SUT

Mountain Guerilla and Max Velocity Tactical have made similar comments about what comprises advanced skills and the necessity of drilling in small unit tactics. I believe both authors are ex-SF operators, both Ranger-tabbed? If so, that may explain why they are concerned with SUT. Is it the case that certain ex-military instructors (especially from counter-terrorist units) are too concerned with weapons manipulation (shooting, shooting from different positions, and shooting with a mix of physical exercises in between, etc.) and not realistic combat drills for people learning to work in groups?

Will we see a new trend of ex-military who had completed Ranger school or been in a Ranger bat offering classes in SUT as a way to distinguish themselves from other instructors? There is a need for such instruction, especially for civilians seeking to prepare themselves for the duty of serving in [informal] militia groups, which the Founding Fathers understood as being incumbent upon all [male] citizens.

Why wouldn't a man want to read through the Ranger handbook and pick up some more skills in addition to the skills he learned in scouting as a boy, either from a scout troop or from family?
