FNP 225 : HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS WITH DON REDL’S FORCE ON FORCE TRAINING

Firearms Nation Podcast

In force-on-force training, participants engage in simulated scenarios where they face opposition from other individuals or teams. These scenarios involve using non-lethal training ammunition, such as paintball rounds or simulated munitions, to replicate the effects of real weapons without causing fatal injuries. The training can take place in various settings, including indoor facilities, outdoor environments, or purpose-built training grounds.

Force-on-force training offers several benefits, including:

1. Realistic decision-making: Participants have to make split-second decisions under pressure, simulating the cognitive demands of actual operational situations.
2. Stress inoculation: By exposing participants to simulated high-stress situations, force-on-force training helps them develop the ability to perform effectively and make sound decisions under duress.
3. Tactical proficiency: The training allows participants to practice and refine their tactical skills, including movement, communication, and target engagement, in a dynamic and interactive setting.

My guest today is Don Redl who is a certified instructor in Force on Force from Simunition (General Dynamics.)
