STR U Videos
Outpost directors have access to an STR U account that has all of the courses and videos unlocked. You can use this to be able to quickly access any of the videos for presentations or sharing.
To do this:
- Log into training.str.org with the username 'outposts' and the password provided by Tripp.
- Select a course.
- Select which lesson you would like to view - While viewing the course material you can move back and forth within the course by selecting which lesson at the top right of the screen.
Tactics
This Tactics Material is to be used instead of the STRU Tactics Course. This material is longer and more in depth than the STRU Course, so when you get to the place of teaching Tactics in your Outpost, we would prefer that you use this material. Each video is about 60 minutes long, so we suggest that you watch ½ of a video per meeting so that discussion can still take place. Let me know if you have any questions about the material.
