I work for a vegas company that does this type of training scenes for the gov.and individuals.it's called CRItraining.com
Other than "interesting" what were your personal thoughts and views of how SF did in the training? Anything that you think they could have done better?
poor prep.some of them didn't bring water,they staged too far away.they got their truck stuck because some of them had no offroad training???!!! they wern't really ready for a ambush when they realized we were bugging out but they did pull it off.they were undetected by us during their scouting but were countered by us pointing our vehicles outward in a circle with high beams on to illuminate them in any attack.they didn't attack us because they realized they would have been eliminated. The SF people learned a few things that they will have to train more on but all in all they did quite well.
I'm sorta surprised you got ambushed on the road. Operational directions to the contrary, I think I might have looked for another way out. I KNOW (other organizations) would seek and scout. I am genuinely puzzled. Were these guys still in SF school, or was it a real scenario with fully trained SF? You said it was a training exercise, but I can't tell if it was for troops still in basics or if it was strategic.
there was only one way out(a plateau in the mountains north of vegas on the extraterrestrial highway) they were full on blanket heads from ft.bragg.they had a RPV with them but it was unusable for some reason so they prepped using google maps and sat views. this was training before they deployed to irag or afghanistan.
can say much for them getting stuck. even the most experienced driver gets stuck.i been mud riding in the swamps for over 30 years and i know how to drive in the mud but hey i get stuck all the time. but man it sounds like you got one nice job.
