Introduction

Unlikely the first blog about RC MCCC, and certainly will not be the last.  Especially considering the changes coming to the program in 2015, 2016, and 2017.  My aim is to help any other LTs or CPTs prepare for and successfully complete each Phase of RC MCCC, and with that in mind, offer input, commentary, tell me I'm wrong, or contribute however you feel will best help your colleagues and the community that benefits from this information.

At the time of this post, I am a 1LT serving in an HHC in California.  Like you, I have a tremendous amount of pride in our Company, Battalion, Brigade, and State.  When you go through the courses of each phase, make sure you soak up as much detail you can that will help your peers in your CO, BN, or BCT.  I was wholly unprepared, sans the guidance my CO offered prior to leaving for Fort Benning.  No one's fault, but I found out only days before that I would be attending the RC MCCC, never received a Welcome Letter, and went into the course relatively blind.  I hope this blog will be an aid for you regardless of the timing of your reserved spot in ATRRS.

I came from MI, so my sand box has been limited to "red" (the ENY).  I did not attend IBOLC, so Phase 2 demanded lots of catch up for me - weapons systems, operational graphics, TTPs, and good ol' doctrine.  This blog will present from that perspective, so it may be a bit Barney Rubble for you high speed tabbed types.  Your mileage may vary.
