Why/What

Because capability matters.

In today’s world, you must ask yourself:

• What is my role in an emergency?

• Entries — How do we move through structures as a disciplined team?

This one day event is about answering those questions with skill, confidence, and standards.  This is part of the 4 day overall event but for locals or those that only wish to travel for one day, you can partake in the entries training.  3,000+ sqft shoot house, learn team and individual tactics to make entry and assess a active threat in order to make decisions in Reality Based training Scenarios.

Let’s get to work.
