Close Quarters Battle (CQB)
The Close Quarters Battle (CQB) Course is an intensive, hands-on program designed to forge tactical superiority for high-stakes operations in confined, dynamic environments. This elite training emphasizes the nuanced differences between Hostage Rescue and Warrant Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), ensuring participants develop a deep understanding of team entry techniques, surgical marksmanship, and room-to-room combat, including the identification and control of Points of Domination (PODs). Students will master efficient, coordinated movement through critical transition points and danger areas—including hallways, intersections, and stairwells—while continuously honing their target discrimination and precision shooting under extreme pressure. Through immersive, scenario-based drills, professionals will develop the ability to make split-second decisions, execute flawless team movements, and maintain absolute operational effectiveness in the most volatile close-quarters engagements. This course is essential for law enforcement, military personnel, and security professionals committed to refining their skills for high-risk operations.

Hostage Rescue
The Hostage Rescue (HR) Course is an advanced, high-stakes tactical program designed to build the specialized team skills required for successfully resolving barricaded subject and hostage scenarios. While built upon core CQB principles, this training focuses intensely on the surgical application of force and precise mission execution, differentiating it sharply from Warrant Service TTPs. Participants will master advanced reconnaissance, dynamic and deliberate entry techniques, and the critical ability to isolate, contain, and neutralize threats with zero margin for error. Training places a premium on breaching and movement integration, complex corridor navigation, and utilizing Points of Domination to achieve absolute control over the crisis area, ensuring the immediate safety and extraction of innocent persons while minimizing operational risk. This course integrates psychological and negotiation considerations to develop a comprehensive response capability for time-sensitive, life-or-death situations.

Tactical Medical Course (TACMED)
The Tactical Medical Course (TACMED) is an intensive, skills-focused program designed to establish and refine the ability to deliver decisive trauma care within high-threat tactical environments. Rooted in TCCC/TECC Principles, training provides mastery over the core phases of Care Under Fire (CUF), Tactical Field Care (TFC), and TACEVAC, with a critical focus on Mass Casualty (MASCAL) evacuation planning. Participants will drill until proficiency is achieved in critical life-saving interventions, including the 90-second hemorrhage control standard via tourniquet and junctional control, advanced airway management, chest seal application, and rapid triage assessment. Furthermore, the course emphasizes Protocol Integration by collaborating on Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for a unified medical response doctrine. Through complex scenarios, students will master emergency decision-making, learning to seamlessly balance mission objectives with casualty survivability and effectively integrate medical reports into tactical communications using SIT/MIST formats.

Tactical Patrol Vehicle Operations
The Tactical Patrol Vehicle Operations course provides elite, dynamic training focused on counter-ambush techniques and achieving survivability and operational effectiveness during hostile vehicle engagements. The curriculum rigorously addresses two critical components: Reactive Shooting Positions and Disengagement Drills. Participants will demonstrate and practice live-fire applications from conventional and unconventional shooting positions outside the vehicle, including kneeling, shooting over the engine block, utilizing the roofline, and engaging threats from undercarriage cover, while also considering ballistic performance against auto glass and vehicle components. Inside the vehicle, rigorous emphasis is placed on maintaining strict weapons handling discipline to mitigate safety violations in the confined space. The training culminates in realistic, high-pressure Bail-out and Bounding Drills in 2-man and 4-man team configurations, with vehicles positioned to simulate complex threats (downrange and 90-degree flanks), ensuring students master coordinated movement, immediate action procedures, and threat disengagement under fire.
5
Small Unit Tactics / Linear Assault
The Small Unit Tactics / Linear Assault course is an intensive training program designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to execute small unit operations in high-pressure, dynamic environments effectively. This comprehensive course covers critical blocks of instruction, beginning with individual and team movement techniques, where students master tactical patrolling formations and learn to navigate terrain while maintaining operational security.
Participants will engage in detailed training on reacting to contact, including immediate action drills for near and far ambushes, ensuring rapid and coordinated responses to threats. The course emphasizes tactical decision-making during fire and maneuver, with practical force-on-force scenarios that simulate real-world engagements. Students will explore planning considerations for small unit tactics, focusing on the duties and responsibilities of 1-4 man teams, contingencies, and key leadership roles. Specialized instruction on linear assaults includes entering a linear target, clearing multiple compartments, and synchronizing the assault with exterior security teams, all while maintaining surprise, speed, and violence of action. The course also covers the last covered and concealed approach for raids, maintaining command and control during post-assault operations, and evacuating personnel under challenging conditions. Through hands-on exercises and scenario-based training, participants will develop the confidence and competence to lead and operate effectively in small unit tactical missions.

Low Light / Night-Vision
This specialized Low Light/Night Vision Training course is designed to enhance the operational effectiveness of law enforcement and emergency response teams during nighttime and low-visibility scenarios. The training aligns with the objectives of sustaining Special Response Teams (SRT) and addressing regional capability gaps by ensuring personnel are equipped to respond to no-notice events using cutting-edge tools and techniques.
This course addresses identified regional needs for training law enforcement personnel in image-intensification tools, which are essential for maintaining situational awareness and operational success during low-visibility emergencies. It is an essential component of sustaining SRT capabilities across jurisdictions.

Advanced Carbine Marksmanship
This 4-Day Carbine Marksmanship Course is an intensive, hands-on training program designed to equip students with the essential skills for effective and safe carbine operation, delivering 32 hours of instruction over four days (8 hours daily). The curriculum is delivered to two groups of up to 24 students, with Group 1 training on Days 1-2 and Group 2 on Days 3-4, receiving identical instruction that covers critical topics like the fundamentals of marksmanship to master sight alignment, trigger control, and stance, along with weapons manipulation for safe and efficient handling. Students will practice tactical and emergency reloads, learn to identify and clear malfunctions, and develop techniques for rapid target transitions, moving while shooting, and shooting from alternate supported and unsupported positions (prone, kneeling, standing), while also performing dynamic entry and exit drills. By combining classroom instruction, dry-fire drills, and live-fire exercises, this course ensures participants gain confidence and proficiency, providing a solid foundation for advanced carbine tactics and balancing speed with accuracy under pressure.
