Haven't been to any 24 hr milsims yet but here's what I did in the military for those long durations (month long) in the field.
The guys above got pretty much all of it, just a few things to add. Depending on weather, you want to be a little bit cold to compensate for when you do start moving again. Get pocket warmers during colder weather and for at night. No need to bring a ruck with you, patrol packs were made for a few hours at a time journeys. Keep some of those small little salt packets you get at diners and what bor, one of those for 1 quart of water for salt, on top of your hydration carrier. Get some of those small sticks of drink mixers, I always find they helped. You don't need to wear your helmet 24/7, sometimes a Bush cap or a baseball cap will do fine. The biggest thing is, every chance you get, sit your ass down to take the strain off of your torso and what not from your plate carriers and what not. Don't be afraid to put your rifle down beside you when you need to.
