About the Course
Does this object provide cover or concealment? That question can only be answered at the most critical moment when our lives, and the lives of others, are dependent on an untested object for our protection. This course will dissect the 4 Elements of Cover revealing the truth about what constitutes true cover and how we can maximize our environment in order to end the threat more quickly. Students will experience how to quickly assess what assets are available in a given environment. This course will utilize live fire demonstrations exploring considerations of how first responders can leverage their environment in order to increase their survivability when facing a hostile threat.
