About the Event

To survive a vehicle ambush you must immediately change the dynamic by establishing dominance over the adversary. Students will learn to use the handgun to counter “near ambushes” (distances under 25 meters). VCAT 1 will cover the following topics:

• Demonstration of cover/concealment options around vehicles

• Counter-surveillance and pre-attack indicators

• Strategies to overcome near ambushes

• Live-fire shooting while seated in the vehicle

• Exiting the vehicle under fire

• Engaging targets while outside of the vehicle

• Force-on-force scenarios to validate training

Students must be U.S. citizens and legally allowed to possess a firearm. Students must know and exercise basic firearm safety rules and have a working knowledge of handguns (load/unload, clearance of stoppages, firearms fundamentals, etc.) Required Equipment:

• Eye protection

• Ear protection

• N95 Mask

• Gloves to protect against glass and sharp metal

• Long sleeve shirt for force-on-force scenarios
