After Action Report

Winter Training Event 2008

This four day event went well from several perspectives.

First, there was plenty of snow, forcing the event participants to Akia and sled-in all equipment and supplies for the weekend.

Upon reaching the training site, we found the cabin, wood shed, and most importantly the out-house buried under several feet of snow. After much digging, everything was made right and camp established.

Once again, we had the good fortune to have Mutti cooking, and no one lost any weight during this event (except those foolish enough to touch the raisins.)

We accomplished the following training: movement with cargo sleds (day), movement with cargo sleds (night), establish and maintain radio contact (with our new "period" radio sets), combat patrol (day), combat patrol (night), and establish a fighting position.

Night patrols happened after dark each day of the training event. In combination with the radios, we were able to assist some distressed parents trying to find their cabin site and their teenage children.

Much was learned. For example, there are some real tricks to not getting hit or dragged down by the Akias, and the knowledge gained will form a good base for future training.

Thank you again, to Greg Hader, Chuck "Mutti" and Jake "Stuka" for digging out the cabin.

Final note: If you have not been to the Hot Springs at Carson, you are missing something!

Horrido!!!
