Strelok, if we had to create a training drill that throws an ambush at a squad right off the bat, how would you set it up so we keep the fire disciplined but still force quick, decisive action?

Set a clear trigger—like a silent whistle—so everyone knows the moment the ambush begins. Assign each soldier a single target and a single weapon to avoid chatter. Pre‑brief the squad: one man holds the line, two fire to the left flank, one to the right, the rest ready to switch on the whistle. Keep the first burst to three rounds, then pause for a half‑second before the next, so you can gauge the enemy’s response. Drill this pattern until the squad can fire in a tight, coordinated burst and then pivot on a second trigger if the enemy breaks. That’s disciplined fire and quick decision‑making in one package.
