Explanation: 0:01: Patrol is moving in a column (file ) formation. 0:04: 'Contact Front!' Point man conducts the RTR Drill, everyone else conducts the TR drill. Patrol deploys on line, alpha team on the left, bravo team on the right. 0:07: Patrol begins to break contact to the rear, moving in alpha and bravo teams by bounds. 0:40: The creek in the illustration signifies that contact is broken and the patrol rallies, to signify that they have broken contact 'over a terrain feature.' Normally, that would be the end of the drill, accountability would be taken and the patrol would 'bug out.' 0:47: Enemy follows up aggressively. The rally point also functions as a hasty ambush, which is triggered. 0:52: In this example, once the ambush has gained fire superiority, the patrol decides to peel out to the right along the creek bed, utilizing a 'peel right' maneuver. ______ MVT Tactical Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Manual-Small-Unit-Tactics/dp/1536876003 MVT Home: https://maxvelocitytactical.com/ Max Velocity Tactical (MVT) has established a reputation on the leading edge of tactical live fire and force on force training.

Footage from a dawn ambush, from a few years ago in Texas on a HEAT 2 Combat Patrol class. The exercise involved an overnight patrol, patrol base, and occupation of the ambush position prior to daylight. There are several ways to run a linear ambush; in this case, this was an 'attack by fire' without an assault into the ambush killing area. Targets are electronic pop up targets, to simulate enemy initially into the kill zone, and to trigger 'watch and shoot' from the ambush. Can anyone spot the difference in the withdrawal portion between how I usually teach it? ________ MVT Tactical Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Manual-Small-Unit-Tactics/dp/1536876003 MVT Home: https://maxvelocitytactical.com/ Max Velocity Tactical (MVT) has established a reputation on the leading edge of tactical live fire and force on force training.

Filmed from a drone and on the ground, this footage gives a good introduction to a 3 team squad hasty attack, with an initial enemy position and depth position. The Texas class is an annual alumni class in February / March. In terms of the ground used in this video, it takes place on a working ranch, and there are directions in which we cannot shoot. Hence the use of left flanking in the assault. Range limitations. Additionally, the point team patrolling down the hill towards the initial enemy fighting positions was done deliberately, so that they could practice a break contact back up onto the hill. There are many things a squad leader could have done if this situation was for real, and these options are talked about at class. The training priority was to run a sequencing attack against two enemy positions, and the lack of cover / concealment is useful from an overall student learning and understanding perspective. ________ MVT Tactical Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Manual-Small-Unit-Tactics/dp/1536876003 MVT Home: https://maxvelocitytactical.com/ Max Velocity Tactical (MVT) has established a reputation on the leading edge of tactical live fire and force on force training.

It is vital to understand how to react to effective enemy fire, but to do so in a way where you do not endanger your buddies or bystanders. It's not good enough to be able to shoot fast, you have to be able to target discriminate and implement safety angles between you and members of your team. This video is an explanation of the problems of fratricide, safety angles, and a suggested drill to help you train. Do not confuse tactical cool-guy shooting with real tactical context.
