Kittitas Regiment

it'll apparently have to be used against more than just the other enemies.

"'Patriot' was a good movie..." Precisely! But, just a movie, though maybe fun to watch. I have already seen parts of it. Movies depict things as their producers would like for those things to be depicted. Americans love modernity and, are in love with heavy industry and technology...until it will prove to be their weakness. They mostly love to depict anything in a light that "proves" their point. However, real proof is, as they say, "in the pudding". The pudding, in this case, can be tested in airsoft drills, as our good colleague wquon has brought to our attention in this thread.

The old school tactics are often revisited after it's found that the new ideas are the ones that get friendlies killed (as old-school line shooting in close quarters combat has had to be resumed -- usually given some amateurish re-name by those unfamiliar with the former doctrine they've had to "reinvent" -- after many "wedge" (chevron) formations lost forward friendlies to their own echelons' shots from the rear). You seem to have not read my point that with reconnaissance-in-force, those scoped enemy sharpshooters themselves will have been decimated by our shot that's being volleyed at them

Military units are actually traditionally composed of two "individuals" (file ranks) per "team" (a "file", traditionally two ranks in column); two "teams" compose a squad (a traditionally square formation of two files in line capable of small volleys or, more modernly, capable of "fire and maneuver" or "bounding"); two squads (in column) traditionally compose a section; two sections (in line) traditionally form a platoon -- the usual volley or "peleton" formation. The number of ranks or files (optimally four files of eight ranks) in the platoon make it the ideal formation for less-than-automa

The mental, visual and "muscle memory" body movement as well as the general shooting skills developed in airsoft-like drills is what is valuable from them. It's true that "real" weapons drill is another, specific skill set but, that can be honed on the target range with those specific weapons' characteristics. The combination of the two skill sets, however, can easily mesh and likely be very valuable when needed in actual use.

My field of interest is history.

Thank you, Fixer, for changing the "edit" feature to allow for editing. Regarding the concern for "discussion" edits: anyone, including those making subsequent comments (perhaps critiques) of a previous post, should be able to edit their comment as well, if the original or, a preceding post being commented about is itself edited. Deletion (maybe instead of "edit") is also needed as an option for posts. It's less "safe" for posts needing to be edited (or deleted) to be "stuck" on the board than to have them be deletable or editable if they are considered to be in error by the author. That a

We cannot readily see how we're perpetually able to edit our posts on this site. The perpetual inability to edit a post can necessitate withdrawal from participation on this site.

Being unable to edit this post, it will have to only be amended by replacing command titles (colonel, etc.) by mere command posts (regimental commander, etc.). The title of all Militiamen would be "private".

Recruitment within the 509th (Eastern) Washington Militia Corps (cadre), preparatory-commanded by its recruiting corps commander, would need to be by each county's regiment (cadre), preparatory-commanded by the recruiting regimental commander thereof. The regiments would be composed of city battalions (cadres) and regimental county road companies (cadres). County road companies would be preparatory-commanded by their recruiting company commanders. City battalions, preparatory-commanded by their recruiting battalion commanders, would be composed of city street companies (cadres) which would b

Companies could also form and be identified by their recruitment zip codes, the number of which could be displayed along the bottom of the particular state's color (flag) in the contrasting predominant tincture (red, blue, green, purple or black) if on a "metal" (gold or yellow or, silver or white) or in the predominant "metal" of the state color if on a tinctured field (of the flag). The county name could be emblazoned along the top of the state color in contrasting "tincture" or "metal". For non-electronic communication (signals) these colors are vital for unit recognition and position in
