The annual event which attracts participants from all over the world was held lest weekend in the Pacific Northwest. There were 28 participants and 11 graduates. The cadre consists of numerous former Rangers and one instructor Cal Rollins who was himself a SOG over-the-fence operator and instructor at the actual NhA Trang RECONDO school so the skills taught are authentic and viable. The students apply what they learn on simulated missions that range from area recon patrols to ambushes, SARs missions, stay behinds and a platoon level raid. All students performed a RON (Remain Over Night) and had to select a location for their patrol and avoid contact all night in spite of intensive searches by the NVA trackers. Here is a video which depicts the event from the eys of an embedded "reporter". youtu.be/L-5DV-8v_O8It remains one of the truly outstanding Airsoft and living history events and is held each year.

Frak, I was trying to keep an eye out for this event, but I completely missed it. Oh well, I would not have been able to attend this year anyway.
