MDFI ALUMNI ONLY
DESCRIPTION:

Class Flow: PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY INTENSE This is a Force-On-Force class. You may be put into situations where you are shot at by UTM (Ultimate Training Munition) projectiles while wearing issued safety gear (see: they hurt / sting).

We train and train and train for what will hopefully never happen. As we live and work to enjoy our life of liberty and freedom, there is always someone who is willing to try and take that from us. That being said, life is not all about worrying about all of the bad, but it does warrant the conscious thought that bad things can occur and that being as prepared as possible is far better than never readying ourselves.

MDFI’s The Human Element will put you, your training, your life experiences, the way you interact with others and your environment all to the test.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS:

The ultimate problem-solving class. There are no more paper targets. You and your actions will determine the outcome of this class. This is the class for the person who wants a litmus test of their place as a responsibly-armed citizen. You will test your use of verbal skills, intermediate force and lethal force skills, articulation and understanding of constitutional use of force. This class is about a desire for feedback and improving yourself as a responsible member of society. You will be immersed in situations with a cadre of role players to truly test how you deal with realistic life scenarios that encompass all use of force levels and types of situations a person may encounter.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS NOT:

This is not paintball. This is not time to play shoot ‘em up with UTMs for fun. If you are an unsafe gun handler, lack a proper skills foundation, or have poor emotional control don’t even hover near the register button. This is for the serious student looking to better themselves.

NOTE: THIS CLASS IS UTM/SIM ONLY AT AN INDOOR SHOOTHOUSE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SIMULATE COMMON OCCUPIED STRUCTURES. LIVE WEAPONS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED* Please carry to class as legally warranted. Cadre will notify students of proper range-safety procedures prior to training.

Low light opposed is our three day program that was created to combine our low light applications courses with reality based training with non-lethal training ammunition. Low light opposed focuses on how to effectively work in a low light environment while understanding the primary flashlight applications, techniques, and search methods on the carbine & handgun platform.

Our goal is to aid in building confidence during low light structure work and help reduce the "lag time" during common issues found in structure procedures. This course will help to create a better understanding of reduced personnel patrol structure mechanics (2-3 man) and close quarter battle procedures combined with Reality Based Training (RBT) and Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) and Non-Lethal Weapons.

Students will be introduced to CQB workshops, force on target, light force and finally force on force. Low light opposed will validate techniques & applications through force on target than evolving to force on force. Come prepared mentally & physically.

INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT LIST

• Approximately at least 400 rounds of handgun and 400 rounds of carbine ammunition 

• NLTA Handgun & Carbine conversion including at least 200 rounds of handgun and carbine NLTA ammunition (limited supplies will be available & provided). Any marking system is acceptable.

• Sturdy Holster w/ Belt 

• Magazine pouches

• Handheld light (mandatory) Weapon light (optional, but recommended)

• Spare batteries for light systems

• 2 glow sticks

• Ear and eye protection (clear eye protection for low light)

• Comfortable clothing used for strenuous activity (Pants only)

• Food and Beverage (highly recommended)

• Note taking material (optional)

TWO DAY FORMAT - NLTA (SIMMS, UTM) ONLY​

This isn’t a class for new shooters. This is geared towards people that already shoot USPSA, understand scoring and safety rules, and want to improve.

Students should leave class with an idea about how to dry practice more efficiently and how to improve the foundation skills for USPSA.

Course Overview

This is one of Warrior Poet Society’s most under-valued courses, as many think it’s only something for SWAT teams and military members. The reality is that every patrol officer answering a call, every civilian investigating a ‘bump in the night’, and really, every person who comes in harms way in or around any structure is engaging in room clearing. This is high-stakes chess and the unforgiving game of angles. Here, pistol / rifle skills graduate into something far more important: tactics. All military, law enforcement, and civilians are welcome to attend this 2 day course, pending legal possession of a firearm and US citizenship. Students will learn timeless tactical principles and combat-proven, deliberate clearing techniques, which will enable them to spot the threats much earlier and avoid getting ambushed.

Additional Information

This class is a mix between classroom time, drills, force-on-target, and force-on-force exercises. The course will review different types of clearing methods and display the various tactics that make them successful. For single-man clearing outside of an active shooter scenario, we will major on more deliberate clearing methods. This course does not have any live fire. You may run the course with your AR-15 / m4 carbine and one of our conversion kits, and/or a Glock 17 pistol (we will provide). Face masks will also be provided, as well as ammunition. You will need to bring other protective gear such as thicker clothing, neck protection, gloves, baseball cap, etc.

Who Can Attend?

• All U.S citizens ages 18 and up that are legally allowed to own/purchase/possess a firearm and who have completed an introductory firearm safety course. Minors are not permitted.

• You must have an intermediate/advanced level of training in pistol and/or rifle and be able to provide proof of training. You will be tied to whatever weapon system in which you have adequate training. If you are trained in both, you will be able to switch intermittently if you so choose.

What Do You Need?

• A quality semi-automatic AR / M4 / AK platform (Glock 17 force-on-force guns provided)

  • Equipped with a Rifle Sling and Red Dot. If you could, a weapon light is recommended.

• If you have a holster for Glock, bring it!

• At least 1 magazine holster

• Wrap around eye protection

• Water/snacks

• Clothing suitable for inclement weather

• Shemagh

• Sock hat

This three-day, 24-hour program is designed to train current or prospective SWAT Medics/Tactical Emergency Services (TEMS) technicians with the knowledge and ability to provide lifesaving and sustaining immediate trauma care techniques and tools in support of police SWAT operations. The course is open to Paramedics, EMTs (B) and Law Enforcement officers.

This dynamic course will provide students with the knowledge to understand tactical situations and to apply life-saving strategies to traumatic injuries which they may encounter as the primary medical technicians on SWAT teams or other tactical units. Students will learn and practice the proper use and limitations of field expedient trauma equipment and skills to include tourniquets, pressure dressings, occlusive dressings, combat gauze, wound packing, pressure points, airway management, etc. Students will also learn how to use improvised tools and materials to treat traumatic injuries when commercial equipment is not available.

Students will be guided through tactical decision-making processes, conducting effective triage of injured victims and the specific intervention methods to apply based on an understanding of the different zones of operation within tactical incidents. Students will then be given opportunities to assess their tactical decision-making processes and the proper use of medical interventions within various scenario-based training modules.

Required Equipment:

- Notebook and pen
- Helmet
- Tactical vest
- Tactical belt
- Ballistic eyewear
- Med bag (we will provide training equipment but students may want to their own setup)
