LF ITCQB 01 – Live Fire Close Quarters Fundamentals

LF ITCQB 01 is a two-day live-fire course built around one simple idea:
What actually works in CQB under stress must also work on the range.

This course takes the lessons we observe in Force-on-Force—timing errors, visual overload, hesitation, muzzle discipline under pressure, friendly-fire risks—and isolates them into practical, measurable live-fire drills. Instead of abstract marksmanship, students train shooting standards that are directly rooted in real CQB problems.

Location: Etoy, Switzerland

You will work on:

• CQB-specific shooting standards built around real threshold angles and confined-space problems

• Meeting Project Gecko’s ITCQB live-fire benchmarks for close-quarters engagement

• Detailed instruction in Solo CQB, with direct live-fire application at the door and inside rooms

• Managing muzzle, timing, and visual priority in compressed environments

• Friendly-fire prevention drills in a true 360° live-fire setting

• Translating Force-on-Force failures into concrete, measurable shooting tasks

Course Modules:

1. Refresh / intro into ballistics

2. Entry Test - cognitive and marksmanship test

3. ITCQB LP Shooting standards

4. Solo CQB - Search & Attack speed drills

5. Friendly Fire prevention 360 Live fire

This course is not about “running drills.” It is about building CQB-relevant shooting standards and validating them under real constraints. Students will be taught how to clear rooms solo, understand threshold problems in depth, and apply those concepts with live rounds—where angles, timing, and accountability actually matter.

A dedicated portion of the course is focused on friendly-fire prevention in 360° live fire, addressing one of the most critical and least-trained aspects of close-quarters work.

LF ITCQB 01 is a mandatory prerequisite before progressing to any team-oriented live-fire courses by Project Gecko at STA. It establishes the individual baseline required to operate safely and effectively in a lethal CQB training environment.
