Utica, NY –-(Ammoland.com)- So far the summer is moving right along for us here at MDTS and fall will soon be upon us so get out and shoot while this good albeit extremely hot weather lasts.

Many of you have now met in class or possibly seen Captain Luke Slatton in last month’s MDTS video tip. Luke is a welcome addition to the Modern Defensive Training Systems staff bringing a wealth of real world knowledge and fighting experience to our classes.

A little background on Luke: he is an infantry officer in the US Army and an Army Ranger with significant combat experience.

Luke spent more than 27 months deployed in support of the Global War on Terror (OIF/OEF). He has conducted combined arms combat operations with every branch of the military, and conducted operations with both foreign and domestic Private Military/Security Companies. Luke is a subject matter expert on small unit tactics and combined arms integration, with a focus on military operations in urban terrain (MOUT).

You will be seeing Luke more and more this year and in 2012, help us welcome Luke by introducing yourself to him at the next class or training event.
