Introducing: HEAT NIGHT OPERATIONS

HEAT Night Operations is an entirely new class. The Night Firing option which was held as part of HEAT 1 classes has been removed, and replaced with a full HEAT Night Operations class.

The first and final class for 2019 is scheduled 15-17 November. This class is in fact two nights of nocturnal tactical activity, so we are looking at a Friday PM arrival, and completion after the second training night on the Sunday morning.

The prerequisites for this class are HEAT 1 & HEAT 2. This class is absolutely serious nighttime tactical training, building on lessons learned in the previous classes, operating at night by night vision. It requires specific equipment which must be provided by the students.

Max Velocity Tactical offers nothing less than excellence in Tactical Training for the motivated citizen. HEAT NIGHT OPERATIONS is our new pinnacle live fire class.

For those who still require HEAT 2, we have a class coming up August 22-25. LINK TO BOOK.

Info from the Class Information Page:

HEAT Night Operations is a biannual class held at the start and end of the year. This is a two-night class held over a Friday and Saturday night which is primarily nocturnal in nature. This class combines training developed over previous MVT Classes and combines it into full night operations.

Prerequisites: HEAT 1 & HEAT 2. You must have trained with MVT within 6 months of the Night Operations Class. 

Note: You must bring your own equipment (see below).

NIGHT OPERATIONS

HEAT NIGHT OPERATIONS is designed to develop competence in night vision equipment, weapon and aiming devices followed by conduct of tactical live fire operations in a controlled training environment. Students will learn how to integrate different systems to allow them to effectively use their weapon at night. Students will also be shown combat proven TTPs for night time operations. Students will get the most out of this class if they come with quality night vision, a reliable weapon and some form of infrared aiming laser (see below).
