» Subject: Camp Gore: Report #01
Good day,
The past three weeks have proven to be enlightening on the fact that mere belief in a soldier's cause does not a soldier make. However, the militia's men and women are surprisingly receptive to foreigners' instructions and have taken well to their new training regimens. Recent shipments of weapons and corresponding munitions have allowed us to conduct a number of exercises, including basic firearm training and close-quarters drills. Your people are sloppy and it will take some time to make even remotely competent soldiers of them, but they certainly do not lack motivation - as evidenced by the volume of fire they are willing to put down range. If only it would hit its mark.
There have, of course, been a number of injuries and - I am sorry to inform you - half a dozen fatalities. If medical supplies could, perhaps, be prioritized for the next shipment, we may begin with first aid and advanced triage instructions.
I singled out several dozen militia members with prior military, police, or mercenary experience and promoted them to a first batch of squad leaders and officers. Under the tutelage of my instructors and myself, they should soon make for cunning leaders.
That is all for now.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Sigmund Erich von Stürer.
