Today we spent hours of classroom time learning landnav followed by some defensive position planning. We did some defensive positioning sketches and a lot of map overlays for routes. We will put this all to use in the culminating event of the course that involves 6 check points in a movement to an objective, 10 miles away, we must defend from an opposing force. We followed this up with some field rehearsals.

We have to take an indirect route through the mountains and desert flats and have a position set up and ready for another squad (12 Marines plus a squad leader) consisting of three fire teams (4 Marines a piece) attacking our position with SESAM rounds.

I am going to be a squad leader for the defensive team.

I will secure the objective and eliminate the attackers with extreme prejudice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
