River Operations
Course Description:
River Operations builds on Small Unit Tactics that begin and/or end on the water. This course trains infil/exfil, river patrolling and emergency extraction using medium speedboats. Swimming ability is mandatory. Attendance of our SUT course is recommended but not required.
Contents:
Basic theory and familiarization with assets, including the theory of beach reconnaissance (swimmers / combat divers / drones). Practical training focuses on silent infil and exfil, hot extraction under fire, and reactions to contact from shore; anti-tail measures and ambush/decoy drills are practised. The course concludes with force-on-force scenarios to rehearse planning, roles and full infil→task→exfil cycles. Video clip from River Operations course

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.
