Rigid Tactical

Rigid Tactical Partnership with Raven Advisory and Gryphon Group provides advanced tactical training to EODMU2: Our partnership aims to equip students with essential skills that are increasingly relevant in modern warfare scenarios. With a Rigid Tactical leader at the helm and partner leaders integrating specialized training and educational modules, Warriors learn critical thinking, strategic planning, and technological proficiency, which are vital for contemporary military operations. This collaboration provides a comprehensive platform for students to engage in simulated environments, enhancing their ability to adapt and respond effectively in high-pressure situations. Furthermore, the partnership fosters a multidisciplinary approach, encouraging students to not only master traditional combat skills but also to develop expertise in intelligence analysis and communication techniques. Through this initiative, students are better prepared to face the complexities of modern conflicts, ensuring they are well-equipped to protect and serve effectively. #combatskills #EODGRU2 #navyeod #cqc #gryphongroup #ravenadvisory #combatskills @gryphongroupofficial @ravenadvisorygroup #skillstosurvive

In Honor of Black History Month, we remember COL Charity Adams, Commander of the 6888 Central Postal Directory in World War II. In the waning months of World War II, the 855 women of color who comprised the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion — 824 enlisted Soldiers and 31 officers — completed a time-sensitive mission in the European Theater of Operations. Army leadership believed their success would be key to boosting morale amongst the 7 million war-weary American service members, U.S. Government personnel, and Red Cross workers stationed throughout Europe in 1945. The mission? To label, sort, and clear millions of pieces of mail — including letters, photographs, and gifts — that had been stockpiled and left languishing in warehouses for months, even years. One general predicted it would take six months to process the massive backlog of undelivered mail, yet the battalion, nicknamed “Six Triple Eight,” managed to do it in just three. The story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion is a tale of adventure, hard work, and success against the odds. But it is also one of incredible resilience and perseverance in the face of deeply entrenched racial and gender inequality. Though many of the women of the 6888th joined the Army for the opportunities it offered for travel, education, and a regular paycheck, the desire for social change remained a strong undercurrent that unified the individual women into a cohesive and resilient unit. Alyce Dixon, a straight-talking former corporal with the 6888th Battalion said it most plainly as she reflected on her experience as a young woman: “We’re all human — whether black, white, red or brown, and we all have something to offer.” The Six Triple Eight’s achievements are remarkable considering the fraught social and political climate of the time. Indeed, the women of the 6888th Postal Directory Battalion proved to be pioneers in military service during an era when racial segregation was law, and few opportunities were available to women to work outside the domestic sphere...
