Close Quarter Combat Rifle 7NOV25

Close Quarter Combat Rifle is a technical training module which will build upon the weapons handling skills that we introduced during Basic Combat Rifle, then add and refine the skills necessary for students to succeed in high stress, high speed close range engagements in dense forest, around urban structures, and in trenches.
Note the difference between technical and tactical training. Technical training modules like this one focus on hardware and skill development, whereas tactical training modules are focused on decision making and problem solving.
This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this training program, call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org.
