Combat Patrol / Direct Action August 3 – 6: 3 Spaces Available


To be truly dangerous to your enemies, train at MVT.


We have 3 spaces available on the August 3 – 6 Combat Patrol / Direct Action class. This is a 4 day class and the only one running this year at the VTC Romney. The only other 4 Day Combat Patrol / Direct Action that we run, is run in Texas in February. It is not too late to book this class. The prerequisite is attendance on Combat Team Tactics.

This is an essential class that moves you beyond the basics of the Combat team tactics class and teaches you applicable combat tactics for defending your base. If you have enemies threatening the safety of your people in a collapse or emergency situation,  this class will teach you the TTPs to make yourself truly dangerous to them.

COMBAT PATROL / DIRECT ACTION PAGE

There is no overnight on this class. It is a 4 day class that is divided into specific topics per day. The focus is on learning, rather than hardship.

Please note that for the day 1, Combat Team Tactics live fire revision portion, you will also be updated with changes to the taught techniques on the MVT live fire ranges, such as the incorporation of mannequins on the objective in the vicinity of the electronic pop-up targets for a more realistic ‘assault through’ TTP.
