VCAT 4

VCAT 4

This class takes VCAT to the next level.  The class starts off with malfunction clearance drills for both pistol and rifle.  Next, basic casualty care skills are introduced.  As the day builds, shooters will have to overcome injuries and weapon stoppages while countering ambushes. While working in teams, shooters will have to shoot, move, communicate, AND provide casualty care under fire.

Prerequisite:  Students must have completed VCAT 1 and 2 prior to enrolling in this course.
