COURSE DESCRIPTION 

 

This dynamic 5-day/40hr course of instruction has been designed to provide trainees with initial instuction in close quarters battle and to instruct students in the individual, team and platoon level tactics, techniques and procedures and methodologies used by elite special operations units.
