Training - Draft Group Topics
Administrative Topics
- Tiered Training: organizing all the training topics into tiers
- Training Tracker: tracking individual members and which trainings they have taken/passed
- Organized Fire Team/Squad: what would be intent/value in trying to "officially" organize the general group into formal fire teams and squads
- Communications: get more in-person radio and meshtastic/atak days in
- Convoys: with the reality of events seeing 4-8 dudes show up, can we even pull off convoy training
- Team Roles: do we really see the need/value in trying to define fire teams having specialized roles, vs everyone is a rifleman, and then calling out specialized. But do we specifically train for a medic, drone operator, rto
- Random Redditors: what is general group feeling on opening group up more, advertising, growing, establishing social media presence, etc. How to protect regular members from being doxed
- SUT: add additional offensive training (raids, squad attack) vs the mostly defensive, break contact, retreat
- Specialized Gear: L6/Fightlite belt feds, drones, mortars, launchers, smokes. Train or no?
- Warnord/opord - do we want to implement? Too overengineered? Teach how to do a by-the-book big army but simplify?
- Exclusivity? Some groups like oddg run selections, make it hard, filter out people. Likely greatly reduces group size, etc
- Comms - everyone CAN have a radio yes/no?
- Proposal 1 - yes, everyone acquire, setup, program a radio and train. But during patrol or team scenarios, ONLY tl/sl have them on, everyone else turns them off. Rotate through the roles so that everyone does get practice
- Add scenarios/drills where fire teams have to communicate between to give practice
- Comms - callsigns, individual vs structured? Currently individual
- Medical - (S)MARCH, Red Cross CPR, FIrst Aid, Wilderness survival paid training available through HAVOC
- Patrol - hand signals, fix night time versions
- Patrol - formations (file, stag column, diamond, Vee)
- Patrol - TL and SL positions, revisit on this
- Patrol - LDA, defined methods/ways to cross, post security
- Change up patrol to through the woods, bmx trail
- Patrol - LDA, what happens when you are setting up but then take contact ie non happy path, what do you do, where do you go
- Battle Drills (react to contact, getting on line, bounding, peeling, moving and shooting, covering your buddies)
- Patrol Base - scaled up and down (4 dudes or 12 dudes or 20 dudes)
- CQB - fundamentals, define what this
- CQB - Level 1 (past fundamentals?) or whatever second level
- Vehicle Escape - clean/dirty side, who gets out first, TL calling commands, getting TF out
- Medical - vehicle casevac with medical
- Rifleman Fundamentals - static on line, ready ups, reloads, stand/kneel/prone, contact facing
- Rifleman Level 2 - move and shoot, agility drills, sked litter drag and shoot, cardio
- Rifleman Level 3 - add team shit? Objective/scenario based?
- Fitness - oddg inspired fitness standards
- Online/group call classes?
- Comms - basic radio shit, programming murs, gmrs, repeaters, team channels
- Comms - meshtastic with atak (initial day done, need to schedule next after youtubing)
- Comms - data packets using rattlegram (android device with aprs)
- Drones - no clue what sub topics would be here, both offensive and defensive
- Force on force - define and structure, needs to be organized, not interested in turning into high school airsoft battle
- Security, guarding, checkpoints
- Night Fighting? Assuming nods, everything above, just in the dark?
- Vehicle / convoy (scaled up and down, maybe you dont want to be obvious or actual big convoy?)
- Vehicle - getting in and out, basic gear shake down, safely having a pistol and/or rifle, understanding what works and doesnt, (sob ifak, belt kit)
- Patrolling - setting up baselines, break down to most basic rules like sectors, dispersion, communication, light noise
- Every defense, attack, always simpler the plan, the less thinking, the more successful its been
- Firecrackers? Simulated contact. Blank fire adapters
- Three options for raids, ambushes
- Patrol base, location selection may be more important. Overhead concealment
- Thermal, drones, PNW with tons of threes, brush
- How to run a training event (e.g. adding AAR, agenda)
