ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE GUNFIGHTER 1 COURSE.​

This is the last in the series of Gunfighter Courses. In this course, the student will learn to move as a team, using individual Movement techniques, bounding and maneuver, and use of cover. This course like all the rest has night shooting as well. The student will use the handheld light and weapon-mounted tactical lights in training drills from shooting while moving and maneuver using cover as a single man in a tactical situation. Day two turns into team dynamics with vehicle bail out and maneuver 

The urban movement course is an introduction to individual movement techniques in built-up areas like cities and streets. This course utilizes Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) Man Marker Rounds (MMR) for safety and is included in the cost of the course. If you are caught out on the street in a firefight and don't know how to move utilizing the surrounding area you will fail and be exposed to fire. This can be a deadly cost to you. The use of hidden areas and denying exposure is one of the keys to survival in an urban gunfight.
