Course Description:
A three day class on how to fight with the carbine. This is not shooting polka dots, but is a condensed version of what we are using today.

This class is moderately physical and will cover the following topics: 4 Safety Rules, Combat Triad, The Modern Technique, Tactical doctrine of the carbine, Ballistic Theory, Basic marksmanship theory, Ammunition selection, Weapon selection, Optical and iron sights, Weapon Mounted Lights, Weapon manipulation, The fighting stance, Tactical and speed reloading, Conventional and unconventional prone positions, Intermediate positions, BZO doctrine, Fighting from contact to 100 meters, Standard and Non Standard Response, Multiple target engagement, Malfunction reduction, Stepping off the line of attack, Shooting with movement, Shooting on the move, Pistol Transition- including presentation, reloading and malfunction reduction.

Equipment:

• A good attitude.
• A serviceable 5.56mm Carbine. What you bring is not as important as the fact that it works. Having a spare extractor/ spring is not a bad idea. Bring the lube of your choice. But bring lube.
• 1400 Rounds of serviceable carbine ammunition; 250 rounds pistol ammunition.
• A minimum of three serviceable magazines for the carbine. More are obviously better- the less jamming of magazines you do during the day, the more time to learn how to fight.
• The carbine needs a sling. A tac sling works better, but any sling will do.
• A means to carry at least two carbine magazines on your person.
• If you have a red dot sight, bring spare batteries.
• A serviceable pistol, with three serviceable magazines.
• A holster and magazine pouch.
• Eye and earpro, as well as a baseball type hat.
• Water. A CamelBak is ideal, but be prepared to hydrate.
• Knee and elbow pads.
• Pen/ pencil.
