HEAT 0.5 Combat Rifle September 7 – 8: Space Available

Space available on this class. Information in the link: HEAT 0.5 COMBAT RIFLE BOOK HERE.

Review & Perspective: HEAT 1 August 6 -11: Rich

The first thing we were told when the course started was that it would build rifle skills from the ground up. The second thing we were told was that it was an “accelerated small unit tactics course”. Both of these were accurate, and you can envisage all sorts of nonsense with these descriptions, so let […]

Upcoming Close Quarter Battle Course (CQBC): VTC, Romney, WV

We have the Close Quarter Battle Course (CQBC) coming up on September 13-15. There are still spaces available. OPEN ENROLLMENT. NO TRAINING PREREQUISITE. In any high threat situation you are likely to encounter structures that will require a tactical solution, and thus you need to understand how to deal with structure entry and clearance. Whether […]

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

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

The past weekend’s Force on Force event was by far the best one I have attended so far.  There are many reasons to why it was the best one, but the main reason is the new format.  Instead of dividing the attendees into two teams, the cadre had dedicated trained OPFOR for the student body […]

Force on Force Squad Tactics: New Class September 28/29.

Because of the excellent success of this past weekends new format Force on Force Class, now FoF Squad Tactics, I have scheduled another Force on Force Squad Tactics class on September 28-29. We have changed the class from the old FoF format to a ‘mini-CLC’ where we have a dedicated OPFOR and a dedicated squad […]
