As someone who has survived numerous near ambushes in combat in Iraq, refined "gross motor skills" taken to the "warrior edge" is the key. To sum this up, you have to be able to go from a dead sleep to 100 mph in milliseconds. You have already lost surprise, so you need to go extra heavy on speed and violence of action-the three principles of Close Quarters Battle (CQB). Your mindset and focus must be to throw everything you have at the threat in seconds or you will die. There is no running, talking on the radio, calling 911, it is kill or be killed. These skills do not come overnight nor do they do come thru training a few times a year-it takes massive amounts of time at the range and you know what-sometimes you don't even have to use bullets. Going thru your reaction drills dry is always effective but not the approved answer. Do this now before we have more statistics than good people out there. Society and the streets are getting worse everyday and they will not wait for you to catch up with them. Jedburgh sounds like they have the right plan for keeping people alive. I will take advantage of their training very soon. Thanks to the Special Forces community for caring about our survivability. Very Sincerely, John I would like to hit on the ambush portion of this blog.
