15JAN09--Commando Training, Day 2
The team continued training the commando company today. We backed up a few steps, focusing on proper stance and movement while holding a weapon. Then we went into topic of seraching detainees and first aid once the Soldiers cleared a room.
The training was almost completely hands-on. We have come to see that Iraqis best learn by watching Americans demonstrate and then immitating what they saw.
