While not really in the military theme, it sort of fits: When in the Arctic and a polar bear attacks, you do not have to outrun the polar bear, you only have to outrun your friend.

I saw a poster at least twenty years ago with most of those and more, titled Murphy's Laws Of Combat.

Old stuff, unquestionably written as a joke (though like most things Murphy-related, funny because there's a grain of truth there).

There are dozens more pages like that one - it just had more of them than most.

Ah, so it was just one poster that I saw.
