The Class: Where do I start? Attending Combat Patrol was the best money I’ve ever spent on a weekend activity. What an incredible weekend! I attended this course with my oldest brother and another friend of ours while my wife ad sister-in-law attended CR. This course is extremely valuable in so many ways it’s hard […]

I attended the October 2014 Combat Team Tactics (CTT) class. When I signed up for the three days of training it was at the time designated as RMP/CRCD (Rifle Manipulation Primer/Combat Rifle Combat Drills). RMP/CRCD have since been combined into one three day class, CTT. The CTT class as it is now structured, provides the […]

After that, I don’t have a Combat Patrol […]

Of course, it’s not enough to just read the book, you need to get some Tactical […]

Fred did a great talk on the Sunday morning. Fred is a CBRN expert and runs a concurrent activity talk while the […]
