Combat Leader Course – Dates Published, Available to Book!!!
The 2019 Combat Leader Course will run 6 – 13 October.
There is space for a squad of 13 Students, and 4 – 6 OPFOR.
This is an excellent class / training experience; this will be the third annual iteration.
The class will be run with AirSim (more info here). During use at the 2018 CLC, and recently at the Texas Class, AirSim is proving to be an excellent training aid for Force on Force, with great range and reliability. It works better than UTM in rural combat simulation environments, and is significantly cheaper, knocking a huge part off the price off this class. Better training outcomes at a cheaper price – what is not to like!
AirSim school rifles are provided. It is recommended, for your own training use and further training value, to purchase an upgraded Gas Blow Back AirSim rifle, such as the PTS MEGA ARMS MKM AR15, available via the MVT Store HERE.
Prerequisites: There are no defined prerequisites for this class, we only ask that you honestly assess whether you have sufficient previous experience to have an understanding about squad level small unit tactics. This class will develop your tactical and leadership abilities. In order to be better prepared, attendance on HEAT 1, HEAT 2 and Force on Force Team Tactics is the gold standard. MVT training classes are available this year prior to the CLC – take advantage of them. Training Calendar.
This class is invaluable in terms of lessons learned for difficult times ahead!
Are you serious about being hard to kill, a true danger to those who would see you harmed? If so, train with MVT; we offer the pinnacle of professional small unit tactics training for the armed citizen.

How it works:
