Protected: Night Fighting, 19 Sep 2020
In addition to the usual flashlight techniques and other standard night fighting fare, this class included role-playing experience fragment escape and evasion scenarios with blanks. We practiced periodic blinding methods and integrating flashlight IFF with lateral movement to the left and right. Students practiced “flash & smash”” close-quarters defensive techniques, working corners with lights, and incorporating flashlights into retention fire. We also practiced night fire without flashlights, for those rare occasions when the bad guy makes his badness and intentions known. IFF and teamwork were the main themes.
