Description:
Live Fire Battle Drills will utilize all of the hard skills we learned in Basic Combat Rifle, and then add a tactical and teamwork component, to provide students with context as to how and when we use rifles in human conflict. We will learn the 7 basic battle drills, which form the building blocks for all small unit tactical maneuver, and then practice them methodically and safely with live fire, first individually, then as partners, then as fire teams. Battle drills are pre-planned reactions with coordinated teamwork that you can initiate rapidly and instinctively without lengthy discussions or planning during the heat of battle.
Anytime we are practicing teamwork in conjunction with live ammunition, student safety becomes the paramount priority. Hence, You can expect the pace of this class to be slow and methodical for most of the day as we learn and practice new skills, culminating in high intensity shooting, moving, and communicating drills during the final hours of daylight as it cools down.
We provide all equipment you need for training. You do not need to bring your own in order to attend this class. If you have your own gear, you are welcome to bring and use it.
