Night Operations Class: Moved to 15-17 November

I have had to move the Night Operations class back by one week to the weekend of 15-17 November. This is due to a military unit coming in to train.

HEAT Night Operations is an annual class held at the 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. Also, we run a Night Operations class as part of the Texas Alumni Live Fire training week.

Prerequisites: HEAT 1 & HEAT 2.

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

NIGHT OPERATIONS CLASS PAGE

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).
