SUMMARY:Principles of Reconnaissance 9NOV25
DESCRIPTION:The battlefield is an ever changing place\, and the winner is the one who has more information\, better information\, and who can make sound decisions faster with greater adaptability and flexibility. This means that all commanders need a steady feed of intelligence\, data\, surveillance\, and information on the terrain\, the enemy\, the weather\, and the local population\, to determine what to do next in order to win and save lives.  \nThis is a tactical problem-solving\, movement\, and teamwork exercise\, in austere field environment. It will be intense physically and mentally. It is not for the weak or the faint of heart. You will plan the mission\, insert into the area of operations\, move stealthily\, identify the proper location for your data gathering objective\, gather information useful to the commander\, and sneak out undetected.  \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Special Purpose Rifle 9NOV25
DESCRIPTION:Special Purpose Rifle is where we push the boundaries of modern tactical riflecraft. This is for students who already understand and have mastered the basics\, and wish to progress into the pinnacle of advanced close quarter\, long range\, night time\, high speed\, and high precision shooting.  \nThis is a technical and teamwork training\, which will be intense physically and mentally. It is not for the weak or the faint of heart. You will shoot\, move\, target identify\, practice camouflage\, stealth\, observation\, radio communication\, land navigation\, and follow basic tactical principles of movement and mission planning. You will range targets manually\, gauge the wind by feel\, calculate firing solutions quickly without ballistic calculators\, shoot from tree branches\, backpacks\, field expedient rests\, through buildings\, under vehicles\, and from attics. You will be able to move\, shoot\, communicate\, navigate\, and target identify in the day or in the dark\, no matter the weather.  \nThis 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.
