What we can see in some ways from this pandemic is a silver lining. I am not talking about the loss of salaries, damage to the economy or apparent willingness of many to give up their rights in the face of fear. If we use any situation to learn from thhen this situation will go a long way toward helping all of us in our preparations. It has helped to identify shortcomings to be corrected and weaknesses or things we havnt thought of so they can be addresses.
One thing I have seen drop off significantly is training. This is ironic as for the last 6 weeks we have seen record firearm sales and insane runs on ammunition. For many we have actually had more "free" time to be able to get some training in. If you planned head you have ammo to be able to continue to train, while adding in some more non firing evolutions to conserve ammo. You can get in great training sessions without burning tons of ammo.
This is written from the direction of firearm training, but holds true for comms, HUMINT, and medical!
Ammo is starting to flow from manufacturers and distributors, and other than a few shitty companies prices will be or already are back in line. Dont let your supply be the excuse to see a drop in proficiency.
Recently I have been working on my pistol, precision rifle and night navigation and patrol.
