Five Day Low Signature Operations, Weapons and Combatives/Tactical Concealed Carry

This course is for military and other government agency personnel whose assignment and mission requires their interaction with civil authorities and the civilian population during peace, contingency operations, and declared war. It is ideally suited for personnel working out of an embassy, consulate, or other satellite overseas location that are required to travel discretely by foot or vehicle either individually or in small groups and are required, or elect to do so, under arms. The course will combine extreme close-quarters combatives (ECQC) training with tactical pistol and carbine employment in a low signature environment. The combatives portion focuses on techniques designed to disrupt an attacker and allow time for escape, or create stand-off for the presentation of a concealed firearm. The tactical pistol and carbine portion will focus on the 9mm pistol and AR-15 carbine skills necessary for repelling and/or escaping from a hostile armed encounter both on foot and when traveling by vehicle. The final day of training (Day 5), incorporates vehicles as well, and consists of a variety of likely scenarios to facilitate sound decision making and selection of the appropriate level of force for the given situation.
