Special Guest at Combat Infantry School

This year, Time-Line Enterprises (TLE) has the pleasure of hosting our first-ever Combat Infantry School (CIS); a 3-day total immersion event with the aim of educating participants of some of the most basic infantry skills of the Vietnam-era. Our CIS is patterned on a truncated version of the course of the same name hosted by the Marine Corps Historical Association.

CIS will be held at "Camp Wilkinson" aka Wilkinson Nursery, Armburst, PA and will include a Remain Over Night patrol or "RON" where a squad begins a mission during daylight hours and creates a secure outpost during the evening without being spotted by simulated hostile forces. If the squad remains secure through the night, the remainder of the patrol will recommence with sunrise.  In addition to the RON, other topics such as the following will be covered:
  • Hand signals 
  • Radio communications
  • Land Navigation
  • Immediate Action
  • Day and night Patrolling
  • Hand to Hand (very Basic)
Cost of CIS is $160 and includes a commemorative Army gold/black t-shirt depicting crossed rifles.



Registration for CIS may be made via email: jonj@zoominternet.net and must have 50% paid in advance to hold billet and the rest paid by arrival date. If you cannot get a registration to us by the 24th thru snail mail then Phone contact is possible:  724-217-0022 or 724-834-0949  Females and accompanied minors are welcome to register. There is something for all that register.

TLE welcomes special guest CWO4 R. Muller, MCHA to the instructing cadre. Muller brings with him a wealth of living history immersion experience, most notably as an instructor at the Jungle Warfare Training Center at Camp Hardship, Pilsbury CA and as Chief Field Instructor of the Basic Reconnaissance School, at Camp Basilone, Rice Washington. Muller's recognized living history accomplishments also include writing articles on both World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. He holds both MCHA SCUBA and Parachutist qualifications and in 2011, was recognized with the Commendation Medal with Valorous device for preforming first aid at the scene of a multiple automobile accident at risk of his own life.

Time-Line Enterprises is a family oriented ministry and educational outreach re-enacting living history (501c3) nonprofit corporation, located in Greenburg PA. Our mission is to bring Christian ministry to those in the re-enacting community and to provide educational history programs from the 1700's to present. We welcome all faiths and members of all ages. Minors are encouraged to join with a parent or guardian.
