Pre-Requisite: Basic AR-15/M4 Rifle Course, AR/M4 Rifle Development Course, Advanced Tactical AR/M4 Rifle Course & AR/M4 Dynamic Room Entry Course

Course Description: This 2-day (20-24 hours) firearms training course expands the practical depth and scope of the student by introducing unorthodox shooting positions when fighting with the rifle around obstacles and using cover. Students will employ the rifle from various shooting positions that will include laying on both sides (Urban Prone), supine, and inverted rifle to engage around obstacles, under obstacles, over obstacles, and through barrier windows. This firearms training course is fast, demanding, and quickly reveals an individual's gun-handling skills in a dynamic, obstacle-rich environment. We take the student beyond the basics of the "shoot - scoot - shout" concept and immerse the student in to tactics, techniques, and procedures that are critical when deploying the rifle in the dynamic, varying environment.
