Patrol Challenge 3
Patrol Challenge 3
MilSim West is excited to announce the third event in our latest event format, and the first time it has come to the East Coast - PATROL CHALLENGE 3!
Patrol Challenge is the latest, and most hardcore MilSim West format where we combine our hardcore, immersive style of event with a competition format to determine who really is the best at immersive light infantry military simulation.
Utilizing an objective, and subjective grading criteria patrol challenge will not only test you physically and mentally - but also your teamwork and team building skills of your 30 man patrol throughout the 40 hour evolution.
This event is not for the weak or faint-hearted. Everything the patrol does will be graded collectively - whether it is the timed movement at the beginning, or ongoing tasks like conducting a raid, ambush, or area reconnaissance. Participants will be required to conduct combat patrols on foot while carrying their entire sustainment load while being graded, and for the first time ever there will be a scored live fire shoot!
Every score, subjective (Collective grading material such as ambushes, recons, etc..) and objective will be rolled up into one score at the end of the event. The patrol with the highest amount of points will win the event.
To ensure participants are prepared for the event, there will be over 24 hours of online classes covering the exact standards and grading material relevant to light infantry tactics as it relates to airsoft along with a question and answer portion and live interaction with cadre and instructors.
All participants will leave the event as better team members and leaders and with information they can take home with them.
The Patrol Challenge curriculum and game format was designed by Max Daniel, a former Army Officer and Security Cooperation Officer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) where he managed a school house teaching foreign partner forces to pass Ranger School.
All instructors and lane walkers or graders are professionals and subject matter experts in light infantry and patrolling type operations. Every single one of them are graduates of the US Military’s premier light infantry leadership school, RANGER SCHOOL, and are recipients of the coveted RANGER TAB.
Patrol Challenge 3 will take place December 6-8, 2024 at ARENA TRAINING FACILITY in Blakely, GA a 2300 acre premier facility 3 hours from Atlanta.
