    FragO (Fragmentation Order) When you pass the line of departure to complete a well rehearsed and planned out mission, Murphy happens. The battlefield is constantly changing. Your unit may receive a FragO, which is either a side mission, or change in primary mission which still completes the original Commanders Intent.

    During the 5K orienteering portion of the Wolverine race, you will receive several FragOs which you may choose to complete for a nice reward, or decline and push through to your primary objective; that tactical decision is on you to make.

    Looks like a great event you guys have been doing. We wanted to make it to the one this past spring, but the dates conflicted with drill schedule. Any decision on the June weekend or shooting for something in the Spring?

    Right now we are targeting June 17th. But not going to lock that in until the 1st of the year.

    While everyone is else debating he-said she-said politics; Wolverine 5K athletes are debating if we should carry 2 mags or 3, extra batteries for the comms, or to compete hardcore or as a recreationalist….

    Going to bring a four man team next year pending a drill schedule for some of the guys. Have any more details on courses of fire so we can prep the correct weapons/equipment?

    Understand the pending schedule. We are shooting for June 17th, but that may change due to Uncle Sam's lack of human compassion when it comes to schedule changes. Come Jan 1st, we will lock in the date. Don't wait too long though, we are looking at 52% full right now.

    Stages of fire, will be slow leaked over the next many months. A couple of stages will remain mystery until day of the event, we have some surprises planned.

    Gear needed will be the same as 2016's race. Maybe pack more muscles and heart for this race.
