when do SEALs put their helmet on?

Yet all 4 of them had helmets attached to their rucksacks... How thoroughly weird, no? Now that I've corrected your mistake, however, I'd like to know the answer too, because something tells me those helmets would have been incredibly useful when falling down a mountain, and possibly might have meant Axe didn't spend the last 20 minutes of his life with a bullet in his brain.

Agreed! I wondered about this too. Why take a helmet and not wear it??

Can anyone who read the book tell me if they had/wore helmets in real life?

Can't say in this case but I've heard it said that a helmet can either bump into something & the noise with give them away-and in other cases, a helmet can block your hearing. I don't know if during this op, maybe the surprise happened too fast for them to put them on.
