Why this program is needed:

With decades of  various Combat training with Private Armed Security, Police, and Army SF  we came to conclusions : 

  • Most Tactical Firearms courses (programs) are typical Basic Army Shooting courses with some funny stuff from Sport Practical Shooting drills and fancy show of various combat uniforms and gear.

  •   Plus most Tactical Firearms courses (programs) are built for big Teams with proper Logistic and Power Support.

  • Our program is designed for Small Bodyguard (CPO) Groups (1-5 operatives) operating in a Hostile Environment without any logistics and Power Support. 

  • Our concept - Task Orientated Adaptation and Improvisation to Perform Effectively and Safely through a Real Fire-Fight.

Our project was built keeping in mind, that Situation Determines Preparation :

  • Achieve that and Train to Respond to Real-world threats;
  • How to Perform Effectively through a Fire-Fight;

  • Combat Preparedness;

  1. Skill Level: Bio-mechanics, Weapon Handling, and Movement (One-Hit Qualification Baseline + Engagement and TeamWork
  2. Stress Level: Utilizing Fear and Eliminating Anxiety (Getting from Beta wave to Alpha wave-Using Breathing and Impulse Acceleration)
  3. Killing Enabling Factors: Survival Mindset achieved through Practical Exercises (not just theory) - Rules of Engagement: The level of force is determined by the assailant! :

  • Immediate danger vs Immanent danger;
  • Go! – Don’t Go! vs Hesitation
  • Spontaneous and adaptive Response vs reflex Reaction
  • Move mindset from -“What if…?” to “IF …THEN!”

DEFENSIVE TACTICS: TACTICAL FIREARMS FOR BODYGUARDS (structure):

Unit Title (if different from the program) :
1.     Theory, Principles, Safety


Learning Outcomes – The learner will understand :

1.1  Laws and Regulations

Assessment Criteria – the learner can  state what is a:

1.1.1   Reasonable Force;
Necessary - Reasonable in Circumstances - Proportional

1.1.2   Deadly Force (Killing Enabling Factors)
 Remsberg (1986) states:

 Survivability for prepared individual:
 
                                                                        75%     mental preparation
                                                                        15%     skill
                                                                        5%       physical ability
                                                                        5%       luck
 
Survivability for unprepared individual:
 
                                                                        5%       mental preparation
                                                                        15%     skill
                                                                        5%       physical ability
                                                                        75%     luck
 
Luck is not a factor that is dependable!
 
Survival Mindset achieved through Practical Exercises (not just theory):
  • Understanding theory is necessary but not sufficient in itself. 
  • Reality-based scenarios should reconstruct situations that practically test the survival mindset.


1.1.3   Rules of Engagement (Level of force is determined by the assailant! ):

i
t is the immediate danger presented by the threat that determines the level of response required – mere presence, tactical communication, physical intervention, lethal force.
 
Immediate hot-debriefs after an action scenario is useful to require shooters to account for their decisions. This will help to eliminate the “freeze” mindset of hesitation in the face of conflicting psychological tensions around the use of force, situational awareness, and decision-making

  • Immediate danger vs Immanent danger
 The danger must be immediate to justify the use of lethal force. Drills should simulate the transition from imminent to immediate danger.

  • Go! – Don’t Go! vs Hesitation
  • Spontaneous and adaptive Response vs reflex Reaction
Situational awareness of the circumstances alongside reality-based scenarios will help to cultivate spontaneous and adaptive responses rather than the reflex reaction that is unfocused and dangerous. Drills can be constructed to develop rapid recovery time from the shock of ambush.
 
The use of lethal force, whilst justified, might not be necessary. Training scenarios differentiate between circumstances where the balance of restraint is weighed up and decisions are made on the basis of necessity and proportionality and not only on justification. (e.g. You may be justified in shooting a hostage-taker but it might not be necessary. This is why SWAT team snipers, even if they have a target, obtain clearance from command structures before taking the shot.)

  • Move mindset from -“What if…?” to “IF …THEN!”
  1.  “What if …?” mindset induces anxiety and worry.
  2. “If… then!” mindset is borne out of training, preparation, adaptability, and improvisation.
