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

Course Description: This 2-day (20-24 hours) firearms training course focuses on introducing the student to the tactical concepts and fieldcraft fundamentals that are used with how to deal with closed and opened doorways, navigate doorways, make controlled room entry, dominate the room, and safely clear rooms with the AR/M4 rifle. Students will learn individual, two person and four person team room entry techniques while engaging single threats and multiple threats. This firearms training course is fast, demanding, and quickly reveals an individual's gun-handling skills in a dynamic CQB 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 Close Quarters Battle arena.
