SUMMARY:Principles of Patrol Jan 21 2024
DESCRIPTION:Principles of Patrol is the first installment of a four part series offered during spring 2024 Small Unit Tactics School. This curriculum was previously offered only in Monarch Defense’s Special Purpose Rifle School\, and after gathering customer feedback for several years\, this year we aim to break up the curriculum into recurring once-a-month classes that will allow you more flexibility in scheduling. \nThis class will introduce students to modern tactical theory\, field movement\, leadership\, teamwork\, and the unique american fighting doctrine which was developed centries ago as a hybrid of Native American and European fighting methods\, and despite being codified by Robert Rogers in 1757\, is still used and taught to this day. \nCase in point\, this highly condensed and efficient introductory class is exactly what our team of seasoned instructors compiled for the all-volunteer 47th Separate Battalion during the summer of 2022\, which later became the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukraine Armed Forces who spearheaded the counteroffensive against Russian occupation during the summer of 2023. These were regular people just like you who made the decision to learn how to fight.  \nThose who study history find that there are cycles and patterns which repeat themselves\, so if you understand history\, you are able to predict and prepare for the future. In 1775\, the young United States was losing a war against the most powerful military in the world and turned to an expert military instructor from Prussia named Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben because the rag tag american militiamen had the heart to fight\, but were not professionally trained soldiers\, and they needed to learn teamwork and tactics. That training is what eventually lead to the defeat of Great Britain in 1783. \nIn 1937 China found itself invaded by a superior imperial Japanese army. The Chinese Communist Party Liberation Army managed to survive the war by the skin of it’s teeth\, it then went on to win a civil war from 1945-1949\, fought the United States in direct combat in Korea in the 1950-1953\, so by the time Ho Chi Minh\, leader of North Vietnam turned to China for military aid during the Vietnam War from 1955-1975\, China was well experienced to teach the north Vietnamese commoner how to fight and win against a technologically superior professional adversary. Leading to the defeat of the United States in 1975. \nThe Soviet Union\, the largest country in the world\, invaded and occupied Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989\, and for 10 years despite having overwhelming advantage in technology and military might\, were defeated by essentially peasants with some old rifles and the occassional shoulder fired anti aircraft missile. What was the secret to their success? American funded guerilla training and tactics. So successful was this proxy war for the americans\, that it lead to the literal collapse of the Soviet Union\, ending the Cold War. Fast forward to 2021 and the same Afghans who defeated the USSR defeated the United states after 20 years of military occupation by the most powerful military on the planet. \nDo you see the pattern? In each of these cases the underdog\, who starts as a ragtag collection of laymen\, is able to defeat a superior adversary through discipline\, tactics\, and an understanding of combat theory. If history repeats itself\, then when will it be your turn to fight for your freedom\, your sovereignty\, your family\, or your life? When that time comes\, would you rather scramble to survive\, or would you rather learn how to fight now when the sun is shining? \n\n\n\nLocation:\nMeet and park at 37505 San Antonio Valley Road\, Mt Hamilton\, CA 95140. Cell reception is unreliable out here\, do not trust Apple maps/Google maps/Wayz. Detailed driving directions will be emailed to those who register. \nPacking List: \n\n\n\nNotebook and writing utensil\, highly recommend Rite in the Rain 4″x6″ and a short wood pencil 1 gallon of waterLunch and snacksBoots Wool socks Extra socks wrapped in plastic bag Combat uniform such as US Army surplus Flame Resistant Army Combat Uniform (FRACU) which can be purchased on ebay for about $45 top and bottom Boonie hat Gloves 5.56x45mm caliber rifle equipped with Boland FX hollywood full load blank fire adapter (borrow from the school) Muzzle on blank adapted weapons must be painted bright yellow (school can provide you with a blank adapter and painted muzzle device) 5+ 30 round Magpul Pmags (borrow from the school) $80 for 300 rounds of blanks and training grenades Tourniquet IFAK (individual first aid kit) highly recommended Night Vision optional Helmet optional Rifle rated body armor optonal 22 caliber barrel cleaning rod Rifle cleaning kit\, with oil\, rag\, toothbrush\, and star chamber brush \n\n\n\nCost: \n$124 per class when you buy the whole 4 class series\, or $275 per class if you buy them singly. \n4 class package for $496 includes: \nPrinciples of Patrol 1/21/24Care Under Fire 2/18/24Principles of Ambush 3/17/24Principles of Raid 4/21/24 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow can I contact the organizer with my questions? \n\n\n\nBrian Wang is the event organizer. He can be reached at 408-892-5460 or info@monarchdefense.org \n\n\n\nWhat is the refund policy? We do not issue refunds. Instead\, we offer an open reschedule policy.
