Hi Riggs, sory for the late reply !
So a small summary of what we did :
Once everyone arrived, we began with the official briefing and preparation.
each team worked out their own navigation routes, with the help of an instructor.
Pressure was high as we ran out of time, so the teams had to improvise their routes and work hard to get in time to the starting LZ.
in 01:15, clear sky, nice moon but strong wind blows, we got to the dark LZ and divided into
two lines, simulating the seating order in an CH47.
We exited the imaginary CH47, with two 360's, and continued in quiet to our next objectives, as planned.
The entire night was just beautiful, cold, strong wind blows,wet and icey a bit...
but a beautiful clear sky and a setting moon.
The entire night we navigated and climbed a long ridge, the higher we climbed - the more snow and ice we experienced.
After and over walk of over 21km we finally reached (after over due) the breakfast point,
we set in 360, did a small recon and allowed the guys to rest.
After that we assaulted the compound, and so on.
The rest is basically a repeat of that, including an Extra night raid we simulated,
which was a bit more into the CQB direction - but still everyone had fun and learned a lot.
We did Medevac 9Liner simulation, we worked on the shifting situation from Green side to CQB and other simulation, all in all -
it was hell of a time, and also hell of a lesson for everyone !
Hope to maybe see u in a seminar next time riggs !
