Gunsite’s Urban Combat
Training for the new face of war
It’s billed as Gunsite’s most intensive course. The Urban Combat Course covers not just small arms skills and tactics, but includes a wealth of lessons-learned training so that soldiers, Marines and other operators about to be deployed to support the Global War On Terror will have the techniques to survive and prevail in the urban setting that has become the GWOT arena.
Since there is no longer a FEBA (Forward Edge of Battle Area) as when wars were conventional, the battle can be anywhere. Bill Dreeland, a Gunsite rangemaster and chief instructor, wrote the course to prepare students for deployment anywhere in the world. It’s an advanced-level course with a focus on individual small arms tactics and techniques, designed to refresh pistol and carbine skills at distances where most small-arms engagements occur—out to 100 yards.
