These are the maps/diagrams that I have created (mentioned in THIS POST). I will add them to the hardcopy and kindle books and republish them. I’ll post when that is completed. Patrol Base Contact:   Harrisonburg:     Apache FOB Raid:     Battle of Zulu-Delta:           Comments/Feedback welcome. Live […]

I was talking to a gentleman over the weekend, who has read Patriot Dawn. Although he gave me very good feedback, it brought home to me that I will never be free of the grammar, in particular the comma, Nazis. He also mentioned that he would’ve liked some diagrams to explain some of the battles […]

After all the recent talk about rucks and gear in general, I think you will be useful to discuss the rationale, the options, and the factors behind how you build your load out. There are lots of ways and means of doing this. Some of the confusion arises because people have simply not taken the […]

Introduction to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) Some of this is straight from US Army 68W Combat Medical protocols, some of it is at the CLS (Combat Lifesaver) level, and there is a bit of opinion thrown in there too…..it is partly excerpted from the chapter in ‘Contact!: A Tactical manual for Post Collapse Survival‘ on casualties. […]

I finally figured out how to add TC3 to the schedule. I am simply going to add a TC3 class on the Friday prior to a number of the CRCD classes. This is voluntary and will have an added fee. You can attend it if you are on the CRCD that weekend, or you can […]

The March 29/30 class just filled up. There has been some really positive booking activity for the classes from March thru June. The March 15/16 class has enough bookings to make sure it runs, but there are some spaces left on it.   Remember if you already did  a CRCD, you come back at 25% […]

The combat rifle/contact drills (CRCD) class has now been running since I opened the Max Velocity Tactical school in May 2013. Since then, I have made significant improvements to the ranges and added the Combat Patrol class. The CRCD curriculum has now settled down into a standard class. I’m writing this post because I think […]

If you check out my Class Schedule, you will see that I have added a number of 5 Day Combined Classes, combining CRCD with Combat Patrol. I have added a couple of variations to the schedule: having the class run Saturday thru Wednesday, or putting the five days on weekdays (Monday thru Friday) with the […]
