Motorcycles have proven to be a vital asset on the battlefield since WWI as a mobile machine gun platform to recent recon missions in the Global War on Terrorism. At RMC Defense we believe that the foundation of every excellent off-road driver is the basic skill of riding a motorcycle. Most off-road motorcycles are lightweight, low maintenance, and can provide invaluable experiences that will translate over to almost every type of 4-wheel off-road vehicle. In addition to their own mission capability, we have found that motorcycle riding has provided operators the education and experience that were crucial for military personnel when trying to negotiate larger armored 4-wheeled vehicles in hostile environments.  We highly recommend that everyone safely learns the basics of off-roading on two-wheels before the advancing to larger more expensive vehicles, especially military personnel. At RMC, our Motorcycle Course of Instruction, known as LEADRIDER, which is a 5-Day Off-Road Motorcycle Course taught by former SOCOM Tactical Ground Mobility Operators and Off-Road Racers that have the experience to teach military personnel with no riding experience how to ride safely and effectively in a hostile environment. The course is designed to graduate personnel at an intermediate riding level with the understanding of how to continue their learning progression as a rider once they graduate. In this 5 Day course students learn a wide variety of essential off-road riding skills on multiple types of terrain that will benefit them in almost every area of operation:
