Close Quarters Combat (CQC) – Force on Force
Course Description:
Our Close Quarters Combat – Force on Force course is an immersive, high-intensity training experience designed for students of all skill levels. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned operator, this class delivers real-world application of Close Quarters Combat (CQC) tactics through safe, controlled, and dynamic scenarios.
Using the cutting-edge Unit Solutions Unit 4 Training Rifles, which fire non-lethal 8mm marking cartridges, students will engage in realistic force-on-force encounters. These training rifles provide a highly effective and low-risk platform for learning and testing room-clearing techniques, threat discrimination, team communication, and rapid decision-making under pressure.
Unlike static drills or paper targets, force-on-force training adds the crucial elements of unpredictability and resistance, challenging students to apply their tactics against thinking, reacting opponents. Each scenario is carefully designed to reinforce proper fundamentals while exposing gaps in technique—making this one of the most effective ways to truly understand and refine your CQC skills.
This course prioritizes safety, realism, and performance under stress, ensuring every student walks away more confident, capable, and combat-effective. If you’re serious about improving your survivability in confined, hostile environments, this is the training you’ve been looking for
