2 Man team movement drill

[chtheo]

Did some 2 man team movement drills today with my training partner Josh Ward. This is one we got on camera. Moving from point A to point B while providing cover.

Any feedback from the experts of INGO would be appreciated.

Thanks guys...

Depends on what you want to work on but;

Recommendations: use of more simulated cover, movement communication, incorporate shooting drills rather than just single sporadic rounds, shoot on the move/ covering fire during movement

Thanks Kidd,

We were communicating during movement, just not verbally.

Good call with incorporating shooting drills. We do need more cover, but you don't always have it.

Thanks for the feedback. And Semper Fi brother

Thats a good start. You are learning to move past each other in a safe manner while communicating. Not sure if it was you or Josh in the one instance that got caught out in the open needing to reload. You were receiving covering fire from your partner, and were already getting ready to move, so work on reloading while you move.

In the future you can use points of cover and fire from your partner to advance on your objective and orderly retreat from it. You will do more of this in the advanced rifle class, plus I plan on doing some team tactics stuff when we do the training group after the one coming up. (No date on that one yet.)

Yeah, you guys need to come grin into the camera so we know who is who.
I was about to make a snide comment about Josh that I was afraid to say for fear of insulting chtheo.

You are crowding your cover, move back.

Move when you are changing mags, standing not firing = target.

Bound forward and back to retrieve downed man and apply TQ.

Keep up the good work.

First off. Nice job. Good solid training and I am so glad you guys are out there working on team tactics and communication. Just made my day. Awesome.

Excellent job on your partner switching shoulders depending on his use of cover. Also how he heeded your request for coverfire when you had to reload. He stopped on a dime and got his gun in the fight.

Minor points: Don't hump your cover. Sometimes you did, sometimes you did not. I realize situations will dictate. Just be mindful.

If you pop out on the left side of cover then reload, don't pop back up in the same place, either change level or switch sides.

Work at not looking down at your gear and weapon when reloading. That combined with popping back out in the same place is what gets you killed in a fight. You should know where everything is and where it goes without looking, just like you do for sexy time with your woman. This allows you to keep your eyes towards the threat and or on a swivel.

When out in the open and reloading, move those feet. Don't stand still. You will get ventilated.

Good job guys. Keep at it!

When I have sexy time with my woman, I have to keep my eyes on her at all times. She is the threat.

 

[chtheo]

Guys, thanks for the solid feedback. Great stuff.

I'm ready to get back out so I can work on those issues!

In addition to what's been said, I think mag. retention is important (at least if you're reloading behind cover), and the rate of fire seemed slow for the distance to the 'threat' JMO.
You might work in some tactical relevance, doing that drill either leapfroging forward--or retreating--from the targets.
+1 for getting out in the cold to practice
