Tactical Training Academy Membership
TTA Members consist of all age groups, experience levels, and professions brought together to hone their tactics - and character - when under attack. Members are divided into strike teams of 6 individuals or 3 couples. Each team meets monthly, to conduct advanced training, share meals, and study material, in accordance with the TTA curriculum.
No experience is necessary.
TTA Membership: Year One
Every person who carries a firearm also carries the responsibility of using it well. For years, elite military and LEO operations teams have been training using force-on-force simulation. The TTA makes this level of training available to its members. TTA Members are broken into strike teams of 6 individuals, who conduct training, development, and study together on a monthly basis. Members are required to make a 12-month commitment to their team and can include individuals and couples. Tactics courses covered over Year One vary by team skill level, but typically include:
-
-
Fundamentals
-
Building Clearing & CQB
-
Vehicle Engagement
-
Low-Light
-
Movement, Attack, & Enemy Recognition
-
Retention & Ground Survival
-
Scenario-based training

Training is a mix between classroom instruction, drills, force-on-target, and force-on-force exercises. You will learn to move and engage opponents individually and as a team.
