Hostage rescue operations are time sensitive, high-risk and require a robust and well-developed capability to ensure a successful outcome. Our Advanced Hostage Rescue course delivers current doctrine and provides students with leading edge hostage rescue tactics, techniques, and procedures.

As a student, you will receive education in hostage rescue tactics, core CQB rules, safety policies and procedures to avoid blue on blue situations, room geometry and entry positions for all team members as well as proper scanning procedures used to quickly clear the immediate fight-space. You will learn the priority of threat used for decision making and prioritizing threats to ensure risks are mitigated in the correct sequence.

During practical exercises you will learn how to properly stack at the door, signal that the team is ready and conduct two and four-man entry procedures during single and multi-room combat practice. After being deemed safe and competent, you will progress to conducting team level maneuvers to enter and clear hallways, intersections, and stairwells. You will then progress to full team, single point and multi-point assault training that will incorporate primary clearances, secondary clearances, and post assault procedures. Students will be taught how to set up a secure corridor within the stronghold and how to handle, move and process hostages and terrorists while on target before removing them and handing them over to external agencies.

This course will prepare you to make good tactical decisions during dynamic and fast paced situations and provide opportunities to exercise leadership, use of force policies, target discretion with shoot and no-shoot scenarios. You will participate in force on force, reality-based training exercises that will require you to act quickly and decisively in order to achieve the aim and safely rescue the hostages.
