan of Action Format". I´ve taken it years ago from the FM 21-76. Not sure if it´s still in use but I´ve found it very usefull for me.

Take any maps or local gudes you can find in your area BEFORE you go) with you and supliment them asap when you get there. You never know what maps you might find when you get there. A GPS and a good compass goes well with the maps.

My PSK goes with me or as much of it that is legal to transport or have with me. Can't take a knife or blade, lighter or matches; ect with you on the plane, buy some when you get there. Even a cheap pocket knife you can toss later when leaving, us better than NO KNIFE. Same for fire makers I adjust my EDC and PSK for the area I am going to be in.

Perhaps the single greatest piece of recon for another area is someone who's already been there and taken extensive video footage with narrative.
