The Green Mountain Rangers have recently returned from Operation Pine Plains, which was held May 14-16th, at Fort Drum, NY.

GMR ran alongside the many good men on Bravo Company. By the end of the morning, Bravo Company outscored Alpha Company and came out as the victor.

The Green Mountain Rangers would like to Thank the MSATO Staff, Fort Drum CTF Staff, Airsoft Extreme, Monster Energy, and a very special thank you to the incredible charities we had an opportunity to fight for. Homes For Our Troops & The Wounded Warrior Project!

Here is a short recap video from the GMR helmet cams.

PRESS THE FIGHT

On February 13th, members of the Green Mountain Rangers ran the 2nd Tactical Applications Course in Worchester, MA. The course is about 6 hours, and focuses on a mix of real-world application modified to benefit any player in the field in the midst of a MOUT environment.

A video put together by a student was released last night showing focus on what the TAC course aims to do. Develop fireteams to bust down doors, and take names.

Head Instructors, Blackjack and Ronin- have led many different courses including the MSATO Gunfighter Course, which will be reintroduced again this year.

The Green Mountain Rangers will be hosting more classes like this in the near future.

Check out this video from dandman from IROPS out of New Hampshire to see get a feel for what the course is all about

"November 8th, 2008 – “Everyone in the TOC [was] thinking Ronin was delirious Sunday morning... I was told he was running straight at the wall of the building, and everyone thought he had lost it; then he leap straight into a window, like it was nothing."

January 24th, 2009 - GMR will be attending Crossfire's, Operation: Eagle's Nest, the annual Winter Event at Tolcom this coming weekend.

Attack on Eagle's Nest V has been an on going event for the past 5 years within the Jollinski/Tollingrad Winter Series.

Scenario:

"Galizien have contact Jollinski and have set up a meeting. Counter terrorism forces from many countries in the region and outside the area do not want this meeting to take place.

The terrain is tough, the weather is unpredictable, the Galizien’s have fought hard in the past when outsiders have entered this area and last but not least dealing with Jollinski is never a cake walk."

Over the past year the unit has been closely followed by a talented photographer who is now putting an exhibition featuring his journey with us. To photograph the Green Mountain Rangers (GMR), Lucas Thorpe joined them for practice sessions on Long Island; at an urban combat training center at Fort Knox, Kentucky; and during a four-day event on an island off the coast of Sweden with more than 2,000 participants from around the world.



The name and time and place is:

Surrounded by America

Reception: Tuesday, June 17, 6-8pm

Visual Arts Gallery
601 West 26 Street, 15th floor
New York, NY 10001

The Visual Arts Gallery is SVA's newest exhibition facility. Located in Chelsea on the 15th floor of the landmark Starrett-Lehigh Building, it comprises four state of the art galleries and a large terrace with a commanding view of Lower Manhattan and the Hudson River. Staffed by six full-time professionals, Visual Arts Gallery offers select students the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work in the same environment as some of the country's leading artists - a number of whom have exhibited there as well.

GMR has returned from the MOUT facility at Camp Blanding, FL where we participated in Operation Blackjack. The unit fired off an unreal 200,000+ rounds in only two days and was able to successfully complete all of its objectives for the weekend. More importantly, we were able to meet a number of quality operators from here and the UK. Thank you to Roundhouse Productions, Mind Game Productions, and Airsoft International for putting together the event.

Below are a few pictures from the event, plenty more to come. We also ran (2) helmet cams so be ready for a full video release shortly!






One last note, we have also named a new recipient of the Honorary GMR Unit Patch, Nathan. The unit first ran across Nate while maneuvering into position for the assault on Zulu scenario 1. He was on the verge of being one of many heat casualties that day, but with some help from our unit medic was able to get on his feet and continue to fight. Nate's ability to bounce back and fight through the rest of the operation exemplified all of the qualities that we love to see on the field. Here's a shot of us together.



Congrats sir!

The unit is currently finalizing our schedule for the rest of the year so stay tuned for an announcement on our next deployment.
