CRCD Video

Its been a while. I know. I am working on a few things related to gear. I have been in the process of updating my battle belt and getting it squared away. I will have something fairly soon (I hope) that will make for some cool videos to post.

Anyhow, if you haven't taken one of Max Velocity's CRCD courses, you need to. It was one of the few classes of its kind being taught to us peasants. The instruction is top notch and the material is the best I have ever trained. If you want to know more or see what you're getting yourself into, check out the video below. It can also be seen on Max's site.

It was only a matter of time. When will they come to our homes looking for "illegal guns"?

Gweru Airport - MVT

Max has a new thing he is running through his blog. It gives the readers a scenario and he then asks us to create a solution or plan of action. His original post can be read here.

I decided to give it a go. Having no military experience whatsoever, this is what I came up with:

Here are my thoughts. Perhaps I’ve seen too many war movies but I thought a lower profile infiltration team might be a little better than busting thru the gates guns blazing.

8 teams total. 28 Men total
Team #1               4 men, 2 IEDs each

Team #2               4 men – security/support

Team #3               3 men – Mortar Team – 5 rounds HE, target: Barracks

Team #4               3 men – Mortar Team – 5 rounds HE, 1 round WP, Primary: Admin,
secondary: fuel tanks

Team #5 and #6 – (2) 2 man teams QRF/Exfil- 4 total

Land Rover Teams (Driver, Gunner w/ DSHK)
Space for 5 additional personnel each

Team #7 and #8 QRF/Exfil teams – (2) 5 man teams – 10 total

Land Rover Teams (Driver, Rear Gunner w/ DSHK, 5 in back with AK47s
Space for 2 additional personnel each



Attack – Set for 0200

Team #1 will infiltrate on foot at 0200 from the northwest thru tree line then locate aircraft, place explosives and exfil on foot to pick-up location. Team #2 will provide rear security and support for Team #1, both teams wait at pick-up point, charges are then blown – Team #1 and #2 wait for pick-up at tree line. This will signal the motor teams #3 & 4to fire their HE rounds targeting enemy barracks and admin buildings and the WP round on fuel tanks. Once rounds are complete, Team #3 and 4 will exfil on foot.

QRF/Exfil Teams #5 and #6 will pick up Team #1 and #2 at rally point as mortar attack begins and proceed to secondary pick-up location for teams #3 & #4. After mortar rounds are complete and fuel tanks have been destroyed/ignited by WP round, Team #3 & #4 will exfil on foot to secondary pick-up location off map. Team #7 and #8 QRF/Exfil teams will pick-up mortar teams while en route to FreeFor base.

 Let me know what you think.
