SMALL UNIT TACTICS HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING OF WARFARE.

This is a non-live fire course. The course focuses on developing skills in applying tactics dynamically, and integrates UTM/Simunitions as a feedback and reinforcement mechanism.

The Northern Red Tactical Team Foundations course will provide students with the confidence and skills needed to effectively shoot, move, and communicate as part of a team in any environment. Whether working in two-man teams or larger, one must be able to instinctively apply Small Unit Tactics in order to be successful against the opposition.

The course begins with Individual Movement Techniques, which are the basis for Small Unit Tactics, and systematically builds to force-on-force scenarios where teams will have to employ immediate action drills to succeed.

COURSE CONTENT:

  • Combat mindset

  • Individual/team movement techniques

  • Immediate action drills

  • Troop leading procedures

  • Movement formations
