Team Leader Class (2-day) $300
The Team Leader Class is a 2-day non-firing course of instruction designed to teach students to be effective small-unit leaders. You will learn how to organize effectively into fire teams and squads, and how to take full advantage of commonly available, specialized weapons. We will cover how to use team-based training to mold a group of willing volunteers into a cohesive fighting force. Finally, you will lead a team of fellow students in a series of battle drills to get the experience you need to apply what you’ve learned on your own.
Team Leader II (3-day) $500
This class builds on the basic skills learned in the Team Leader Class and adds a heavy emphasis on mission planning and tactics. This class consists of 1 day of instruction in mission planning, troop leading, and combat leadership. Students spend the remaining 2 days in the field leading a team in the Force-on-Force Lab for raw practical application of everything they've learned. This class is only open to graduates of the Team Leader Class.

Training is conducted using either blanks or airsoft.
