We have the Close Quarter Battle Course (CQBC) coming up on September 13-15. There are still spaces available. OPEN ENROLLMENT. NO TRAINING PREREQUISITE.

Review: OPFOR Perspective: Force on Force Squad Tactics – July 20-21 – Sean

I have now had the privilege of training at the VTC from right at zero degrees F to over 100 degrees F! Always a good time. The July FoF was the most recent iteration I have attended, in this case as OPFOR. I attended several other FoF classes prior to this recent class. I very […]

Stomping on Sacred Cows: The Flat Range Game, and the Fallacy of Divorcing Shooting from Tactics

Over the last 24 hours I have posted on Instagram critical of Lucas at Trex Arms. This has made for an interesting 24 hours. In fact, pure madness. There is a cult-like following which has been smashing up my IG comment feed. It’s sort of crazy, because once mobilized these self-described ‘weaponized autists’ genuinely think […]

Review: Force on Force Squad Tactics – July 20-21 – ‘Pedro’

If your goal with tactical training is to learn (as I hope it would be) The new Heat FOF is maybe the best all-around class you can take regardless of your experience level. For those who don’t have much in the way of tactical training, it’s an immersive, safe way to be “thrown to the […]

Review: Force on Force Squad Tactics – July 20-21 – Dimitry

Review: Force On Force Squad Tactics, July 20 – 21, by Jack

I attended Combat Team Tactics (now HEAT 1) back in 2016.  I also attended HEAT 2 last year.  I have read the Tactical Manual.  I thought that I would be good to go.  Going into the HEAT FOF I pictured four man teams patrolling through the woods getting contact right, getting on line, and peeling […]
