I have been taking events that were suppose to be set in one chapter and started to split them up into several, small chapters. This doesn't exhaust the reader with long, drawn out chapters, and plus with war having been declared, murders abound, and our protagonists surrounded by enemies that make great suspects, it keeps the pace exciting to the extent of having the reader feel as if he or she is trapped within the events surrounding the protagonists.
Danger, Will Robinson. Danger.
