556 Advanced Carbine
The advanced carbine class has been renowned by combat veterans from every theatre of U.S. operations in the last 35 years.
556 is the course for those who will settle for no less than being the master of the carbine.

Advanced manipulations, short reaction times and quick transitions to the secondary weapon are stressed in this fast-paced, hard-driving course. As the master of the carbine, you will shoot well, on the move, in any direction of travel relative to the targets. You will shoot from unconventional, but effective positions.
