AAR  Combat Patrol Class May 2015 By Mike H First visit to West Virginia since CRCD in March 2014. Have a long haul to get there(over 1160 miles each way) but I’ll say the trip was worth it. Any eye opener to say the least. Coming there all this way and then forming up a […]

I’m getting this posted a lot later than I intended – so apologies for that. This was my second training attendance at MVT. My first training was Combat Rifle back in November, 2014 – I invite folks to go back in the student reviews to read my AAR on that course – there is a […]

Freemen: This post is a comment brought on by observations during the last Combat Patrol Class. It is not intended as a detailed dissertation on leadership, merely comment.

Special thanks to Ranger Chris for his contribution to the class and deep knowledge of cool movie quotes – and Fred for not seeing us […]

AAR CP 1502 The Combat Patrol Class is the culmination of all your other training.  This is where all the other pieces come together to form actual combat ops.  I’m sure lots of you have done training of one sort or another, but I doubt many of you have pushed it to this level of […]

AAR of Combat Team Tactics (CTT) 1505 I am going to have a hard time saying anything that Diz did not cover in his AAR from this class Diz Sayz His AAR covers the class progression really well. Me repeating that is not useful….. So I am going to do some inline comments. “Get your […]

I’m not going to cover the actual steps taken and items MVT teaches. There are many other AAR’s which do that better than I can. I plan on discussing the “take-aways” as I like to call them. Max and Lee, as others have stated, are very professional. When you get an ass chewing, you deserved […]
