The Night Raider Operations course is a night vision skill building event that will utilize live fire range time and a structure to conduct CQB while utilizing UTM or Simunitions.

NIGHT 1: will consist of getting everyone’s equipment setup properly and move into live fire range drills and instruction. Students will be working on the proper manipulation of their firearms while under no light scenarios using NODs.

NIGHT 2-3: Students will be introduced to team movement under NODs. Using night vision to clear structures is the pinnacle of combat operations.  Utilizing night vision can offer a massive advantage when utilized properly, but done improperly it can bring a multitude of problems.
