SOME THINGS CANNOT BE SIMULATED!! This course is designed for a 12 man Team. The focus is on each operator to experience a very realistic live-fire course in which each student engages targets from inside a closed vehicle; forcing them in extremis to fire through the front windshield, back glass, side windows, static and moving. The course stresses terminal ballistics involved in this environment, the effects of overpressure in a confined space on an operator, noise hazard, spalling, and instability within an evading vehicle.
Gryphon’s Counter-Ambush Vehicle and Firearms Tactics Course will provide you with tactics and driving skills that are battle proven. These are the techniques that will reduce the effectiveness of an actual attack and give you the confidence and knowledge to fight and win. The course is comprised of 10% classroom instruction and 90% practical exercises and drills under stress.
Gryphon Group Security Solutions offers the Counter-Ambush Vehicle and Firearms Tactics Course for active or reserve military special operation units or Federal Agencies only. Gryphon currently trains U.S. Army Special Forces, Navy SEALS, Marine Corps special operations personnel, Department of State, and Department of Energy security staff members.
Each iteration is custom fit to the Special Operations Unit's specific mission and area of operations. Gryphon will liaison with the unit Commander and senior NCO's to accomplish this.

Some of the main topics covered are:

Terminal Ballistics Involved in Vehicle Attacks: What happens to a bullet and the windshield, back glass, and side windows when an operator must shoot through it to survive a surprise attack? Each student will examine the physical affects that occur when firing bullets through the skin and glass of a vehicle.

Field Expedient Bulletproofing: In today’s area of operations, there are many times when pre-fabricated armor is not available to improve the survivability an operator’s vehicle. The course will examine and each operator will live-fire test a variety of field expedient bulletproofing; such as wet sandbags, taped phonebooks, compacted newspaper etc.

Using a Vehicle for Cover: Operators will learn the areas on a variety of vehicles that can be used to protect them from enemy fire and conduct drills dismounting and live firing from these points. Each operator will also utilize these cover points while conducting IADs utilizing high performance marker rounds in a force-on-force scenario.
 
Static Vehicle Counter Ambush Drills: If an operator’s vehicle is under fire from close range and becomes disabled and static, an immediate violent response is one’s only chance at surviving. Each operator will practice seated fire techniques, weapon manipulation methods, and live-fire exercises from each shooting position within a closed vehicle. The emphasis is on replicating real-world threat environments while maintaining a safe training environment. This is high-risk training and entails close proximity shooting.

Moving Vehicle Counter Ambush Drills: As recent reports indicate, Al Qaeda terrorist cell training manuals emphasize attacking moving vehicles. Each operator will conduct live-fire drills from a closed moving vehicle to repel a determined assault from multiple targets. Some things cannot be simulated and this scenario is one of them. Each student will experience the overpressures, noise, flying glass, hot brass, and constant instability of firing from inside a closed evading vehicle.
 
Force-on-Force Counter Ambush Tactics: During the Counter-Ambush Vehicle and Firearm Tactics Course each operator will learn how to recognize and counter some typical ambush scenarios (Traditional, Snap, IVCP). The student will be put into one ambush after another. In the worst of all situations, this set of exercises teaches you how to regain control of the vehicle and continue to evade when, as a passenger, the driver has been killed or incapacitated. The other passengers will then return fire on the attacking vehicle using high performance marker rounds. (IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT ALL OPERATORS ATTEND GRYPHON’S MOBILE FORCE PROTECTION COURSE TO ENHANCE THEIR EVASIVE DRIVING SKILLS BEFORE ATTENDING THE COUNTER-AMBUSH VEHICLE AND FIREARM TACTICS COURSE.)
