(Really, three, that using a radio is apart of teamwork, but it's large enough that it needs to be on it's own... Disable VOX!!)

hey
out here in bc, myself and ox (main ds) run some simulated exercises
the first one which incorporates 1,2, & 3.
in a group of 8, they are split into 4 pairs. they start in a corner and are sent into a area a pair at a time. They proceed into a area and to locate a enemy. Engages from good cover. The pair then works together in order to kill the enemy. One condition to this, they must kill him within 60 seconds. If not, they fail and the next pair goes in.
Basis of this exercise is communication, firing (suppression), yelling, moving, & best of all making sure when you're moving,not to cross over fire in resulting doing a teammate kill :P
the second one, incorporates all 4.
in a group of 8, 4 will be posted to guard a entrance/bridge. the other 4 will be split into 2's. they will be inserted on opposite ends of the entrance/bridge away from the view of the guards. their job is to secure the bridge, by eliminating the guards, and to make sure none of the guards, when they threatened, not able to call in to their radio for reinforcements. if they do, the spec ops fail.
Basis of this exercise is communication, when and to move, taking up position(if sniper applicable) initiating the order & best of all compromising.
best story i have is 3 guards vs 4 spec ops. 1 guard was on the other side while the 2 maintained the front. 1 spec was going observer/recon of the view area. their plan is to set up a sniper to take out the guard on the other side. 1 spec will standby to the front. the last spec was the distraction. Problem came around when the sniper was spotted and taken in for suspicion for 5 minutes. one guards takes his main gun away and puts it on the ground. the order went ahead for the distraction, he came down. the front and the other side guard looked at the distraction. the guard disarming the sniper asked for his hand gun. sniper slowly remove his handgun from his holster, in 2 sec or less, he killed all 3 guards with his handgun.
the time window for this exercise is 1 hour.
bare in mind, this exercise is not about shooting and its a slow pace game but requires team work. radio coms was a big factor in this as well
in regards to your core skills, since you're asking for tips, i have to ask what specific parts of would you like? both exercises i state above have both the core skills but different environments and situation. best question i always ask myself, as a ds, what do i want a new player to walk away with to help him become a better player for himself and a sharper killer to his enemies that reflects on the game styles that you would run on your field, example run & gun; milsim; swat indoors; etc...
hope my post isnt too long, apologies on that :P
if you want to hook up more info, send me a pm
got lots more
