Team Tactics With Vehicle Block

What You Will Learn

The Team Tactics with Vehicle Block course at Thunder Ranch is a three-day intensive course designed to equip you with the skills needed to handle defensive problems in and around vehicles and structures.

This course acknowledges the reality that we spend a great deal of time in and around structures, or traveling in vehicles. It addresses how to resolve threats in these environments, whether alone, with a partner, or in a small group.

Training includes the employment and carriage of handguns in vehicles, and a focus on strategies with partners to ensure the best possible outcomes in violent situations. You’ll practice working in and around vehicles and structures, coordinating movements solo, in pairs, and in small groups. The course also covers crucial medical considerations for managing injuries.

Understanding that many attacks occur while seated in a vehicle, you’ll learn to egress safely when driving away isn’t an option. The training emphasizes equipment manipulation (seat belts, doors, guns), marksmanship, communication and terrain management. A vehicle ballistics workshop is included.
