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.

SUMMARY:Principles of Patrol 7DEC25
DESCRIPTION:Combat is the only “team sport” that humans actually compete in. Imagine someone who only punches a punching bag\, then claims he knows how to box\, or only bats in a cage against a ball throwing machine\, then claims he knows baseball. Batting is only a small part of the game. Punching is only a fraction of the whole of boxing. Someone who only knows how to shoot doesn’t know shit about fighting and winning. Shooting is a tiny percentage of the ballgame\, and it isn’t what separates winners from losers. Teamwork\, tactics\, decision making\, leadership\, communication\, mission planning\, movement\, maneuver under fire\, and shooting combined together is what it takes to make a winning team. \nLearn the tactical principles that make the United States the most powerful exporter of military might in the world. Gain the history\, context\, and lessons learned in blood\, and refined over centuries\, that allow us to win on any battlefield\, past\, present\, and future. Learn how to use a simple framework to solve problems under stress\, and to prevent preventable losses from occurring in the first place.  \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 objective to accomplish the mission\, and fight your way out of enemy contact.  \nLearn: \nMETT-TCGOTWAPACELACESergeant Major Eats Sugar CookiesWARNOFRAGOOPORDPCC/PCILDI crossingRally pointObjective rally pointLOAHand signalsNear and far recognition signalsNoise DisciplineLight DisciplineRadio DisciplineTrash DisciplineSectors of fireSetting securityRest cyclesPatrol formationsBounding movementBumping movementTravelingTraveling OverwatchLift fire/Shift fireTarget reference pointBattle drills  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Principles of Atttack 7DEC25
DESCRIPTION:Think about the team sports you played as a kid growing up. I played ice hockey as a defenseman. Others of you played football\, basketball\, soccer\, lacrosse\, water polo…each of these games has a methodology of the defense\, which is how to prevent the other team from scoring\, and a methodology of the offense\, which is how to score against the other team. Humans compete in only one true “ball game” with permanent\, and history defining consequences. In fact all modern competitive sports are simply facsimiles and simulations of combat.  \nIn this class\, Principles of Attack\, learn how score\, and to win\, in the modern “ball game” of small unit infantry combat.   \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 objective to accomplish the mission\, and exercise coordination and violence in order defeat the enemy and win.   \nLearn: \nSupport by fireTarget reference pointLift fire/Shift firePACEObjective rally pointLeaders reconInfiltrationTerrain maskingLast cover and concealmentHasty attackDeliberate attackFrontal assaultFlank maneuverSkirmish formationBounding assaultMETT-TCGOTWAPCC/PCILOALACEBattle drills  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Precision Rifle Theory 11APR26
DESCRIPTION:Tactical precision rifle is a lifelong journey\, a passion\, a dedication to the true modern martial art and science; The mastery of a skill so simple\, yet so nuanced; Available to all\, yet fully understood by few. In this class\, we introduce the curious beginner to everything that it takes to become a master marksman. Curiosity is all it takes to begin.   \nHurry to sign up and secure your seat in the class. Space is limited\, so if we sell out\, email admin@monarchdefense.org to be added to the waiting list. Remember to email us if you change your mind or if you can’t come\, so we can give your seat to someone else.  \nThis is a free class. \nLearn: \n4 components of your weapon systemThe purpose of precision rifle trainingWhat is a sniper\, exactly? Precision vs Accuracy \nHow far can you actually shoot?How do we measure precision?How to use minutes of angle?How to use milliradians? \nBullet trajectoryBall ammunition vs Match ammunitionFast math vs good math for precision rifle calculationsWhat is DOPE? \nThe functions and features of precision rifle scopesHow to choose a rifle and cartridge for long range precision shootingAccessories and support equipment that you will needTips for how to practice \nYou could watch YouTube videos and figure things out by yourself\, but if you get something wrong\, no one will be there to coach or guide you\, and a simple error could plague your learning and development as a shooter. If you want to go to the public range and entertain yourself at 100 yards with your elbows on a table\, be my guest\, but that sounds boring. If you want to go out to BLM and have stray bullets wiz past you from random strangers\, or have other people shoot holes in your target\, be my guest to talk with my friend Mike who got shot through both legs out there.

Or\, take the bold first step to beginning your formal education on precision rifle craft\, combat rifle craft\, and sniper craft from a seasoned professional. \nThis class is designed to provide beginners with a solid introduction to the attitude\, skill\, and knowledge you will need to succeed in the journey towards becoming expert riflemen.  \nMy name is Brian Wang. I have been teaching firearm safety\, self defense\, and the combat use of firearms for 11 years professionally.  I have been a teacher since 2006. I have trained kung fu since 2007. I completed sniper school in 2010. I have been licensed to carry a concealed weapon since 2013. I have traveled the country to learn from the best mentors and take the best instructor certification programs available. I have been to war and watched friends die. I have survived a guided missile\, helicopter rockets\, artillery bombardment\, aviation bombs\, strafing by infantry fighting vehicle cannon\, and disease on the front line. I trained\, equipped\, and in large part gave birth to the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade’s snipers and designated marksmen. I am a father and a husband and a small business owner. I have taught over 10\,000 students in Florida\, Texas\, Arizona\, Arkansas\, Nevada\, Ukraine\, and California. I own and operate at 300 acre dedicated tactical training facility only 1 hour from the bay area. It is my honor to be your instructor\, and to bring you all of this knowledge for free. \nI have strived to design a thorough hands on learning experience\, with the most detail in the shortest time possible. Expect 50% of your class to be lecture and discussion\, and 50% to be hands on with guns\, shooting\, and moving\, etc. \nPrerequisites: \nCombat rifle theory \nCancellations: \nIf you do not plan to attend\, notify us immediately so that we can give your spot in class to another student.

SUMMARY:Precision Rifle Fundamentals 11APR26
DESCRIPTION:Precision Rifle Fundamentals teaches the 7 aspects of rifle technique. Those are: body position\, natural point of aim\, breathing\, sight alignment\, sight picture\, trigger press\, and follow through. Expect our training to be conducted primarily on the 100 meter line\, shooting from the prone position on paper targets.  \nOur goal is to build up your shooting skills and consistency such that you can reliably achieve 1 minute of angle groups with either the bolt action or semi automatic sniper rifle\, which will equate to effective range on man sized targets at 1200 meters and beyond.  \nWe can provide for you all weapon systems\, scopes\, ammunition\, and equipment. Certainly you are welcome to bring your own\, but buying expensive gear is not necessary to participate in this training. Always communicate proactively with the instructor if you need to use the school’s equipment and ammunition so that we can prepare for you.  \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 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.
