In May, the team and I will be playing a large mil sim and today we had our first outdoor training session.  We practiced CQB at the Belleville Craig Complex Hospital, while the May game will be a field game practicing CQB builds team relationships and dynamic.  At first the Task Force Battle Group (the platoon under my command) struggled with clearing rooms, angles and aggression but as the day progressed, the guys started to gel and did quite well.  As the “point of the spear”, TFBG suffered the most casualties with the last mission but then again we had the most of the engagements.  I think between the various teams on my side (AFO, TFBG & QRF) we’ll need better comms, that was pretty obvious at the end when I asked AFO to sweep the rooms on the left.  They did not advance as quickly as my guys and we got cut down by Jason who was in a good position.

Still the day went well and even though I didn’t fire many shots I still had a good time. 🙂

Heh in between missions we took a team picture. On March 26th I’ll be hosting a training session for the TFBG (though everyone is welcome) and we’ll practice section movement, radio comms & map reading/relaying coordinates.  Woo this will be something special for sure.  For the time being this post is private, after the game I’ll make all the posts public, don’t want op-for to read my thoughts. 😉
