Solo Response To Active Threats [SRAT] **First Responder, MIL/DOD only**

     Emerging trends revealed that critical time wasted on waiting for back up to arrive on scene during active shooter incidents is costing innocent lives. Studies have also shown that lone individuals responding to these types of incidents have significantly increased the amount of lives saved.

     Solo Response to Active Threats [SRAT] is designed to equip First Responders and Military Personnel with the tools needed to increase their effectiveness and survivability when navigating combative environments alone. Students will be taught how to rapidly deploy from their vehicles in order to find and stop the killing with the end state goal of treating and evacuating any wounded.  

     Utilizing the "Crawl, Walk, Run" training methodology, students will start with a white board presentations and finish with realistic scenarios.  Live role players, Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) and blanks will be utilized during the training.  

    Drop in AR15 NLTA bolts, Glock 17 sim guns and NLTA munitions are all included in the cost of training.
