Mat's instructing future company commanders

For the first time since we are back from the USA, Mat is a small group instructor at the Swiss Armed Forces Leadership Course I. This course is designed to teach tactics and leadership to future company commanders .

The course is very intense. The students have classes from 0700 till 2230 for almost every day for a duration of four weeks. After this course the candidates have the mission to lead a recruit school company for 8 weeks. Once this is completed, they may lead a real company.

Mat has nine students including an officer from Latvia in his group. Three infantrymen, 1 tanker, 1 military police, 2 Logistics- and two Signal-Officers.
