He was later assigned to Camp Washington where he had been promoted to the rank of Major. he met legendary mercenary Henri Ducard who was tasked with training young soldiers in new fighting techniques in anticipation of brewing troubles taking place in Syria. Ducard was amazed at how skilled Slade was and how quickly he adapted to modern conventions of warfare, and realized that he was without a doubt the most able-bodied combatant he had ever encountered. He offered to privately train Slade in guerrilla warfare. In less than a year, Slade mastered every fighting form presented to him and was soon promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
