Good advice with one exception. During WWII soldiers were instructed to run in a zig zag pattern for the reasons stated in the op's post.
In my time, we were instructed to just run diagonally because running in a zig zag fashion kept you in the sights of the shooter for a longer time.
I have no idea what the military advises now.
