RCS is a five-week class that teaches CORIVFOR sailors combat skills, weapons fundamentals and equipment, land navigation, urban operations, offensive and defensive patrolling, and communications.
You're gonna teach Combat Skills, Weapon Fundamentals, Land Nav, Urban Combat Ops, AND offensive and defensive patrolling in 5 weeks?????
Sorry I'm calling bullshit on that unless you're just checking off boxes. There is no way that even fundamentals can be taught in that short a time period. What is happening to NAVY Riverine Force?
Maybe the US Army needs to take this mission! They did it in Vietnam maybe its time they did it again?
