Damn brother your spot on. The most boring job I had in the army was doing operations in a combat zone. However, I knew it had to be done as it was the "keystone" to mission accomplishment or failure.
That is why the team leader ALWAYS is checking the supply of ammo, water and food on the team especially ammo during a firefight. Most teams train to let their team led know the status of their ammo, GREEN [GOOD], YELLOW [HALF EMPTY] BLACK [OUT]. The latter is not what you want to be calling out.
Those same colors are used for status of water and food as well.
Most dont like operations because 1 it is boring 2. It means they actually have to do mental work. In operations one had to be able to make snap decisions on what information they have, to being able to "think outside the box", i.e. foresee or anticipate potential problems that might arise and make contingency plans for those potential problems. And 3. They have to be able to make split second decision on the fly with very little to no warning and how to make that ball get rolling to the contingency plans into action to rectify or better yet prevent those problems starting or getting larger and out of hand
