Federal Agent SWAT Operators 1 (FASO1) Curriculum

The CFT FASO course is 10% classroom and 90% range work. The following topics will be discussed in the classroom and practiced on the range through dry and live fire drills. Within a five day period we will conduct a rifle zero confirmation exercise where then, the course assumes a baseline of competence with both pistol and rifle, which we will confirm though initial diagnostic testing. Once a common level of skill is confirmed, and any shortfalls addressed through individual remedial instruction, we will begin a progressive enhancement of each officer’s skills through drills, both individual and pair-based. Students will engage targets at various distances and in numerous firing positions and circumstances, both environmental and equipment functionality will be challenging and designed to slowly progress to a level of operation based on “subconscious” employment of each system and technique. This allows maximum cognitive evaluation of the officer’s environment and threat-awareness. Each concept, technique and/or subtask will be briefed, demonstrated, and then the student will begin with “walk-thru, talk-thru” and finally live fire demonstration of skill set.
Days one and two involve a progression of individual and team-based skills and acquisition, including threat discrimination and escalation commensurate with threat to include two person team vehicle live fire drills. Day three and four involves scenario based live fire shoot house training, which will culminate and involve all previous skills and techniques. Everything covered and conducted will be explained in detail and demonstrated by the instructors of CFT.
