A standard class length would be two days, depending on location and requirements.

The class can focus on any of the following areas:

• Family/Group ‘bug out’ in a hostile environment.
• Hostile environment convoy operations.
• Tactical employment of vehicles as a mobility asset.
• Use of mobility platforms in patrolling.
• Offensive & defensive uses of vehicles.

‘Vehicles’ can include any of your standard cars, pickups, SUVs, and also other mobility platforms such as ATVs.

Private Training Area requirements:

The MVT facility in WV is suitable location for ATV-based trainiing if you wish to trailer in your ATVs. It is not suitable for vehicle convoy operations. Many of the vehicle convoy drills can be accomplished on a suitable stretch of private road, even a driveway maybe 200 yards long. Open areas/fields can also be used. More in depth movement and tactical operations require a network of vehicle suitable roads/tracks.

Training can be conducted with a mixture of dry, with airsoft, blanks or live. To conduct live training, vehicles must be able to drive onto a suitable live firing area. A standard berm range can be used in this way, if the backstop is long enough. Full safety will be implemented to MVT live firing standards.

Below: A live fire training session from Fallujah in 2006, focusing on vehicle and dismounted break contact drills. The drills are not perfect, it was an internal team training day, not a demonstration video. It serves as a good example of possible hostile environment break contact drills. Not included in the video is the ‘all vehicles immobilized’ scenario.
