There are certainly less physical requirements in a defensive setting than an offensive one, but I'll point out that the 400 pound man (or other unfit people) will possibly have health related issues pop up in high stress situations. Not saying turn that 400 pound man away, just saying a separation may be needed first in training (limits advancement of the group if training to a very low denominator) and in any kind of offensive engagement. In the meantime, maybe nudge the unfit to take fitness seriously.

Everything is mission specific. You pick the best crew to do the job that needs to be done. You don't put all your eggs in one basket. Leadership is also something EVERYONE has to train for. When you are planning FTX'S rotate the leadership around. ie; Sam plans and runs the August FTX, George plans and runs the Sept. FTX, etc etc.. That does a few things, it gets folks out of the comfortable zone and builds confidence, it also gives the Acting Team Leader to sit back and access individuals in the hot seat.

Not everything is mission specific. Most training is done with generalities in mind. Boot camp in the military isn't towards a specific mission. Nor advanced infantry training.
The military has fitness and marksmanship standards for a reason. With a relatively loose organization and lower participation rates, obviously it's not in anyone's interest to have those standards for involvement, but it makes sense to set standards for a more "infantry styled" sub group.

Everything in the selection process of your "special teams" is mission specific. As I mentioned in my first post, Everybody trains in everything. Your "Best Shot" needs to be able to handle feeding the crew and handling camp hygiene. Your camp Cook needs to be able to hit what he or she aims at. Everyone needs to learn how to run an exercise/operation.
Results from regular training settles who goes where.
Lets go back to my "Tactical Carbine Course" example..
A good course is going all day. Those that physically cannot spend all day runnin and gunnin will drag the rest of the class down, BUT they need to know this stuff. We will call them the B Team for lack of a better word. They need to see what needs to be done and why it needs to be done, if possible, run them through things once. Then they get pulled to the side and they spend the rest of the day doing malfuction drills, various types of reloads, and rapidly engaging mutiple targets from a fixed position. Meanwhile, the "A Team" will continue on with the run and gun/shoot n scoot type of training.
Both are training with a firearm all day, but physical conditions/abilities will dictate mission capability in the future.

That's fair enough. As long as you're not trying to include them the whole time. That will hinder the "a" team. And it keeps With support/infantry philosophy

I got the design down for the generator but have to learn how to wire it correctly plus adapt the power box n voltage regulator so it won't burn up or short or anything while running How is a generator going to power itself? |

When u spin it to start it up to help generate the power u assist it for a couple of minutes after that it spins up to full speed n starts putting out more power while having one if the power out puts required to the input to first start it so after a few minute it generates it's self plus what ever ur powering

You can have an electrical generator that produces it's own magnetic field, rather than using permanent magnets (in fact, most large generators are designed this way). But you must provide an energy source for a generator to produce electricity. That requires sufficient power to turn the generator and overcome the Counter-ElectroMagnetic Force which is caused by current flow through the generator coils, and any increase in generator loading increases the CEMF. A generator cannot, by the laws of physics, generate power without an external source. |

Yes it's a electric motor running a wind turbine alternator running off that power sorry forgot to add that detail the shaft from the motor had to be extended to reach the full length required to fit properly in to the housing of the wind turbine alternator correctly

The voltage regulator is going to used for the speed slowly turning up the voltage helps protect the alternator from burning out its a work in progress not yet perfected but it's a step to supplying my own power vs paying for it
