From the MVT FORUM: I saw more weapons go down this past CTT class than I have seen in a long time. We had popped primers, no lube, not enough lube, wrong lube (grease), carbon build up in the chamber that kept the weapon from going into battery and one case of a carbine buffer […]

Student Review August CTT By Gatlinggun I had wanted to attend a Combat Team Tactics (CTT) class for some time and in August 2015 it finally happened. I arrived in theater on Thursday and got settled into the Koolwink.  As I arrived at the motel there were several “military age males” loitering in the parking […]

I recently posted about ‘Normalcy Bias‘ and put a copy of the post up on the MVT Forum. As usual, Diz hit the nail on the head with a comment: I’ve been thinking about this all morning. I really think you need to make the distinction between “conventional” crime or violence, and “unconventional” crime or violence. […]

I have been asked frequently recently, from various sources, about the composition of the ‘MVT Lite Battle Belt (BB).’ First, off, this is not an MVT gear product, this is something you would need to make up yourself.

  Above: Lee (right) instructing High Threat Room Entry & Clearance WoW! Another weekend and MVT training and another 8 hour drive after training. That stretch of I 81 is definitely getting longer. I’ve done Combat Team Tactics (CTT) twice, Combat Patrol and the MVT Rifleman Challenge in the past two years. I have also […]

I had the pleasure of attending another of Max’s great courses, but to make it even better I was able to bring my 17 year old grandson.    On the drive up to MVT he confided in me that he was a little concerned; all the other students would know what they were doing and he […]

Max Velocity Tactical’s Combat Team Tactics (CTT) is three days, in a 100-acre training area in the rugged terrain of West Virginia.  The first day is on a “square” range, the other two days are out in the training area (see description below). General notes:  The instructors are quite experienced, with decades of time spent […]

The Combat Team Tactics (CTT) weekend was three days of heat, humidity and hard work.   I was really glad to get home and sink into the sofa with a rum & tonic, and watch a treasure hunting program on the discovery channel (that’s how pirates relax).  The team leader on the treasure hunt expedition was […]

  This was my 3rd class at MVT and my second Combat Team Tactics (CTT). I won’t go into great detail about what was taught by Max and First Sergeant. I will instead focus on the “take-aways” I learned. Having only taken this course a few months ago, the class itself did not differ much but what […]
