Shoot Move Communicate 20JUL25

Shoot, Move, Communicate is the student’s first introduction to modern American fighting tactics. It is your introduction to teamwork, and how to shoot and move together safely. While most combat rifle classes are technical in nature, this module is tactical in nature. Without an understanding of the context in the bigger picture, or how fighting is done, having and knowing how to shoot a gun is useless. 

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 48 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.
