Fundamental Tactical Operator

Description

This two day course puts it all together to help you move toward becoming a highly competent Operator with your primary (rifle) and secondary (pistol) weapon systems. This course is designed to push your physical and mental abilities as you fully develop your shooting, moving, weapons handling and critical tactical thinking skills. SIT (Stress Inoculation Training) plays a big part in this course and helps you to better understand the human stress response and how it affects you personally.

Performance-Based Training: Our methods and teachings may be a little different than what you have previously experienced. We use Performance-Based training combined with limited Standards-Based training. Obviously, we have high standards for our training programs but we don’t train for outcomes ie. ambiguous standards, we train for your forward progress. Our focus is to help you improve your personal performance (skillset) at whatever level you are at today so you can be better, faster and smarter tomorrow.
