What does “taking care of your own six” mean?

What does the phrase "taking care of your own six" mean? I've heard it used in conversations but am unsure about its origin or context. Could someone explain its meaning and provide examples of how it’s typically used?

Your ‘six’ is your back. A common expression in the military is, "I’ve got your six," which means "I’m watching your back."

So, ‘taking care of your own six’ means ‘watching your own back’, or ‘taking care of your own self.”
