I had the good fortune to participate in one of the first open enrollment Modern Minuteman Classes put on by AMTAC Training…
The Course took place near Goldendale, Washington. Day one was largely comprised of a mid range carbine course with a block of instruction around Recce Rifles, ballistics, optics and more. This was followed by confirming zeros and stretching the rifles out on the range.
That afternoon was dedicated to land navigation. Both concepts and principles as well as a practical short course. Plotting points and finding points. Accomplishing this with both map and compass as well as a GPS.
Then on Day 2 of the Modern Minuteman Course, we put it all together in a race. A series of 12 different waypoints you needed to navigate too, intermixed with challenges. Some of the challenges were shooting challenges, some physical and others were task specific, something you needed to preform under a time limit.
Overall it was an amazing course, giving the students the opportunity to learn new skills and put them to use in a really fun competition.
