TEAM CQB (FORCE ON FORCE)

Master the art of coordinated close-quarters battle as a structured team—through real tactics, real threats, and real pressure.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is where individual skill gives way to collective precision.

Team CQB is an advanced close-quarters battle course that trains 4–6-person teams to operate with tactical clarity and cohesion in structure-based environments. Building on the fundamentals of 1- and 2-man CQB, this course introduces multi-room flow, cross-coverage, hallway dominance, and full-structure clears under live pressure—both through dry runs and force-on-force engagements.

Students will learn to communicate with purpose, solve complex geometry problems in real-time, and engage threats with speed, violence of action, and restraint. Live role-players, opposing teams, and dynamic injects create a learning environment where performance is tested and trust is forged.

This is not just a training class—it’s an operational rehearsal.
