Exercise: Broken Crown

Service Description

This exercise simulates a real-world reconnaissance and interdiction mission against a hostile element known to be planning coordinated aggression against a homestead or strategic safe zone. Personnel will conduct a covert infill, observe and identify a high-value target (HVT), neutralize the threat from a distance, confirm the kill, retrieve sensitive materials, and execute a successful exfiltration.  This 18-hour course simulates a real-world tactical operation, focusing on infiltration, target engagement, and extraction. Students will progress through foundational firearms training, tactical maneuvers, and a culminating field exercise. They are responsible for planning their infiltration and extraction, packing their own supplies (e.g., ammo, water, food, gear), and applying learned skills in a realistic scenario across challenging terrain. Objectives: Master firearms handling and marksmanship at varying distances. Learn and apply tactics (patrolling, observation posts, flanking, sensitive site exploitation). Develop skills in positional shooting and recon-style engagement. Plan and execute a foot-based infiltration, target engagement at unknown distance, and extraction.
