Full Mission Profile – “Chimera” Redux

In last week’s Full Mission Profile – Operation Chimera, two fire teams entered a camp to rescue an American hostage.

Each fire team had a specific and unique mission objective to accomplish.  ALPHA Team had a fast paced surgical objective that required fast movement and extremely high energy.  BRAVO was tasked with creating as much havoc as possible with heavy weapons and mass destruction.  The mission window for success was 30 minutes.

If you did the FMP last week, it’s assumed that you chose your fire team, at least in part, based on your strengths.  If your strengths are in areas more suited to the ALPHA FMP Workout, chances are that you picked that one.  Same goes for BRAVO.

The real beauty of being CrossFit, though, is that you develop competency in all areas of operational fitness.  So this week we are going back to the camp to do it again, except this time you will be on the other Fire Team.  If you had mission success last week by finishing in under 30 minutes, but you fail this time (or vice versa), make a note of the areas that you are weak, then develop a plan to fix the problems.

Remember the FMP rules:

1. Technical proficiency is required.  In a mission you would not disregard the way you have been trained to clear a room, haphazardly fire your weapon in any direction, or shoot with your eyes closed.  So it is with the elements of the workout.  Do it right!
2. If you’re doing this with a team, you must move together.  It is OK to get ahead of the rest of the team while in a phase of the operation, but one member cannot move on to the next phase until all members are finished and can move together.  (That means that if you’re the last to finish a phase, you are putting your teammates, and the mission, in jeopardy.)
3. Mentally work from the perspective that it’s not just a workout, but a life or death scenario that punishes those that stop to catch their breath.
4. There is a maximum time limit of 30 minutes for time on target.  Failure to complete the workout in that time is failure of the mission.
