Course Description:

The FIBUA (Fighting in Built-Up Areas) course is an intensive two-day tactical program focused on operating in urban combat environments beyond interior CQB structures. The training develops the principles required for safe movement, coordination, and engagement within streets, intersections, open spaces, and multi-building environments. 

Participants train in small-unit movement, control of sectors, and coordinated maneuver between structures under realistic tactical conditions. Emphasis is placed on element coordination, mutual support, controlled crossing of danger areas, and occupation of buildings and strongpoints. The course integrates practical drills and scenario-based training to simulate the complexity and unpredictability of built-up combat environments.

Contents:

Fundamental theory of operations in built-up areas; refresher of CQB team fundamentals as a foundation for external urban movement; small-unit movement along streets and between buildings; crossing of open spaces and danger areas; intersection control and sector management; occupation and securing of buildings and establishment of strongpoints; use of one element to provide covering fire for maneuvering elements; coordinated maneuver and urban combat drills; and scenario-based exercises using training weapons to integrate movement, communication, and tactical decision-making.

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 kydex or plastic hand gun holster placed on the strong hand side and covering the trigger guard with airsoft or dummy pistol, plate carrier or any complete ballistic protection with an AR15 magazine poches, helmet, shooting goggles, kneepads, tactical gloves and gun mounted flashlight. 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.

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.
