SSD is very excited to announce this course. Combining pistol, carbine, shotgun, and combatives into a single 7-day course, Redback One is hosting what looks to be the Ultimate Close Quarters Combat course in Virginia Beach, Virginia 4-10 June, 2011. While the main intent of the course is hand-to-hand combatives, it features two days of combat marksmanship at the beginning. The course is all about combatives teaching the student to rely on not only the primary weapon system, but also the secondary, tertiary and alternates as well. Furthermore, the course has been designed specifically for Special Operations personnel with a heavy emphasis on overseas direct action mission skills. This intense training package will be led by a Subject Matter Expert with multiple combat tours.
Due to course content it is restricted to Military and Federal Agencies and I know from discussing the training regimen with them that they would like to see unit/agency teams go through together. But they are also open to SMEs so that they can pass their knowledge on to small unit in-house trainers as well as formal instructors from military and government schoolhouses. For those of you who are interested in the particulars make the jump to the full article
Redback One will be conducting a (7) Day SOF COMBATIVES course, scheduled for the 04-10 June 2011 in the Virginia Beach, VA area. Exact venue data will be provided to confirmed students.

SOF COMBATIVES COURSE
COURSE INTRODUCTION:
The SOF Combatives Course is designed to enable military personnel to maintain or regain the initiative in the event that use of the primary and or secondary weapon has been negated by circumstance. This course feeds of the synergy created by the Combat Marksmanship Training Course (CMTC) and provides the operator with a lethal and less than lethal option. This course has been designed to maximize the individual skills of the operator and create opportunities for team members to assist where the situation dictates. This course is aimed at teaching the student sound core skills which can be employed with discretion to suit a wide spectrum of operations.
