TRIARC Systems and Z Bar Supply will be hosting Tactical Options Night Vision Operator Close Quarters Combat Course 17-19 February 2020. This 30-hour program is restricted to Law Enforcement and Military personnel. The program is designed to enhance and increase mission readiness to law enforcement tactical teams on their application of Night Vision Devices and weapon capabilities in a close-quarters environment.

*** Attending officers will receive certification for 30 TCOLE hours after completion of the course (Texas law enforcement). ***

The officer and team will be trained on the principles and fundamentals of CQB while under Night Vision Devices. Officers will execute progressive stages in training on advanced clearing methods under night vision devices, surreptitious close quarters clearing techniques, non-verbal communication methods with IR lasers, Initiative based tactics, and CQB procedural flows. Team / Unit SOP will be developed through multi-team hasty and deliberate clearing methods, no-light ballistic and mechanical breach point techniques, white light clearance vs NVG and IR laser, threat reduction measures, and target discrimination applications while under NVGs. These critical skillsets are designed to enhance Law Enforcements tactical capability, efficiency, accountability and decision making, and accuracy of performance when faced with high-risk warrants or crisis situations that require the employment of night vision devices.

EOTECH will be providing a limited supply of NVGs in support of this program. This is to assist officers seeking knowledge and research on how the device and/or model can enhance your department/team’s mission capability. Additionally, attending students will have the opportunity to try other L3 models and provide practical data to their respected team looking to advance from current models.
