Conducting tactical operations using Night Vision (NV) equipment requires knowledge, understanding, and tactical competency with both NV equipment and tactics. 1 Minute Out and Emerging Tactical Solutions have combined forces to offer our NVG Operator Course. This is a course we developed and have trained hundreds of Local, County, State and Federal SWAT Officers throughout the United States. We take a crawl, walk, run format to this training as we believe it is important to form a solid foundation to build on. We teach tactically sound techniques and procedures. This course is restricted to LE/MIL and is the ONLY NVG Course to be adopted by the National Tactical Officers Association as an official NTOA course offering.
Available as a 2, 3, or more day custom course that covers a systematic approach to equipment selection, it’s use, advantages and limitations. We cover legal and training issues, as well as operational considerations through classroom discussions, practical exercises, live fire range drills, and scenario based field problems using marking rounds. We travel nationwide to offer this training and can customize this course to meet your needs. In this course we combine the best of both L.E. Tactical use of NVG’s and the best in U.S. Military Special Operations TTP’s and lessons learned providing you with the most comprehensive and relevant information on the use of NVG’s.
