  • By: Black Squadron Airsoft
  • Date: 09/19/2026


Dawn of the Divide is a force-on-force MILSIM event built around structure, pressure, and player-driven outcomes. This operation places two opposing factions into a contested region where control, disruption, and momentum decide the course of the fight. Every mission, movement, and decision contributes to the larger battle.

This is not a scripted experience. While the framework is established, the outcome is determined entirely by the players on the field. This is the Prequel event to December's Operation Black Divide.

  • By: Presscheck Training and Consulting

Train with CHUCK PRESSBURG in an intensive 3-day / 3-night course focused on how to safely design, set up, and execute unopposed CQB training using live fire or Sims/UTM in shoot houses or real-world structures. Using CQB 101 tactics as the framework, students learn how and why a run is built—from layout and target placement to accountability, safety controls, and AARs—while rotating through assaulter, observer, and safety roles.

This course is not an instructor certification, but it equips trainers with practical tools to run safer, more effective CQB evolutions and gives assaulters deeper understanding through hands-on runs conducted in day, low-light, and no-light conditions. Expect long training days (12–16 hours) with evolutions running as late as 0300 to maximize low-light training opportunities.

TEAM ROOM CLEARING | SYSTEMATIC STRUCTURE CLEARING

  • By: Warrior Poet Society
  • Start Date: 10/20/2026

One Man Room Clearing | CQB Tactics and Room Clearing Techniques

  • By: Warrior Poet Society
  • Start Date: 10/22/2026
  • End Date: 10/23/2026


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 CQB 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.

  • End Date: 12/07/2026


This class will cover many of the concepts, principals, and tactics associated with working in a team environment under night vision.
