Vehicle Defense Course was designed to simulate the stressors of a vehicle gun fight. The course will introduce students to effective vehicle defense planning, different stressors in this situation, mobility, and ways to maximize weapon effectiveness while navigating in and out of vehicles. While this is not the goal of the course, students may work with others in groups to maximize training and learn proper team communications. This is a fast-paced, hands-on course with live-fire drills that focuses on dominating the target and ultimately increasing the chances of survivability. This is not a beginners course. Students must demonstrate and understand proper safety and weapon handling. The course requires shooters to be confident in their shooting and physical abilities. This course is approximately 8 hours.
The course is open to law abiding citizens, current and former military, and law enforcement.
