07-01-06 FTX After Action Report

After weeks of planning, numerous setbacks and rescheduling, the fist ever SPL WarGroup Inc.* Field Training Exercises pushed through. Eleven elite troops, together with three Special Forces soldiers spent an entire day going through simulated battle scenarios with the aim of developing skills in small unit movement and tactics.

The sun bore down the heat early on during the day, but the men (and women) soldiered on. After a few sessions in urban battle, the group moved on to jungle warfare for the rest of the day. The thick brush and the sounds of the jungle was a complete step back from the urban setting, but everyone got into grips with jungle warfare pretty quickly.

As all exercises do, this day ended sooner than most people would like. At least they have more to look forward to in the next FTX.
