Something that often comes up, and which I include at a basic level in the instruction at CRCD/Combat Patrol, is target indication: One of the hardest parts of your battle drills is location of the enemy. This applies to any reaction to contact that you may conduct, whether it is a break contact drill, or […]

I won’t bore you with every detail of what happened in the CRCD class 29-30 March because you can read all the other AARs out there to get the nitty gritty details. I will share some of the things I took away. This was my fourth class in tactics. After going to many tactical rifle […]

Getting ready for TC3 class this Friday followed by CRCD at the weekend. Phil is keeping my seat warm. Till Valhalla! Max

  There was a muted amount of griping on the last (first) Combat Patrol Class, about the slight slope that students had to sleep on in the Lay Up Position (LUP). If you review this post ‘Patrol Class: LUP vs. Patrol Base’ you will be able to see the rationale of why I decided to break […]

AAR TC3 3/14/14 Having never been in any type of military service due to physical injury, this class and the information covered was totally new to me. In truth, the addition of this class was the final inducement needed to insure my enrollment in Max’s CCRD course. Of course like most things you can get […]
