Course Description:

The Small Unit Tactics Basic (SUTB) course is focused on developing foundational skills for small-unit operations in wooded and open terrain. The training introduces structured team and squad-level procedures required for coordinated movement, communication, and engagement in rural environments. Participants train in camouflage, fieldcraft, navigation, and patrol procedures while building disciplined reaction drills to contact and threat situations. Emphasis is placed on coordination within fire teams and larger elements, situational awareness, and controlled maneuver under realistic field conditions.

Contents:

Fundamental theory of small-unit operations in rural environments; camouflage techniques and fieldcraft principles; preparation and configuration of equipment for field deployment; non-verbal communication and hand signal systems; basic field navigation and orientation; patrol procedures for fire team and squad-level elements; reaction to contact and attack drills; counter-tracking and anti-following procedures; selection and occupation of Objective Rally Point (ORP) and associated actions; and scenario-based field exercises to validate coordination, communication, and maneuver under operational conditions.

Recommended equipment:

Comfortable civilian or tactical clothing or combat uniform and solid outdoor or duty footwear (both adapted to the current weather and outdoor temperatures), belt, you can also bring your own plate carrier or any complete ballistic protection with an AR15 magazine poches, helmet, shooting goggles, kneepads and tactical gloves. If you do not have anything from mentioned gear, bring just only the clothing or duty gear based on your civilian or Law Enforcement/Military daily usage. No need to buy expensive tactical gear just for course purposes. This is not compulsory on this course. As you are about to attend entire course in the forest and there is an emphasis on camouflage and blending in, match the colour of your clothing and equipment to the forest and open terrain as much as possible.

If you would like to try out modern ballistic gear and equipment, we are able to provide modern plate carrier including ballistic plates and magazine pouches, high end ballistic protective helmet Galvion or some other tactical equipment and gear. Please click on your chosen course date and you will see a full list of equipment available for that course date.

Weapon:

This course uses airsoft weapons, which offer a significantly greater range than the FX Simunition systems we commonly work with. Participants may use our training M4-type airsoft rifles, which can be pre-ordered for a symbolic fee—this typically only covers post-course servicing and maintenance. The weapon is NOT included in the course price! If you have your own airsoft weapon or sling, you are encouraged to bring it—personal equipment is welcome and fully permitted.
