Ten Day Combat Skills Refresher (Military Only)
Soldiers on the modern battlefield are commonly working outside of their MOS and require a refresher on basic warrior skills. This course is designed to teach/reinforce the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed when operating in a high-threat or combat environment as a singleton or in small teams. This course enhances the basic skills to shoot, move, communicate and medicate. Battle drills focus on marksmanship and movement at the individual, two man, and team level. The course focuses on core skills but incorporates the contemporary combat environment and is adaptable to any theater of operation. At the end of the training, soldiers will have enhanced their warrior skills, learned a proven methodology of training, and Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) are empowered as force multipliers to train their subordinates.
