TEAM TACTICS | VEHICLE BLOCK

Team Tactics with Vehicle Block is one of the latest offerings from Thunder Ranch. The course is based on the premise that we are often mobile in vehicles or working around them while static, often with another person present.

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IN THE CLASS

Team Tactics with Vehicle Block is a three day course based on the reality that we are often either inside of structures, in transition between structures or mobile in vehicles.This course addresses considerations for resolving active threats by yourself, with a partner, or small group for all of these scenarios.

This course covers:

Considerations for resolving active threats by yourself, with a partner, or small group for all of these areas.

Employment and carriage of the handgun in the vehicle and working with a partner(s) to maximize the possibility of a successful outcome in a violent encounter.

Working around the vehicle(s).

Working as a solo person, pairs, and scaling a small group response to problems within structures or in transition between structures.

Medical considerations.

Of note: Many violent attacks occur while sitting in the vehicle and obviously the best reaction in most instances would be to step on the skinny pedal and drive away. Sometimes this is not a possibility and other options need to be explored. This vehicle portion will focus on safely egressing the vehicle and working around your partner in a fluid environment. Many factors and considerations come into play and will be discussed.

What you will do in class:

Work on egressing vehicles while

manipulating equipment (seat belt, door, gun, etc.)

Focus on handgun manipulation and

marksmanship

Use of the vehicle as cover until better cover is located

Communication with partners to facilitate

movement around the vehicle
