Ballistic Response Against Violent Encounters – Carbine

BRAVE Carbine is the next addition to the BRAVE curriculum.   In BRAVE Carbine, we’ll operate in teams of 2 to eight right from the start of the class!  Like other BRAVE classes, we’ll begin with a day of carbine skill spin up to knock off the rust and add new course specific skills. After that, we’ll move to home defense, hostage rescue, dismounted reaction to contact, reaction to mass attacks, mounted operations (meaning….working in and around vehicles) and finally, we’ll head out to the Veil and Monster and put our newly developed skills to the test in live fire scenarios!  Like other BRAVE classes, BRAVE Carbine is a “Train the Trainer” level class.
