Struggling with the armed opponents in the Northern Red-Advanced Close Quarters Battle Course.
You have become the king of paper targets. You and your team can enter the room and move around furniture, friendship and debris just to clean smoke their targets clearly identified as the bad guy. But what if, as in real life, the target moves, armed and shoot back? Everything changes.
Exercise trained to come undone, supporting members break down, mistakes are made and good people were killed. Paper is great for learning the basics, but until your target is as committed to fight you, it's all just kabuki. But Northern Red Training brings battle-tested team of experts from the most elite American unit into a world-class facility in North Carolina to teach the final and most important element in gunfighting-armed opponents.
Armed Oponents
"It is impossible to simulate combat," Zack said Harrison, a former member of the Army's special operations and lead North Red instructor. "We make our training as realistic as possible and stress. Entering opposition to the training allows us to do things we could not otherwise do. First, vet our tactics, techniques and procedures. Many times, especially in the law enforcement community, have opponents armed not part of the training, and there is no way to test the validity of the training. They hit the same house, the same walk and finally run the gaming facilities on their own. Unfortunately, that usually results in waiting until the shooting is real to tease out the weak spots. In our view, the wrong answer. We want our students to not only see that the tactics work against the armed opposition, but to build confidence around skills before the battle. "
Stress opposition in training is also a way for teammates veterinarian. "The opposition say immediately how an individual reacts under pressure," said Harrison. With some regularity, if the competent members will fold, or reacted badly, when faced with a determined enemy. "Round the simulation is not the same as a real battle, but they hurt. There was no response either from the penalty immediately get shot. Some students can garner, gather ourselves and improve while others will break down or stop."
Building A Base
Northern Red begins with a departure from traditional methodology. Home facility is Oak Grove Training Center in Hoffman, NC 8,000 square meter facility was designed with input from the Northern Red Tom Spooner, and has shoothouse with moving walls for the traditional entry and clearing walks and simulation shoothouse housing upstairs. The operator can go from modern living room to the bedroom and bathroom, and so on, to deal with transitions and realistic scenarios. Realism provides several advantages. Teams can practice the basics and then move to a more varied and realistic environment, and then return to the lower level to play back and practice the part where teamwork is damaged.
Making entry into the room, especially where residents can expect you, is the point where most teams could be compromised. For this purpose, the simple act of stacking door with four to five teams and choose how to enter are covered in depth and with some repetition. Northern Red supporters "push and go" techniques to an open door and the "pull and hold" for the open door. This means that the second person in the stack can be the first person in the room and must be ready to assume that role depends on what team meeting. This allows the team to move from room to room and door to door without reshuffled every time they have to enter space.
Under Pressure
Learning and drilling fundamentals while making tactical decisions and navigation is something most small unit practice, and students usually come with a basic understanding of how to move with the team in a building. However, those who are not accustomed to being shot at receiving rough and eye-opening experience when armed opponents waiting behind the door. The Northern Red cadres consider this a place where true progress begins. According to Spooner, "This is where the training of their minds and manage stress begins. We apply both standard shooting (target selection and accuracy) and standard time. They are forced to manage the stress of all these factors. Some come unglued, some frozen, and others find a way to push through it. "
Northern Red urgent decision breaks into two common alternatives. Either the structure only needs to be cleaned and deemed hostile or hostages in the building with hostiles and speed are the main consideration. Non-hostage scenario is drilled first, because it allows the team to methodically move through space and deal with opposition such as those encountered. However, as soon as the targets shoot back and move deeper into the structure, much of what the team has been practicing for several days out of the window. Shooter bunch up, miss the target, shooting friendship and otherwise behave as a beginner. But this reaction is expected in the Northern Red, and the shooter brought back to the basics of assessing and engaging immediate threat, sticking their sectors of fire and moved to the point of dominance in the room. A learning cycle appear, and most shooters find ways to manage stress and put hits on target just as moving as a team.
The main scenario comes when the team is required to clear the space under time constraints. Ratchets pressure as there was no time to breathe and reset between rooms, to assess the hallways or optimizing shooter heap. Just when the team thought they had mastered the run, Northern Red can move the walls, placing obstacles along the route, add a shooter or tighten standards. This will force the operator to ask difficult questions about why they do what they do in their units.
For Kevin Burger, the impact of training and significant variable. "For me, no background CQB, it was like practicing with NFL teams, learning new guidelines, and every down you switch positions and should know what to do. Stress addition of someone adept at shooting back at you seem to expose any weaknesses in Your tactics. "

“We want our students to not only see that the tactics work against the armed opposition, but to build confidence around skills before combat.”Learning how consistent and safe for analyzing and move through the layout and architecture of the building and make navigation decisions that do not leave un-cleared roads of approach to armed enemy takes some practice, but the team Red North bucketing process broke the same type of door, room, hallways and stairs. By simplifying the basic building blocks of the structure, decision making becomes faster for team leaders and more adaptable to team members. Students also learn simple but effective method that flows through the space, keeping their eyes on the front of their guns and see the red dots of their optical and their targets to a more consistent shot placement.
