This full day, non live fire course builds on the fundamental Close Quarters Battle (CQB) skills, tactics, techniques and mindset introduced and drilled in the CQB1 course. The course is ideal as a second day progression from CQB1, or for those already nominally versed in the principles of Close Quarters Battle and primary and secondary weapons manipulation.
The course is presented by members of our cadre; unique, multi-deployment experienced Operators from the US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
CQB2 builds from CQB1 with an additional focus on:
- 2 person and larger teams
- More complex and larger structures including multi-story stairway and building entry
- Higher degree tactical weapons precision, handling and manipulations
- More dynamic target systems
- Low light, low viz, and full dark environments
- Force on Force scenarios and considerations (included in select events only)
Training is conducted in our state of the art simulation environment (shoot house), maximizing realism and learning using:
- Our modular, reconfigurable, and environment-controlled simulation house,
- Professional grade MilSim (non-live fire) firearms
- 3D Reactive Targets, and Role Players in Full contact Blauer High Gear dynamic training suits
- After Action Reviews using the facility’s 16 night/day video system
The course utilizes classroom theory, active movement and dynamic shooting drills coupled with hyper-realistic, practical CQB problems designed to challenge you to solve efficiently and safely while maintaining situational awareness in the dynamic 360 degree, 3 dimensional environment. Students will be constantly assessed, coached and mentored by our qualified Combat experienced instructor staff in order to reinforce and cement these newly learned skills and tactics.
