Tactical Tuesday

After a mandatory (and extremely boring) briefing on the Law of Warfare, we road marched out to the urban operations village built out on a remote part of the base. We had a rousing time kicking down doors and learning to clear rooms, eliminate resistance or take prisoners, team movement from building to building, entry control point procedures, processing an enemy combatant from initial take down to placement into transport to a detention or medical facility.

Tomorrow will be Convoy Day! We have been given our operation order for 7 vehicles, heavy weapons, patrol route, air support from a either a Blackhawk or Apache helicoptor, med evac procedures, and much more. We will have to drive the route, respond to roadside bombs, ambushes, obstacles, maintain accountability of our teams and med evac the simulated wounded. Should be total fur ball of confusion, educational, but a lot of fun!

No pictures today...battery failure. Will try to get pix from someone else soon.
