Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 25
There is cause to believe that we can train warriors to break out of tunnel vision by having them scan and breathe after taking a shot. Physically turning the head and scanning the battlefield after an engagement seems to cause tunnel vision to diminish. Even if the warrior stayed in tunnel vision, turning his head permits him to see additional threats, like scanning with a flashlight beam. ... By having individuals scan and breathe on the range every time after every engagement, the procedure soon becomes a valuable and automatic conditioned response.
