Army Writes New Manual on Preventing Civilian Deaths
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Training, Warriors on 14/Jun/2011 20:46
“Danger Room has learned that an official with the Army’s Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, Dwight Raymond, is drafting a manual on preventing civilian casualties. The manual, formally known as Army Tactics Techniques and Procedures 3-37.11, will provide practical advice for officers attempting to balance the difficulties of battling a shadowy insurgency while keeping civilians out of harm’s way. No such manual has ever existed before in the Army, or indeed across the entire military. Raymond anticipates publication by January 2012.
“If you have a short-term, short-sighted approach to conducting operations, and you try achieve mission success and you’re haphazard in terms of causing civilian casualties, that over long term jeopardizes your ability to accomplish the mission,†Raymond tells Danger Room. “That’s the key point.â€
Does leaving your magazines loaded hurt them?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Magazines, Maintenance, News, Training, Warrior Tools on 12/Jun/2011 16:38
“The accepted wisdom seems to be that leaving magazines loaded does not hurt the magazine spring. The loss of stiffness comes from cycling the magazine springs. This has always made sense and seemed to agree with most of my engineering classes. Creep is a material property that you see most often in plastics and with modern heat treating should be pretty much none existent in good spring steels. Well this small experiment seems to point to the possibility of other conclusions:”
U.S. Army Orders Virtual Reality Training for Soldiers
Posted by Gary in News, Training, Training Tools, Warriors on 10/Jun/2011 08:23
From: InnovationNewsDaily
Instead of using wood and metal models, the soldier of the future will train in a virtual reality world that essentially mixes “Call of Duty” with “Star Trek’s” holodeck. Such immersion offers more flexibility compared to live training exercises based on physical mock-ups that can’t replicate the danger of live bullets or artillery explosions, said John Foster, assistant project manager for the U.S. Army’s Close Combat Tactical Trainer. It also delivers a more realistic training experience compared with the Army’s existing game simulations, where soldiers use a keyboard and a mouse on a computer.

“‘Dismounted Soldier’ is going to put the soldier in a virtual environment with a replica of his weapon in his hands, so that he can go through all the same motions as in real life,” Foster told InnovationNewsDaily.

ITS Tactical Hosts Lone Star Medics’ Medicine X Class
Lone Star Medics put on its 2-Day Medicine X Class at Quail Creek Shooting Range this weekend. This “medicine under fire” class features classroom instruction and scenario based live-fire drills where students have the opportunity to put what they have learned into action under the stress of simulated real-world situations. The event was hosted by ITS Tactical and co-sponsored by Lone Star Amory and XS Sights.
Above, instructor Andrew Brady demonstrates one possible solution to a problem presented class participants. Your buddy “Randy” , seen prostrate in the background, has been injured during a violent robbery. What do you do?
After neutralizing the immediate threats, ITS Tactical’s Bryan Black drags Randy off the “X” and behind cover.
A momentary lapse in tactical awareness earns this student a penalty, a gunshot wound to his left calf. Now he has two patients, Randy and himself.
Books and videos are great tools for learning but nothing can replace hands on adrenalin-packed live training, And just as important as the getting-your-hands-dirty part is the critical eye of an experienced “been there” instructor and the after action debrief.
For more information on classes contact Caleb Causey at Lone Star Medics.
