"Downtown Steel" / Maricopa County Unit - 20100109

Dates: 9-10 January 2010

A select team from the Maricopa County Unit attended a two-day course on MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain, also known as FBUA) and CQC (Close Quarters Combat) . This was a great learning experience and was a eye opener on what combat in built up areas is like. Trainees participated in multiple force-on-force Battle Drills.

Many thanks to the members who attended and to the Trainers.
