The COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP (ADVANCED) COURSE is a two-day intensive marksmanship training designed to elevate individual skills beyond basic combat marksmanship.
The course is held by the Military Training Center and it's modeled after Special Operations Warfare training programs. It is designed to provide SOF combat marksmanship capabilities to military, law enforcement, and other government agencies. You will receive an intensive combat shooting training in reference to the military standards by highly qualified instructors - with years of verifiable real-world experience - coming from the NATO countries and friends’ Armed Forces. The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the combat marksmanship techniques and tactics used by the NATO Special Operations Forces.
During this course students, will be exposed to a building block training method, leading students to to effectively and efficiently engage targets of different sizes at various ranges with primary and secondary weapon systems. Being able to operate in adverse conditions, while under psychological and physical stress, maximizing survivability and lethality. Reinforcing the fundamentals of basic marksmanship and to enhance the soldier’s ability to perform Combat Marksmanship.
Basic theory and practice is taught so as to allow the students to understand and execute the close-quarter-combat shooting tactics and techniques. These training will take place both day & night and in all weather conditions. Short-range combat will be emphasized. Low-Light operations will be taught, conducted and evaluated. Tactics and techniques will be demonstrated to and practiced by each student - multiple times.
Be prepared for a very long live fire range days - this training will be up close and violently personal. Engaging the enemy at close distances takes fast reflexes, finely tuned weapons handling skills and an aggressive spirit... all of which you will be taught during the extremely fast paced training. Quickly acquiring and identifying your target and making the life or death decision to fire in a split second will be stressed during your training.
