The HLLV Vietnam Combat Training School proudly announces that we will conduct Basic Land Navigation and Communications Course for troopers seeking to develop essential battlefield navigation and communication skills. BLNCC is designed to provide troopers with the foundational knowledge necessary to navigate the battlefield, accurately identify and report enemy positions, and communicate effectively within their squad across the battlefield. There is a classroom portion, followed by practices and a final FTX. The class is 45 minutes long.
