Shooting Moving Communicating with a Small Squad through Rooms, Halls and Other Structural Configurations while Effectively Engaging Live Threats.
This course is an in-depth, scenario-based course typically reserved for special operation units and law enforcement tactical teams. Team Tactics (Force on Force) Rifle will start with basic drills to familiarize participants with firing from cover, movement, and communication. By the end of the course, shooters will be moving in small squads, negotiating team-fighting maneuvers safely and confidently, and laying down effective fire on target.
This course utilizes the semi automatic AR-15 platform. Please note that this course will utilize simunition, therefore no ammo will be necessary, but you will need to bring your own MIL SPEC AR-15 platform rifle.
