Shoot Move Communicate 6DEC25

December 6 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free

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. 

Learn: 

Weapon safety
Individual movement techniques
Basic tactical concepts
Patrolling movement
Bounding movement
React to contact
Break contact
Battle Drills
Wedge formation
File formation
Line formation
Hasty attack
Flanking attack
Suppressive fire
How to employ smoke and other grenades
Basic hand and arm signals
Initiative, aggression, and leadership

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 training modules, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this program, the price is $995 for the first 6 months, then $165.83 per month thereafter. Call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org to apply.
