Classroom!!!
After being in the field for a solid week it was nice to get a little break and I enjoyed it until about 1200 Monday after our first round of PowerPoint’s. The week was pretty low key but we still had to complete a dreaded OPORD by Thursday. Enemy Analysis, what you think the enemies possible and probable courses of actions, was stressed this week and rightfully so. For our operation we were assaulting a village to secure a set of buildings, and knowing the defenses that the enemy might emplace had a huge impact on our planning. The classes will not get you all of the information that you will need for your OPORD so this week I had to do a little studying defensive operations. Wednesday night into Thursday was a little crazy, all OPORD's had to be completed on Thursday and we had the 10 mile ruck march that began at 0200 on Thursday as well, to top it all off we had to take a major exam Thursday morning after the ruck. There were a few (most) guys that were up for about 48 hours. I guess the only lesson is time management, but who is really great at that.
