Dear All,
I thought I would post this thread simply because their was a bit of discussion started by Justin's thread. I figured out due to respect to all that were posting on his thread, I would place this info for those who are not sure where to begin. My information comes from my military experience in training and real ops. I've been retired for a bit, I am sure their has been some changes in how the U.S. military now approach things on the ever-changing battlefield, so I will not be surprised if some of our younger members (who have experience also, may chime in or from the law enforcement professionals). In no way is this post meant to trump U.S. military doctrine.
Lastly, I am not here to change peoples attitudes how you plan to train. This is not a discussion blog for me, so I am not going to answer anything that say's their opinion is counter, that your constitutional right and the way you want to live. If you don't think that is the case, my family has not thought highly of my efforts, so they only get the basics, like shadow, I am just trying her to hold a pellet gun, so she knows how safely to handle a weapon, know how to stand, etc...that's pretty much what I thought Shadow was trying to accomplish. Maybe I am wrong, but Shadow, since your in Texas, anytime you want to grab a cup of coffee this summer, lol, maybe on my way to see JimLE.
Justin asked, I saw some good posts. So here is what we did, four of our team members have combat experience, two others have been in combat support roles, so they are familiar with small unit tactics and our lone law enforcement professional has years of being on special tactics teams and worked with state/federal law enforcement agencies. We all train as team leaders, instructors and evaluators. This makes it simple for changing heads and helps our team train if we have to bug out. As I have said in another post, we have fire teams, a recon team, and H/S team (Command and Control). You can see that we have a mixed influence because of Army, Marine and Air Force influence. Sorry Navy, we haven't been able to recruit a SEAL, but were working on that one.
So I realized the post was just going to be to long. So I made a word document up that covers just the basics. I encourage most not to take my document as gospel, seek manuals and real life experts...their are tons now since we are winding down with Afghanistan and Iraq. Honestly, one of my guys that did several tours in those area, well I just shut up and listen. Since he is not in town this week, I didn't have time to run the doc by him. He's not much into discussing when he is on the golf vacation. So I am sure, when I show him my doc, he is going to rip it for sure. So if you've got a comment or two..go ahead, I've got my granny panties on. Oh, if your critiquing because of format or grammar...really, I told my editor to take the week off, lol.
