Phase 2 martial tactical training included some Force-on-Force training where attackers attack full force against a protector with a firearm. Participants were also treated to using our IES interactive shooting simulator which is used by the US Secret Service, FBI, CIA, Federal Air Marshals, all branches of the Military, and many Law Enforcement departments.
