TZMD Operation Drum Hill

ZAZZU

Hasty planning and rapid reaction met on Drum Hill, as Mountain Division responded to a live-fire emergency response situation with no prior knowledge of the scenario.

TZ participants were delivered the scenario in the midst of other training, and were obligated to plan and engage their response immediately. The scenario tested readiness, coordination, and willingness to engage challenges.

“ Find the Target and Engage! ”

A three-man team performed a flanking manuever and pushed to the target while engaging covering bounding formations. When the target area was cleared, they peeled off and fell back to a safe area. Go Teame!
