Lay out four colored objects, call the LED and sequence, then answer with both target color and ordinal position. Change the order after every repetition. Keep the exercise outside a serious Campaign attempt until every role can finish without inventing vocabulary. Then add a timer and one deliberate interruption. Rehearse the full BOMBANANA recovery: hands off, identify the break, declare stability, restart at “Cable,” and collect current fields. Use “hands off” as a state-control command, not criticism. Neutral language makes it easier to stop a nearly completed action when the evidence changes.
Measure packet accuracy before raw speed. Count missing fields, ambiguous positions, premature actions, and failed confirmations; only shorten pauses after the packet is reliable. Rotate BOMBANANA roles so everyone experiences observation, manual search, relay translation, and physical execution. Change one variable between drills—role assignment, panel position, or interruption timing—so the team learns the protocol instead of memorizing one performance. Shared understanding is more useful than one player memorizing a table.
