A Trainers Journey: Training the Armed Civilian
I’m just back from a 6 (7) day combined Combat Team Tactics & Combat Patrol Class. I’m back in my office exhausted: these classes take a toll on the cadre due to the amount of ourselves that we put into them. It is always very interesting to sit in the AAR at the end and […]
Student Review: Citizen Close Combat (C3) Sept 26-27: JARG
