Thanks to Paul W for creating this. It uses photos from past CRCD classes, and video footage that Paul shot at the March 15/16 CRCD. The bunker busting scenes are from the squad hasty attack on the Sunday afternoon, the final event of the class. Next on the agenda: scenes from the Combat Patrol Class, set […]

So, what did you do on your vacation? I decided to leave the warmth of the Sunshine State and trek up to the rainy and snowy backwoods of West Virginia. Why you ask? To move beyond the square range. Being a reader of Max’s website, I decided to take his TC3 & CRCD classes. The […]

Observations for my notes over the weekend… Travel to site- It was a long round trip. I tried to stay low profile as possible. The weather did cooperate with no icy conditions encountered. I will post more in the traveling thread. Hotel- Stayed at the Koolwink Friday night, camped on Saturday, and back to Koolwink […]

It’s some sort of game of musical chairs around here. I just filled the 3 slots that came available due to reschedules by students, and now a group of 3 has moved from the May 31 – June 1 CRCD to the August 16-17 CRCD. I’ll have to get someone to do my admin if […]

  Above: CRCD 29/30 March 2014 I have updated the gear list for Combat Rifle/Contact Drills (CRCD) (which applies to all other classes as well). The change is to reflect a new policy for battle rifles. I simply hope the wording nails it: Fighting Rifle: a semi-automatic battle rifle utilizing detachable magazines of minimum 20 round capacity. AR/AK type platforms are […]

I was showing the April 26.27 and June 21/22 CRCD Classes as full on the Class Schedule.

  He’s not a happy man. What will it be today? Sucking chest wound? Massive Hemorrhage? Airway obstruction? What are the three main preventable causes of death on the battlefield? Ask Phil.
