PRIVATE COURSE
Interior Conflict 1 is MTAC Training’s foundational Close Quarters Battle course, designed to develop the individual skills required to safely and effectively operate with a rifle in confined environments.
IC1 begins with the fundamentals of working inside structures and progressively introduces students to the problems created by doors, corners, hallways, intersections, and interconnected rooms. Students will learn how to understand and manage angles, properly navigate a structure, identify and address priorities, and make sound decisions as the environment changes.
The course is heavily hands-on. Students will spend the majority of their time working inside MTAC’s dedicated CQB training facility, progressing from techniques into increasingly complex problems and introducing navigation with others.
Topics include:
CQB principles and fundamentals
Understanding and working angles
Doors and threshold problems
Corners and room entry
Hallways and intersections
Structural navigation
Priorities of work
Weapon management in confined spaces
Decision-making and problem solving
Communication and working around others
Progressive CQB exercises and scenarios
IC1 is appropriate for responsible armed citizens and other qualified students who want structured, professional instruction in CQB fundamentals. This is not a basic firearms course. Students should already be comfortable safely operating an AR-15-style rifle, including loading and unloading, manipulating the safety, and placing the weapon on action.
Training is conducted using MTAC’s NLTA weapon-conversion systems, allowing students to apply the techniques against realistic problems inside the shoothouse rather than limiting the course to static drills.
Course Length: 2 Days
Training Environment: MTAC Indoor CQB Facility
Ammunition: NLTA ammunition included
Prerequisite: Safe and competent manipulation of an AR-15 style rifle
