On 29/05/2025, Special Weapons and Tactics logged on for an EU training session aimed at reinforcing formation discipline, troop responsiveness, and tactical execution. The event, while smaller in scale, saw strong energy and adaptability from all attendees.

Max: 9

We began with a structured warmup, easing into tactic chains such as EQ/EW, focusing on synchronization and spacing. The VC remained lively throughout, with real-time adjustments being called to correct gaps, missed sends, and minor positioning errors. Even with a modest max of 9, attention to individual placements was emphasized—particularly in maintaining symmetry and filling specific form positions.

Formations included horizontal lines, L formations, and an attempted X shape, which, despite spatial limitations, was pulled off with determination. The room saw some improvisation as well, with SWAT adapting mid-event to integrate tactics like “We ride our bears at dawn” and “Green and black back on track”, both met with enthusiasm from the ranks.

Real-time feedback, quick recovery from AFKs, and persistent VC coordination helped maintain momentum. Tactical diversity remained a challenge, prompting some light discussion mid-event on innovation and future prep work. Nevertheless, all formations were completed with clarity, and everyone present engaged actively until the end.

While this was a training event, the performance from the troops was commendable—especially given the tight timing and live coordination. Events like these are crucial for refining performance under pressure and developing both newer and seasoned members alike.

Thank you to all SWAT members who attended. 

Stay sharp—and keep riding those bears at dawn.
