    Objectives

    Land Navigation Intro (P- CPL Vandle, A- SPC Ivanov), 2IC Training/radio management (P- PV2 Franklin, A- SPC Winters), MAAWs/Stinger/UBL Training (P- SPC Ivanov, A- SPC Vandle), PID (P- CPL Vandle, A- N/A)

    Accidents

    None

    Areas of Strength

    PID went well. No civilians were killed, no friendlies were killed. Radio management and 1-up drills went very well during the live fire action and moving to higher position and channel control was very good as well. Attendance was very high today as well.

    Areas of Weakness

    MAAWs the entire squad needs to train more on shooting at moving targets. There was a struggle going through with hitting targets more then 200 meters away that were moving slowly. Land Navigation will be re-taught in 2 weeks. Some members did fine but others really struggled grasping basic land nav.

    Suggested Improvements

    Land nav will be retaught later in the month.

    Mission Summary

    Land Navigation- Went over map tools and how to read grids on the map. We concluded with teams rotating members around to land nav (without GPS) from point to point.

    MAAWs/Stinger/UBL- Weapons training was set up where a brief description of each weapon system. Afterwards we did target practice on stationary and then moving targets.

    2IC and Radio management- We hit on how to set up channels and alternate channels. Then we talked about how and when to jump up to your above level to pass reports and take control.

    PID- I laid out personnel from the enemy and friendly factions that we would generally see and talked over key points to determine whether someone or some equipment was friendly or enemy.

    Live Fire portion- The two teams split off to move to objectives and identify equipment and personnel in their assigned areas on whether they were friendly or not. During their movements the TL's made on spot calls to put team members in position to jump to the next level on the radio for reports and well as conduct land nav (without GPS) to the next point while a TL over watches. At the same time i would tell TL's to jump up into the SL spot as necessary to pass up reports (as if i was down at the time).

    Overall Sentiment
