Just wanted to throw out something that we (Coyote Tactical) used to do up in the Phoenix area...still do on occasion. We called these small games "Black Ops" cause they were small, spontaneous and kept to honorable players only. On full moon nights which could last up to 3-4 days. We would round up 10-12 CT or non-CT members and have spontaneous night ops (objectives) in random playing fields. Normally we tried to meet right as the sun goes down or when the moon is at its highest, brightest point in the sky. If you ever went out in the desert on a full moon lit night, it is a pretty cool experience. The moon gives off a crazy white blueish color and as your night vision settles in, your surroundings become lit up almost as if you were in daylight.
This type of game play helps hone in your night movement and trains you on how to use your natural night vision and / or illumination equipment (strobes, tactical lights, gun mounted lights, glow sticks). Believe it or not there are tricks on how to see in super low light conditions that most individuals don't know about.
Before OLC and Operation Irene, we used these opportunities to train ourselves for the night events that went on. Most CT members are pretty well versed on night movement and identifying friend or foe in low light. On occasion we will even do real steal live fire training at night.
Sometimes these small games would break out on a weekday night, but most of the time it would be on a Friday night or weekend night. This recent full moon would have been perfect to have one of these small games.
That's all...carry on!!
