This is the need for structure that is getting handled. On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 3:27 PM, Joe <virtualadonis@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: All this is good stuff. However not everyone is reading or paying attention to this. All of this should be discussed in a meeting and what is agreed on then put out to the people. Thus the need for structure we will all be on the same page.

To include minimum field gear (See WRAM posted gear list). Firearm and target ammo. Clothing appropriate to conditions. Head gear, body armor, load carry equipment, field knife ect. Not all items will always be used, but this will prevent people missing out on training because they didn't bring gear. Comms: 1 radio (of the agreed style and system) per 2 persons should be brought to all outdoor operations. Radios should be charged and in working order. Medic: EVERYONE shall bring a personal first aid kit. At least 2 "squad" level 1st aid kits should be present. 1 carried by the designated medic. 1 as a backup. Procedure: Personnel shall meet at agreed time in agreed muster point. Head count shall be taken and radios/ medical equipment/ other equipment handed out as needed. Movement to training area should be done as an organized march, Either as a file (esp if in public view) or in wedge patrol formation. When training area is reached group shall fan out and sweep area and set up 360 security before conducting training. NON group movement should be done in buddy teams for safety and tactical reasons. No one should ever go anywhere alone. Training block: Training should be laid out in advance if particular equipment is required. Rappelling gear, tools, camp gear, flash lights, paintball guns etc. Training blocks should be organized in a "crawl" basic info "walk" very basic practice "run" full speed blocks for safety and ease of under standing. ABOVE all safety should be a top priority of all training. NO illegal activities should ever be advocated by training. Instruction should be conducted without interruption for efficiency, instructors should however pause as often as is practical, to allow for questions. At each field training op it would be optimal to conduct 3 blocks of training. Each block should, be integrally related to one another if at all possible. Security: For practice at field exercises during instruction 2 members should be providing simulated over watch. This should rotate, through buddy teams in blocks of time evenly distributed through the buddy teams. Unless other wise designated. Breaks: for water/ bathroom/ ect should be offered approx every hour. Mid day a field kitchen should be set up in some manner and field cooking/ mess should be conducted in "bug out mode" if at all possible. Attention should be paid to not giving away location by noise, smoke, waste ect while cooking if at all possible. At conclusion of training block personnel should discuss training and relevant issues to the general group, but security should be continued through the duration of the operation for training purposes. Location sec should also be attempted to be kept through noise, light, smoke discipline whenever possible. close of training: The area should be policed for any and all garbage or items that would violate OPSEC. Extraction and egress from training area should follow the same procedures as entry. Borrowed equipment should be returned to owner or to group supply. LACE (Liquid Ammo Casualty Equipment) report should be verbally taken for future reference as to set up parameters of supply needs, individual hazards equipment needs ans the like. Head count should again be taken before dismissal of personnel. AAR: At least 1 after action report should be generated for each Field training operation by at least 1 designated participant and any other person who wishes to write one. Basic summary of the activities, problems encountered, solutions found, any other events of significance should be noted. 3 things to sustain and 3 things to improve should be submitted. The report(s)should be reviewed at the next planning meeting (non field meeting). Format should follow previous ex if possible. Discuss adjust as yall wish. That's what i can come up with with a sleeping baby on me. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 3.0 wpwEAQMCAAYFAk16i5wACgkQWHaGynxctwje1gP/dw4bezsHjUr2FuAnLHbTBWdfAJOd FKO3H5esAU7fT+CHwlpxHoI7d5vwElXAfkmbh4OKIMPg4aBVhB/oKCNDk6ocQmv1ds3Z EUO4gYptq7DrqTj//k+GxigjBiELjC2zD5BCjfgGuCgcjy2rkMBDJEro2R18Hb6ZDMvJ tLwUSdI= =m+VS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- -- Kevin J ==================== “Far Better it is to Dare Mighty Things than to take rank with those poor, timid spirits Who know Neither Victory nor Defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt "I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins.
